Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
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.
30
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:
5. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings >
Security > Encrypt phone.
6. 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.
7. Touch Encrypt phone.
8. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
9. 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.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it
performs 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
can not 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.

149
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Shortened
standby time
The standby time is
related to your service
provider system
configuration. The same

different servic
e
providers’ systems will
not provide exactly the
same length of standby
time.
If you are located in an
area where signaling is
weak, temporarily power
off the phone.
The battery is depleted. In
high
temperature
environments, battery
life will be shortened.
Use a new battery.
If you are not able to
connect to the network,
the phone will continue
to send out signals as it
attempts to locate a
base station. Doing so
consumes battery power
and will consequently
shorten standby time.
Change your location to
one where the network
is accessible, or
temporarily turn off your
phone.

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.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
160
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Turn 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
Turn 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
onboard the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must
be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference with
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
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
161
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves.
This device 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 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. *Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the device 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
162
level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device 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 device as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 1.14 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.32 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
device 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: SRQ-ZTEZ730
For body worn operation, this device 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 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory
163
and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a
minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the device 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 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:
164
—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.
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- 2011). 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
165
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 M3/T4 level rating.
166
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.
