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.
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. Press 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 is not charged or your phone is
not plugged in. If you change your mind
about encrypting your phone, press the
Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption
process, you will lose data.
3. Tap Encrypt phone.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and
tap Next.
5. Tap Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its
Personalizing
11
progress. Encryption can take an hour or more,
during which time your phone may restart
several times.
When encryption is complete, you’ll be
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.

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.
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

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 U.S.
Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the phone 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 phone 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 highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear
and on the body are:
Head: 1.40W/kg, Body: 1.01W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements
and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement.
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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching
on FCC ID: SRQ-Z668C.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that contains
no metal and positions the handset a minimum of
0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory and are not holding the
phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum
of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from your body when the
phone is switched on.
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.
For Your Safety
87
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.
Using Your Phone with a
Hearing Aid Device
Your Z668C is compliant with the FCC
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements.
For additional HAC information, including the
HAC rating of this product, please refers to
www.zteusa-support.com.
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital
wireless telephones compatible with hearing
aids and cochlear implants. Although analog
wireless phones do not usually cause
interference with hearing aids or cochlear
implants, digital wireless phones sometimes
do because of electromagnetic energy emitted
by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other
components. Your phone is compliant with
FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2007).
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
For Your Safety
88
a label on the box.
Your Z668C has been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility and has an M4/T4
rating.
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 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 www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
HAC for Newer Technologies
This phone has been tested and rated for use
with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may
be some newer wireless technologies used in
this phone that have not been tested yet for
use with hearing aids. It is important to try the
different features of this phone thoroughly and
in different locations, using your hearing aid or
cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any
interfering noise. Consult your service provider
or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you
have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or
phone retailer.
