5 6Health and safety informationSAR certification informationTHIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPO-SURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not toexceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by internationalguidelines. The guidelines were developed by independent scientificorganisation ICNIRP and include margins designed to assure the protection ofall persons, regardless of age and health.This guideline uses a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate,or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR valuefor this device when tested at the ear was 1.320W/kg.11. The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines fortesting.As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting power, theactual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above.This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure itonly uses the minimum level required to reach the network.The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific informationdoes not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobiledevices.Water resistanceYour phone is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.Sensible useUse only in the normal position (held to the ear).Emergency callsKey in the emergency number for your present location, then press .Keep your phone away from small childrenKeep the phone and all its parts, including accessories, out of the reach ofsmall children.

7 8Precautions when using batteries• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way.• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.• If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power.Talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on thecellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the typeof battery, and the charger used. The battery can be charged and ischarged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When theperation time isnoticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a newbattery.• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.• Use only ZTE-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only withZTE-approved chargers. Disconnect the charger from the power sourcewhen it is not in use.• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: itmay require cooling or warming first.• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the capacity andlifetime of the battery will be reduced. Try to keep the battery at roomtemperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily,even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularlyaffected by temperatures below 0°C (32°F).• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental shortcircuiting can occur when ametallic object like a coin, clip or pen causes a direct connection betweenthe + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). Forexample, do not carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag where the batterymay contact metal objects. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage thebattery or the object causing the short-circuiting.• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Alwaysrecycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.Road safetyYour mobile phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice,almost anywhere, anytime.
