Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password
each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases
all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen, and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
26
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must
not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings >
Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's not
charged or your phone's not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will
lose data.
3. Touch Encrypt phone.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your PIN
or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you
power on your phone, to decrypt it.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs
abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular
problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart,
contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Poor
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.
148
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Echo or
noise
Poor network link quality
on the part of your
service provider.
End the call and dial
again. You may be
switched to a
better-quality network
link or phone line.
Poor local telephone line
quality.
End the call and dial
again. You may be
switched to a
better-quality network
link 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 not
charging
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.
149
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
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 power
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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This 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 United States,
Industry Canada of Canada.
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 against the head with
no separation, and near the body with the separation of 15 mm.
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 phone 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 devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry
Canada.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin
65 Supplement C, and Canada RSS 102. This device has been
tested, and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when
155
tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone 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: Q78-Z660G.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 0.68W/kg, for usage near the body is 0.91 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation
distance of 15 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry
this device at least 15 mm away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support
body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do
not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 15
mm between this device and the your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which
contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
156
FCC Compliance
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.

157
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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid
Device
Your Z660G is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility
(HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including
the HAC rating of this product, please refer to
www.zteusa-support.com.
When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless
telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile
phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box.
Your Z660G has been tested for hearing aid device
compatibility and has an M3/T4.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on
the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of
your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable
158
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the
best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
contain telecoils.) The more immune your hearing aid device is,
the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your
wireless phone.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type
of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find results for your hearing
device.
For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to
hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC
has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access
to telecommunications services, please go to

Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To
achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker
and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when
166
one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device
and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You may
also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so
by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard
the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be
enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference with
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the
167
use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit
with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted
signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio
equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or
“electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,
including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If
in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
airbag inflates, serious injury could result.
168
Third Party Equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made
