Personalizing Personalizing

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts, application data, music and
other media, downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must draw an unlock
pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is
to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be
required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator
before turning it on. In many cases the pattern, PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a screen lock pattern, PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you
will lose some or all of your data.
When you’re ready to turn on encryption:
1. Swipe up on the home screen and tap Settings > Security & location > Encryption
& credentials > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your
phone’s not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press
the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your lock screen PIN or password.
5. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE again.
The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time
your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you’ll be prompted to draw the unlock pattern, or enter
your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must draw your unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password each
time you power on your phone to decrypt it.
Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning
You can use the screen pinning feature to keep an app in view, so others cannot switch
to other apps or access your personal information.
Turning On Screen Pinning
1. Swipe up on the home screen and tap Settings > Security & location > Screen pinning.
2. Tap the On/O switch.
3. To add security for unpinning, tap the Lock device when unpinning switch, select
a security option, and follow the on-screen instructions if you do not already have a
pattern, PIN, or password set up.

For Your Safety
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certied power level in
all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage
against the head with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 0.6 inches
(15 mm). Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known
as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits
in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specied in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on le with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-
Z559DL. The FCC ID also can be found on the device when you swipe up on the home
screen and touch Settings > System > About phone > Regulatory information.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.85 W/kg,
and for usage near the body is 0.93 W/kg.
While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 0.6 inches
(15 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 0.6 inches
(15 mm) away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the
reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which
do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 0.6 inches (15 mm)
between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that contains metal was not
tested and certied, and use of such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
FCC Regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
For Your Safety
118 119
For Your Safety For Your Safety
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Mobile Phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with
hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually
cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones
sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna,
backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations
(ANSI C63.19- 2011).
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise and phones also
vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has
developed a rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users in nding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity
of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it
for your personal needs.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used
in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to
try the dierent features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your
service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate
less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more
usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated
phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
contain telecoils.)
Your Z559DL has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T3 rating.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you nd results for
your hearing device.
