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.
86
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.

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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S.
Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
106
power level, the actual SAR level of the device 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 poser 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 value for the device as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 1.07 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.01 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device 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-Z777
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
107
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the
device 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.
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
108
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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
regulations for Mobile phones
Your Z777 is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility (HAC) requirements.
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
109
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 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.
110
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.)
Your phone meets the M3/T3 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.

Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force
and serious injury could result.
Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
115
Seizures/Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small
percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or
seizures (even if they have never had one before) when
exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when
playing games or watching video. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult a physician. To reduce the risk
of blackouts or seizures, you can use your phone in a well lit
room and take frequent breaks.
Repetitive Strain Injuries
To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when
texting or playing games with your phone:
Do not grip the phone too tightly.
Press the buttons lightly.
Use the special features which are designed to minimize
the times of pressing buttons, such as Message
Templates and Predictive Text.
Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone
for emergency communications.

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.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
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.
118
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 Equipment
Switch 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
Switch 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 on
board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of your
phone when boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
119
the 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 fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, 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.
