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.
28
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.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it
performs abnormally, you can refer to 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.
149
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
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
switched to a
better-quality network
link or phone line.
Unable to
select
certain
features
Your service provider
does not support these
features, or you have not
applied for services that
provide these features.
Contact your service
provider.
Battery not
charging
The battery or battery
charger is damaged.
Contact the dealer.
The phone’s
temperature is below
0°C or higher than 45 °C.
Adjust the battery
charging environment to
avoid extremes of
temperature.
Poor contact between
the battery and charger.
Check all connectors to
make sure all
connections have been
properly made.
150
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Shortened
standby time
The standby time is
related to your service
provider system
configuration. The same
phone used with
different service
providers’ systems will
not provide exactly the
same length of standby
time.
If you are located in an
area where signaling is
weak, temporarily power
off the phone.
The battery is depleted. In
high temperature
environments, battery
life will be shortened.
Use a new battery.
If you are not able to
connect to the network,
the phone will continue
to send out signals as it
attempts to locate a
base station. Doing so
consumes battery power
and will consequently
shorten standby time.
Change your location to
one where the network
is accessible, or
temporarily turn off your
phone.
151
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Cannot turn
your phone
on
Battery power has been
depleted.
Recharge the phone’s
battery.

Some third-party
software is not
compatible with your
phone.
Reset the phone to
factory status.
Enter safety mode and

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.
155
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.
156
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).

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
159
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
160
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
