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:
Set a lock screen PIN or password.
Charge the battery.
Keep the phone connected to the charger.
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.

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.
Protecting Your SIM with a PIN

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
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 10
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.
100
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
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: SRQ-Z740.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 1.05W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.13 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 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.
To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters,
which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a
separation of 10 mm between this device and the your body.
101
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.
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

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
regulations for Mobile phones
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 C63.19-2011). While 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 a
rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users
in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
104
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated
have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The
ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user's hearing device and 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.
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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to 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
have telecoils in them.)
105
Your phone meets the M3/T4 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find
this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

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 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
114
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
use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit
with an external antenna is included in the installation.
