 Electronic systems in a vehicle, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel
injection systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions. The manufacturer
of such equipment may advise if it is adequately shielded from radio transmissions.
If you suspect vehicle problems caused by the radio transmitter in the handset,
consult your dealer and do not switch on the handset until your handset has been
checked by a qualified technician.
Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Third Party Equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by ZTE,
may invalidate the warranty of the handset and also adversely affect the handset‟s
operation. For example, use only the ZTE charger supplied with the handset.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, do not cover the antenna
area (It‟s on the bottom of your phone.) with your hand. Covering the antenna affects
17
ZTE-C E520 User Manual
the call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power levels than needed,
and may shorten talk and standby times.
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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the ear is 1.23 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.771 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
18
ZTE-C E520 User Manual
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various 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/fccid after searching
on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTECE520
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 the
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.
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country:
1. Ensure your handset is ON and in service.
2. Press the End Key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
device for calls.
3. Enter a local emergency number, i.e., 911.
19
ZTE-C E520 User Manual
4. Press the Send Key to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do not
end the call until told to do so.
Note: Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Engine,
Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Service. Give your position, and if possible, remain
stationary and maintain contact. Due to the nature of the cellular system, the connection
of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely on any wireless device
for essential communication such as medical emergencies.
FCC Compliance
This device 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 interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This device 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 radiate 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 determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
20
ZTE-C E520 User Manual
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user„s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Use Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device
Your ZTE-C E520 device is compliant with the FCC and IC Hearing Aid Compatibility
(HAC) requirements.
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 ZTE-C
E520 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M[4] and/or T[4]
rating.
21
ZTE-C E520 User Manual
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. 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 aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones.
Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of your hearing aid.
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. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are
to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
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.
22
ZTE-C E520 User Manual
Turn on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your ZTE-C E520 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 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 speakerphone or with a
headset. Turn off the Bluetooth function. 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.
