General Guidelines
Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations about taking pictures in public or
private areas regarding the processing and further use of such pictures. ZTE
encourages its customers to obey all laws and to honor the personal rights of
others.
Check the roaming agreement availability with your network operator.
The use of mobile phones is not allowed in some radiation sensitive areas, such as
hospitals, research centers, and airplanes. The user is responsible for powering-
off the device. If there is any uncertainty, the battery should be removed.
Observe any signs that indicate powering off your handset, such as those near gas
stations or explosives.
If you have a heart condition, be careful with the setting of call vibration or tone
volume. This phone is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your
hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo
headsets or other audio devices.
Do not allow children to play with the handset, charger or batteries.
The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected if a handset is used next to them. Observe any
caution signs and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Take care not to put your phone in the back pocket of your pants and then sit on
the phone. Also, do not put your phone at the bottom of a bag where it may be
subject to excessive weight or pressure as this may damage the LCD and camera
lens and cause them to malfunction.
F350 User Manual
16
The phone contains metal and may cause a reaction for overly sensitive skin types.
Do not leave the phone discharged or without a battery for a long period of time.
Otherwise some data may be erased.
Road Safety
You must exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give your full
attention to driving.
Observe all of the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety
documentation.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions
require so. Check if local laws and/or regulations restrict the use of cellular phones
while driving.
You must not stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call,
except in emergency situations.
Switch off your handset at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you are

transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems caused by the radio transmitter in
F350 User Manual
17
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,

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
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.
F350 User Manual
18
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 1.52 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.901 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
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
F350 User Manual
19
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTECF350
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.
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
F350 User Manual
20
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
condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
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:
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.
F350 User Manual
21
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 F350 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 F350 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. Your F350 has been
tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4 and/or T3 rating.
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
F350 User Manual
22
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.
Turn on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your F350 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. Turn off the Bluetooth function. It does not affect calls heard on the
speakerphone or with a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your
battery consumption when it's turned on.
F350 User Manual
23
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.

Consumer Limited Warranty
ZTE ("Seller") offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed product or products (the
"Product") will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period that
expires one year from the date of sale of the Product to you, provided that you are the
original end-user purchaser of the Product and provided that your purchase was made
from a supplier authorized by the Seller. Transfer or resale of a Product will
automatically terminate warranty coverage with respect to that Product. This limited
warranty is not transferable to any third party, including but not limited to any
subsequent purchaser or owner of the Product. This limited warranty is applicable only
to end users in the United States.
Seller will, at its sole and absolute discretion, either repair or replace a Product (which
unit may use refurbished parts of similar quality and functionality) if found by Seller to
be defective in material or workmanship, or if Seller determines that it is unable to
repair or replace such Product, Seller will refund the purchase price for such Product,
provided that the subject Product (i) is returned to a Seller authorized service center
within the one year warranty period, and (ii) is accompanied by a proof of purchase in
the form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice which evidences that the subject Product
is within the one year warranty period. After the one year warranty period, you must
pay all shipping, parts and labor charges. In the event that the product is deemed un-
repairable or has been removed from the list of products supported by the Seller, you
will only be liable for shipping and labor charges.
