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.
27
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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure for
CE
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
154
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2
W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the
ear was 0.857 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the
body as described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum power required to communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN
62311, EN 62209-1, EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation
(RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone
must be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the
body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
155
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact sheet
193: June 2000).
Regulatory Information
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as
noted.
Please find the section Declaration of RoHS Compliance and
CE DOC in the end of this manual.
FCC Regulations:
This mobile phone 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
156
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone 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 radiated 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

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
157
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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 was 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 employing a
unit of measurement is 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 complied 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
158
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:
Q78-Z796C.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.95 W/kg, for usage near the body is
1.18 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
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
159
metallic components, to maintain a separation of
15mm between this device and 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.
Z796C does not have embedded software to support VOIP
by default, and RF exposure compliance has not been
assessed for possible VOIP operation. Installing 3rd party
application to enable VOIP operation should be avoided
