• This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
ZTE F160 User Manual
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 73
• 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
1.020 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.37 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 found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on: FCC ID: Q78-ZTEF160
• 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.

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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment 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.

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.
Use Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device
Your F160 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 F160 has been tested for hearing aid device
compatibility and has an M[4] and/or T[4] 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 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 F160 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. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a headset.
Turn off the Bluetooth function. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption
when it's turned on.
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.

exchange of one new equipment purchased.
The differentiated collection of the refusal and the successive operations of treatment, recovery and waste
help the production of equipment with recycle material and limit the hazardous effects on the atmosphere
and the health eventually caused from one improper management of the refusal.
The illicit disposal of the product by the customer involves the application of the administrative
endorsements of which to article 254 and following of the D.Lgs. 152, April 3rd 2006.
