Health and safety information
Precautions when using batteries
• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• If you use the phone near a network base station, the phone uses less power.
Talk and standby times are greatly affected by the signal strength on the
cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the type of
battery, and the charger used. The battery can be charged hundreds of times,
but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
• Use only ZTE-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with ZTE-
approved chargers. Disconnect the charger from the power source when it is
not in use.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may
require cooling or warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the capacity and lifetime
of the battery will be reduced. Try to keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the
battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures
below 0 oC (32 oF).
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a
metallic object like a coin, clip or pen causes a direct connection between the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). For example, do not
carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag where the battery may contact metal
7
objects. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object
causing the short circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Always recycle.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
intermittently receives and transmits Radio Frequency (RF) energy in radio waves
to handle and control the power level at which the handset transmits. Exposure to
radio frequency energy:
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information: The
handset is designed to comply with safely, requirements for exposure to radio
waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety
margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a
standardized method with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various ZTE phone
models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
The SAR limit recommended is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the head is
1.45 W/kg (1g).
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the body is
0.723 W/kg (1g) SAR compliance for body-worn operations is restricted to belt-clips,
holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly
8
and which provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its
antenna, and the user’s body.
Road safety
Your mobile phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. Using a phone while driving causes distraction and can
lead to an accident. When using your mobile phone while driving, follow local
regulations in the country or region you are in.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in the area you are in, and
always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its user’s guide
for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, for the satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the device
should only be used in the normal operating position (held to your ear).
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your mobile phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
9
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6
inches) be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital mobile phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Switch off your
phone in health care facilities when regulations posted in these areas instruct you
to do so.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch off your phone in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
10
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
and obey all signs and instructions to turn off mobile phones and other radio
equipment. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a refuelling point (service
station). Users must observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting
operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include the areas below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders,
and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
Emergency calls
This phone, like any mobile phone, operates using radio signals, wireless, and
landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any mobile
phone for essential communications like medical emergencies.
To make or receive calls, the phone must be switched on and in a service area with
adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all mobile
phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. Switch on the phone.
11
2. Key in the emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers
vary by location.
3. Press the green Send key.
Certain features like Call Barring may need to be deactivated before you can make
an emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
Other important safety information
• Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty applicable to the device.
• Check regularly that all mobile phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with
great force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Improperly installed wireless equipment could result in serious injury if the air
bag inflates.
• Mobile phones can cause interference. Consult airport and airline staff about
the use of the phone on aircraft. Switch off the phone whenever you are
instructed to do so.
• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of
telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both.
12
Care and maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care.
• Keep your phone and all its parts and accessories out of reach of small children and
pets. They may inadvertently damage these things or choke on small parts.
• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that
corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to
you or damage to the phone.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts may be
damaged.
• Do not store the phone in hot areas above 60 oC (140 oF). High tempera- tures can
shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt
certain plastics.
• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its normal
operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage
the phone’s electronic circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth.
• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a microwave oven,
stove, or radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.
• If the phone, battery or charger is not working properly, take it to your nearest
qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary,
arrange for service.
