IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS BOOKLET CONTAINS IMPORTANT
OPERATIONAL AND SAFETY INFORMATION THAT
WILL HELP YOU SAFELY USE YOUR PHONE. FAILURE
TO READ AND FOLLOW THE INFORMATION PROVIDED
IN THIS BOOKLET MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
• To maximize performance, do not touch the
bottom portion of your phone where the internal
antenna is located while using the phone.
• Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to
rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet,
immediately turn the power o and remove
thebattery.
• Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight
for extended periods of time (such as on the
dashboard of a car).
• Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a
complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
• Any changes or modiications to your phone
not expressly approved in this document could
void your warranty for this equipment and void
your authority to operate this equipment.
• For the best care of your device, only
authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may
be dangerous and void your warranty.
MAINTAINING SAFE USE OF AND ACCESS TO
YOUR PHONE
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for EmergencyCalls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile
phone for essential communication (e.g., medical
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on
all cellular networks or when certain network services
or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your
local service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the
phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to speciic restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes irst.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and eiciently, always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your
phone o in areas where use is forbidden or when it
may cause interference ordanger.
Using Your Phone Near Other ElectronicDevices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from
wireless phones may aect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. RF signals may aect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating
systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or their representative
to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of
any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF signals.
Always turn o the phone in healthcare facilities,
and request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Turning O Your Phone Before Flying
Turn o your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member
to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations
prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning O Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone o when in a blasting area or in other areas with
signs indicating two-way radios should be turned o.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices
to set o explosives. Turn your phone o when you’re
in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could
generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or ire,
resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
• Fueling areas such as gas stations.
• Below deck on boats.
• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
• Areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
• Any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn o your vehicle’s engine.
Never transport or store lammable gas, lammable
liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your
vehicle that contains yourphone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with
it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your invoice.
USING YOUR PHONE WITH A HEARING AIDDEVICE
When some wireless phones are used with certain
hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere
with the eectiveness of the hearingdevice.
Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount
of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard
C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means
of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices
to determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing device users ind phones that may be
compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones
have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices.
Phones that have been rated have a label located on
the box. Your ZTE Tempo has an M3/T3 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and individual
type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device
is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a
phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable
noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid compatibility and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than unrated phones. (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
have telecoils in them.)
This phone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies
that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless
technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that
have not been tested for use with hearing aids.
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for
immunity to interference noise from wireless phones
and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your
hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your
hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your
phone to determine probable usability:
• Any combined rating equal to or greater than
six oers excellent use.
• Any combined rating equal to ive is
considered normal use.
• Any combined rating equal to four is
considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone,
you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent
use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
It is further suggested you experiment with multiple
phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while
in the store to ind the one that works best with your
hearing aid device. Should you experience interference
or ind the quality of service unsatisfactory after
purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store.
More information about hearing aid compatibility may
be found at: fcc.gov, fda.gov, and accesswireless.org.
To further minimize interference, consider doing
the following:
• Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight
settings to ensure the minimum time interval:
1. Touch > > Settings > Display.
2. Touch Sleep to set the time interval
beforethe display backlight turns o;
touchNavigation key light duration to
turnon or o keypad backlight and set
backlight duration.
• Position the phone so the internal antenna is
farthest from your hearing aid.
• Move the phone around to ind the point with
least interference.

RADIO FREQUENCY RF ENERGY
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it's turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the
system handing your call controls the power level.
This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in
digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's 1982 standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to
RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries developed this updated
standard after reviewing the available body of research.
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation.
In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and
the guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
a Boost-supplied or Boost-approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not
use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at
least 0.6 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at fcc.gov.
Speciic Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of
RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a
wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does
not represent how much RF the phone emits. All
phone models are tested at their highest value in
strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the
SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the
level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety
of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent
a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated
above, variations in SAR values between dierent
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
Head: W/kg (1 g)
Body-worn: W/kg (1 g)
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency
Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number:
SRQ-ZTEN9131
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found
from the following FCC website: http://fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
