If your particular problem can not be resolved using the information in the chart, contact the dealer of handset. Problem Possible causes  Possible solution • 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. Poor reception • You are too far away from a base station for your service provider. You can request a service area map from your service provider. • Poor network trunk quality on the part of your service provider. Press End Key and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network trunk or phone line. Echo or noise • Poor local telephone line quality.  Press End Key and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network trunk or phone line. Unable to select certain features • Your service provider does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features. Contact your service provider. • The battery or battery charger is damaged.  Contact the dealer. • The phone’s temperature is below 0°C or higher than 45 °C. Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid extremes of temperature Batterywill not charge. • Poor contact between the battery and charger.  Check all connectors to make sure all connections have been properly made. • The standby time is related to your service provider system configuration. The same phone used with different service providers’ systems will not provide exactly the same length of standby time. If you are located in an area where signaling is weak, temporarily switch off the phone. • The battery is depleted. In high-temperature environments, battery life will be shortened. Use a new battery. Shortened standby time • If you are not able to connect to the network, the phone will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time. Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your phone. You cannot switch your phone on. • Battery power has been depleted.  Recharge the phone’s battery. Unable to connect to the network. • You are not within the network’s service area.  Check the service area with your service provider.

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 device 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 power 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 device as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.544W/kg, the highest SAR value for head is 1.48W/kg .) • While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. • The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model 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-ZTECS550 • For body worn operation, this mobile phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and 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.
