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 network operator, may
invalidate the warranty of your handset and also adversely affect the phone‟s safety/operation.
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
1.43W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.45W/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/fccid
after searching on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTEF100
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
8 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
ZTE F100 User Manual
of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
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:

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.
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country:
1. Ensure that your handset is on and in service.
2. Press End Key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the device for calls.
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location, for example, 112 (the international
emergency number).
4. Press Send Key to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do not end the call until told to do
so.
When the (U)SIM card is not inserted, press Right Soft Key [SOS] and then enter the official emergency
number for your present location. Press Send Key or OK Key [Call] to dial the number.
Notes:
•
Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Coastguard or Mountain
Rescue Service. Tell them where you are and remain stationary to maintain contact if possible.
•
Due to the nature of the cellular system, the connection of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed. You
should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.

Questions & Answers
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs erratically, you can consult the
information in the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the
chart, please contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Poor reception
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.
• 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.
• Poor local telephone line quality.
Press End Key and dial again. You may be
switched to a better-quality network trunk or
phone line.
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.
• 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 power off the phone.
• The battery is depleted. In
high-temperature environments, battery life
will be shortened.
Use a new battery.
• 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.
Battery power has been depleted.
Recharge the phone‟s battery.
