TTY Mode
A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device
that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities,
to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your
TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device
will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint Customer Service using the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing

communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

FCC Regulations:
This mobile phone 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.
This mobile phone 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 radiated 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This mobile 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 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 0.782 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.32
W/kg (Body‐worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: Q78‐ZTEN9500.
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 cm from the body. Use of other accessories 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 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.
HAC
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear
implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants,
digital wireless phones sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone's antenna,
backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2007). While 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 a
rating system for wireless 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 are rated have the rating on their box or a label located
on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and 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.
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 some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use
with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using
your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or
the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to 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 have telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the M4/T4 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you
find this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
