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.Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority tooperate he equipment.NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuantto part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energyand, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turningthe equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the followingmeasures:-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.Health and safety informationRadio Frequency (RF) EnergyThis 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 SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standardoperating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all testedfrequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of thephone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use towards ground is1.09 mW/g. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various 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 asin compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCCand can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching onFCC ID: Q78-F953Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 41

Chapter 14 Troubleshooting and FAQs If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs erratically, you can consult the information in the chart below. If your particular problem can not be resolved using the information in the chart, contact the dealer of handset. Problem Possible causes Possible solutionPoor reception • The network signal is too weak at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions can not effectively reach it. Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received. • The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional calls). Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time. • You are too far away from a base station for your service provider. You can request a service area map from your service provider. Echo or noise • Poor network trunk quality on the part of your service provider. Press End Icon and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network trunk or phone line. • Poor local telephone line quality. Press End Icon and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network trunk or phone line. Unable to select certain features. • Your service provider does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features. Contact your service provider. Battery will not charge. • The battery or battery charger is damaged. Contact the dealer. • The phone’s temperature is below 0°C or higher than 45 °C. Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid extremes of temperature • Poor contact between the battery and charger. Check all connectors to make sure all connections have been properly made. 42 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Shortened standby time • The standby time is related to your service provider system configuration. The same phone used with different service providers’ systems will not provide exactly the same length of standby time. If you are located in an area where signaling is weak, temporarily switch off the phone. • The battery is depleted. In high-temperature environments, battery life will be shortened. Use a new battery. • If you are not able to connect to the network, the phone will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time. Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your phone. You cannot switch your phone on. • Battery power has been depleted. Recharge the phone’s battery. (U)SIM card error • SIM card malfunction or damage. Take the SIM card to your service provider for testing. • SIM card inserted improperly. Insert the SIM card properly. • Debris on the SIM card contacts. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the SIM card contacts. Unable to connect to the network. •SIM card invalid. Contact your service provider. • You are not within the network’s service area. Check the service area with your service provider. • Poor signal. Move to an open space, or if you are inside a building, move closer to a window. You cannot answer incoming calls. • You have activated the Call Barring feature. Go to Settings > Call > Call Barring, and then select Cancel all call barring. You cannot make outgoing calls. • You have activated the Call Barring feature. Go to Settings > Call > Call Barring, and then select Cancel all call barring. Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 43

• You have activated the Fixed Dial Number feature. Go to Settings > Security > Fixed Dial Numbers and select OFF to turn this feature off. PIN code is blocked. • You have entered an incorrect PIN code three consecutive times. Contact your service provider. If the service provider provides the SIM card’s PUK code, use the PUK code to unlock the SIM card. Unable to enter information into the phone book. • The phone book’s memory is already full.
