For Your Safety
This publication is available at http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at
(888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
and other agencies, established RF
exposure safety guidelines for wireless
phones in the United States. Before a
wireless phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested by the
manufacturer and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed limits established by
the FCC. One of these limits is expressed
as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR
are conducted with the phone transmitting
at its highest power level in all tested
frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has
required that the SAR of handheld wireless
phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,
averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the
highest power level, the actual SAR value
of a wireless phone while operating can
be less than the reported SAR value. This
is because the SAR value may vary from
call to call, depending on factors such as
proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the
phone to the body while in use, and the
use of hands-free devices. Before a phone
model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.XX W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is X.XX W/kg
(body-worn measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model
0.55
1.18
15
phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section
of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after
searching on FCC ID BEJC729.
For more information about SARs, see
the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_
Technology/Documents/bulletins or visit
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association website at http://www.ctia.org/
consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You
may also wish to contact the manufacturer
of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there
are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can,
of course, reduce your talk time. You
can place more distance between your
body and the source of the RF, as the
exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. The FDA/FCC website states that
“hands-free kits can be used with wireless
phones for convenience and comfort.
These systems reduce the absorption of
RF energy in the head because the phone,
which is the source of the RF emissions,
will not be placed against the head. On
the other hand, if the phone is mounted
against the waist or other part of the body
during use, then that part of the body will
absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet
safety requirements regardless of whether
they are used against the head or against
the body. Either configuration should result
in compliance with the safety limit.” Also,
if you use your wireless phone while in a
car, you can use a phone with an antenna
on the outside of the vehicle. You should
also read and follow your wireless phone
manufacturer’s instructions for the safe
operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any
special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the
scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication
devices, including children.” The FDA/FCC
website further states that “some groups
sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged
from using wireless phones at all”. For
example, the Stewart Report from the
United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a
recommendation in December 2000. In
ZNFP768g

For Your Safety
Do not expose the phone to liquid or
moisture.
Use the accessories like earphones
cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
Do not use, touch or attempt to remove
or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.
Damage to the glass display due to
abuse or misuse is not covered under
the warranty.
Your phone is an electronic device that
generates heat during normal operation.

If you are listening to music whilst
out and about, please ensure that the
volume is at a reasonable level so that
you are aware of your surroundings.
This is particularly imperative when
near roads.
Avoid damage to your
hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you
are exposed to loud sound for long periods
of time. We therefore recommend that you
do not turn the handset on or off when
close to your ear. We also recommend
that music and call volumes are set to a
reasonable level.
When using headphones, turn the
volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you, or if the
person sitting next to you can hear what
you are listening to.
NOTE:
Excessive sound pressure from
earphones can cause hearing loss.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device are
made of glass. This glass could break if
your mobile device is dropped on a hard
surface or receives a substantial impact. If
the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt
to remove. Stop using your mobile device
until the glass is replaced by an authorised
service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in
progress. Observe restrictions, and follow
any regulations or rules.

About Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi Calling can improve your coverage
and allows you to make phone calls and
send messages over a Wi-Fi network
(when a Wi-Fi network is available).
Unless your rate plan provides otherwise,
Wi-Fi Calling minutes count the same as
T-Mobile cellular calling minutes on your
phone bill.
- To use Wi-Fi Calling, you must first turn
on Wi-Fi, connect to a Wi-Fi network, and
then turn on Wi-Fi Calling.
- When the Wi-Fi Calling feature is on, your
phone displays the
Wi-Fi Calling
icon on
the
Status
bar.
- To stay on a Wi-Fi call, you must remain
within range of the Wi-Fi network. Your
call will drop as you leave the Wi-Fi
range. When your Wi-Fi signal weakens,
your phone will beep and display a
warning message alerting you that your
call will drop if the signal gets weaker.
Wi-Fi Calling offers three connection
options:
-
Wi-Fi Preferred:
All calls are made over
an available Wi-Fi network. If there are no
available Wi-Fi networks calls are made
over the cellular network.
-
Cellular Preferred:
All calls are made
over the cellular network unless the
cellular network is not available, then
calls are made over an available Wi-Fi
network.
-
Wi-Fi Only:
All calls are made over an
available Wi-Fi network. If there are no
available Wi-Fi networks, your calls will
not connect.
