Radio Frequency (RF) Energy(Only for America) 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 United States.    During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the separation of 10
   ZTE Z288L User Manual 22 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the 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 power required to reach the network.   In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.  The  exposure  standard  for  wireless employs  a  unit of measurement known  as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.   The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.     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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z288L.  For this device, the highest reported SAR value for near the body is 1.41 W/kg.  While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.  SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human  body. Carry  this  device,  at  least  10  mm  away  from  your  body  to  ensure  RF  exposure  level compliant or lower to the reported level.    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 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.
