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 1.6 W/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
89
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station, 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: 1.15 W/kg, Body:1.12 W/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
individual Z788G 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: Q78-Z788G
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 that positions the
handset a minimum of 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 1.5 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.
90

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid
Device
Your Z788G is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC
93
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 Z788G has been tested for hearing aid device
compatibility and has an M3/T3.
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.
94
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.
Turning on the HAC Setting
To turn on the HAC function, touch the Home Key > Menu
Key > Settings > Call settings and tick the Hearing aids
check box. For detailed information, refer to “Using Your
Phone With a Hearing Aid Device” on page 103.
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing aids that
contain telecoils. When the HAC setting is on, your Z788G
sends the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather
than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to
hear calls much better because volume is increased and
95
background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC
setting improves only the calls you listen to through the
earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speaker or with
a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your
battery consumption when it's turned on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a
hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a
hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be
harmful to your hearing.

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.
103
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.
