implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, unless otherwise required

ZTE shall not be liable for any loss of profits or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy(Only for America)
This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device 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 devices 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 device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the position required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power
output.
The highest SAR value for the model device as reported to the FCC when near the body, as described in
this user guide, is 1.46 W/kg
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
device 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: SRQ-MF96U.
FCC Compliance (Only for America)
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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 21
ZTE MF96U User Manual
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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
—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.
