ZTE for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Health and safety information
The phone with internal antenna has been tested for compliance with FCC RF
Exposure (SAR) limits and is complied with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements.
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 ZTE
phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for
exposure to radio waves.
The SAR limit recommended is 1.6W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use on left cheek was 1.3
W/kg. SAR compliance for bodyworn operations is restricted to belt-clips,
holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly
and which provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its
antenna, and the users body

To protect your mobile phone from illegal use, take the security measures as
follows:
¾ Set PIN codes of the SIM card.
¾ Set handset lock code.
¾ Set call restrictions.
Safety Precautions
This section includes some important information on safe and efficient operation.
Please read this information before using the phone.
Operational Precautions
Please use your phone properly. When making or receiving a call, please
hold your phone as holding a wireline telephone. Make sure that the phone is
at least one inch (about two point five centimeters) from your body when
transmitting.
Do not touch the antenna when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna area
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed.
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed
to flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. If
8
you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history
of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on
your phone or enabling a flashing-light feature on your phone. (The flashing-light
feature is not available on all products.)
Keep the phone out of the reach of small children. The phone may cause injury
if used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
Please pay attention to the traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations on
the use of your phone in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
Use hands-free function of the phone, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if conditions require.
Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone more
than eight inches (about twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on. Do not carry the phone in the breast pocket. Use the ear
opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. Switch
off the phone immediately if necessary.
Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may consult your hearing aids manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
9
If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
In those facilities with special demand, such as hospital or health care facilities,
please pay attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone. Switch off
your phone if required.
Mobile Phone
Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the phone
manufacturer. Using any unauthorized accessories may affect your mobile
phone’s performance, damage your phone or even cause danger to your body
and violate related local regulations about telecom terminals.
Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth to
clean the phone. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do
not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the phone.
As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic field, do not place it near
magnetic items such as computer disks.
Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV, telephone, radio and
personal computer can cause interference.
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices.
Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone.
Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can break
10
internal circuit boards.
Do not connect the phone with any incompatible enhancement.
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery.
Do not store the phone with flammable or explosive articles.
Do not charge the mobile phone without battery.
Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially explosive
atmospheres, such as fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Spark in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your phone
when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas
posted “Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Precautions for Electronic Devices
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference sent
by mobile phone if inadequately shielded, such as electronic system of vehicles.
Please consult the manufacturer of the device before using the phone if necessary.
11
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject system shouldn’t be
affected by wireless transmission. If you do meet problems above, please
contact your automobile provider. Do not place your phone in the area over
an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate with great force. If a
phone is placed in the airbag deployment area and the airbag inflates, the
phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants
of the vehicle.
Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and the same to the
place where the use of two-way radio is prohibited.
Aircraft Safety
Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane takes off. In order to
protect airplane’s communication system from interference, it is forbidden to
use mobile phone in flight. Safety regulations require you to have permission
from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing power-on, please
check your alarm setting to make sure that your phone will not be automatically
turned on during flight.
12
Battery Use
Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat or ignite.
Do not store battery in hot areas or throw it into fire. Otherwise, it will cause
explosion.
Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it will cause liquid leakage,
overheating, explosion and ignition of the battery.
Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you don’t use it for a long period.
The battery can be recharged for hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear
out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one.
Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged or show
evidence of aging.
Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance with
environment regulations. Do not dispose of it in household rubbish.
Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the phone manufacturer.
Using any unauthorized battery may affect your handset performance or may
cause danger of explosion, etc.
Warning: If the battery is damaged, do not discharge it. If the leakage does come
into contact with the eyes or skin, wash thoroughly in clean water and consult a
doctor.
