Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government‟s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
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 U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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 highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the ear is 1.23 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.484 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
ZTE C76 User Manual
47
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of individual ZTE C76
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
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 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:Q78-C76
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you
do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.

Use Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device
Your ZTE C76 device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this
product, please refer to www.zteusa-support.com.
When 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 ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users
in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. Your ZTE C76
has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4 and T4 rating.
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
ZTE C76 User Manual
51
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate
it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate
less interference with 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.) The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less
likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results
for your hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatible
wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with
disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
Turn on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your ZTE C76 sends the audio from your phone calls to
the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear
calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback
are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the
earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a headset. It‟s
ZTE C76 User Manual
52
better to turn off the Bluetooth function when the HAC setting is on. HAC requires
extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil.
Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be
harmful to your hearing.
