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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
• 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:
f Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
f Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
f Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
f Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
f 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device 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 device 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 device 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 device 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
1.130W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.531W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
ZTE-C S170 User Guide
22 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
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 device with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device 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-ZTECS188.
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.
