For Your Safety
General Safety
Don‟t make or receive
handheld calls while driving.
And never text while driving.
Don‟t use at petrol
stations.
Keep your phone at least
15mm away from your ear
or body while making calls.
Your phone may
produce a bright or
flashing light.
Small parts may cause a
choking.
Don‟t dispose of your
phone in fire.
Your phone can produce a
loud sound.
Avoid contact with
anything magnetic.
Keep away from
pacemakers and other
electronic medical devices.
Avoid extreme
temperatures.
16
Switch off when asked to in
hospitals and medical
facilities.
Avoid contact with
liquids. Keep your
phone dry.
Switch off when told to in
aircrafts and airports.
Don‟t take your phone
apart.
Switch off when near
explosive materials or
liquids.
Only use approved
accessories.
Don‟t rely on your phone for emergency communications.
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
17
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 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 this model phone as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the ear is 0.593 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.25 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 individual Arthur
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-ZTEN860
18
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
that 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 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.
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
19
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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Your Arthur is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of
this product, please refer to www.zteusa-support.com.
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
20
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 Arthur has been
tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M 4 and/or T 3 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.
21
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.
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.
Notice：The handset is capable of
supporting other voice-capable interfaces that have not
been HAC rated.
Turning on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your Arthur 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
22
feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to
through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speaker or with a
headset. 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.
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk
of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) can
cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws
and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce
the risk of an accident.
23

Interference
General Statement on Interface
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm
be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the
opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
31
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the
distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between
them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if
operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical
device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics
or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by
airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the
aircraft, if your device offers a „flight mode‟ this must be enabled prior to
boarding an aircraft.
32
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their
vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
Explosive Environments
Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to
turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or
in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid
interfering with blasting operations.
33
Getting Started
Thanks for choosing Arthur. If you‟d like your new phone to live a long and
fruitful life, please read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.
You never know when you might need it.
And don‟t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your phone‟s functions
look a little different from what you see on its screen. It‟s the functions they
show that matter.
Another thing you‟ll notice is that we talk about „tapping‟ a lot. That‟s because
your phone has a touch-screen, which means a simple tap with your finger
can both select and open a file. Indeed, you can „slide‟ switches on the
screen, „hold‟ files until a list of shortcuts pops up, casually „flick‟ from page
to page, „drag‟ items into the bin with a well-aimed index finger, or even
„pinch‟ images to zoom in or zoom out. It‟s a joy to use.
