Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,

and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password
each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to
an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which
erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen, and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you
must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch the Home Key > > Settings > Security >
Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's not
charged or your phone's not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will
lose data.
25
3. Touch Encrypt phone.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your
PIN or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone, to decrypt it.

abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular
problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart,
contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Poor
reception
The network signal is too
weak at your current
location, for example, in
a basement or near a
tall building, because
wireless transmissions
cannot 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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6
161
W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the
ear was 1.6 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range of functions,
they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as
described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum power required to communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN
62311, EN 62209-1, EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation
(RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone
must be used with a minimum of 10 mm separation from the
body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following
advice:
162
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact sheet
193: June 2000).

Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
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.
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.
169

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy (U.S. & Canada)
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 United States, Industry Canada of Canada.
During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in
175
usage against the head with no separation, and near the
body with the separation of 10 mm. 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 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 exposure standard for wireless devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg,
and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is compliance with SAR for general
population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement methods and
176
procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C,
and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and
meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested
with the device directly contacted to the body.
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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQZTEN880G
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.577 W/kg, for usage near the body
is 1.119 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement.
177
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from
your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or
lower to the reported level. To support body-worn
operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not
contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of
10 mm between this device and the your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory,
which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and
use of such body-worn accessories should be avoided.
