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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
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 1.6W/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
1.500W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.918W/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 found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTECS186.
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
no t 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.
