invalidate the warranty of your handset and also adversely affect the phone’s safety/operation.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When powered on, it intermittently
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is
optimized for the best performance, and automatically reduces in the areas with better reception.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information:
• The handset is designed to comply with safely, requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized method with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various network operator phone
F116 User manual
6 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested
at the ear was 1.210 W/kg* and at the body worn was 1.020 W/kg*
FCC Compliance
