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.
35
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 power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear and on the body are:
Head: 1.277 W/kg, Body: 1.464 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
T-Mobile® Concord™ phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
36
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-ZTEN9120
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,
37
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:
38
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 phone 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 generate. The wireless telephone industry has
developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing
39
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 phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and
has an M4/T3.
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
40
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 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.
Turning on the HAC Setting
To turn on the HAC function, touch the Home Key > Menu Key >
System settings > Call and tick the Hearing aids check box.
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing aids that contain
telecoils. When the HAC setting is on, your phone sends the audio from
your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your
41
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 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.

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
53
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.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine
54
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.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic
55
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
Gas 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,
