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 a
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.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch > > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not
27
charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
.
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 in order 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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
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.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
154
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 1.360W/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, EN50566, EN62479.
** 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.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF
155
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.
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 10 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.
172
This device is complied with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528. This
device has been tested and meets the FCC 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:
SRQ-ZTEBLADEAPEX2.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 1.04 W/kg, for usage near the body is
1.41 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
173
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 10 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
metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10
mm 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.
