Security
To protect your mobile phone from illegal usage, take the following security
measures:
Set the PIN code of the SIM card.
Set the phone lock code.
Set call restrictions.
Safety Precautions
This section includes some important information on safe and efficient operation.
Please read this information before using the phone.
Operational Precautions
Please use your phone properly. When making or receiving a call, please
hold your phone as when holding a standard wireline telephone. Make
sure that the phone is at least one inch (about two point five centimeters)
from your body when transmitting.
Do not touch the antenna when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna
area affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than needed.
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts
when exposed to flashing lights, such as when watching television or
5
playing video games. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if
you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor
before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-light
feature on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all
products.)
Keep the phone out of reach of small children. The phone may cause injury
if used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
Please pay attention to traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations on the
use of your phone in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
Use the hands-free function of the phone, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if required.
Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone
more than eight inches (about twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker
when the phone is switched on. Do not carry the phone in the breast
pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. Switch off the phone immediately if necessary.
Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may consult your hearing-aid manufacturer to discuss
6
alternatives.
If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
RF energy.
In areas with special requirements, such as hospitals or health care
facilities, please pay attention to the restrictions on the use of your mobile
phone. Switch off your phone if required.
Mobile Phone
Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the
phone manufacturer. Using any unauthorized accessories may affect
your mobile phone’s performance, damage your phone or even cause injury
and may violate related local regulations for telecom terminals.
Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth
to clean the phone. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth.
Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the
phone.
As your mobile phone can produce an electromagnetic field, do not place
it near magnetic items such as computer disks.
Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TVs, telephones, radios
and personal computers can cause interference.
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store in hot places.
7
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices.
Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone.
Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can damage
internal circuit boards.
Do not connect the phone with any incompatible accessory or
enhancement.
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery.
Do not store the phone with flammable or explosive articles.
Do not charge the mobile phone without the battery.
Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially
explosive environments, such as fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities.
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in
potentially explosive environments can cause explosions or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your
phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted “Turn off electronic devices”. Obey all signs and instructions.
8
Precautions for Electronic Devices
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference
sent by the mobile phone if inadequately shielded, such as the electronic
systems of vehicles. Please consult the manufacturer of the device before
using the phone if necessary.
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
Safety airbags, brakes, speed control systems and oil eject systems should
not be affected by wireless transmissions. If you do meet any of the above
problems, please contact your automobile provider. Do not place your
phone in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Airbags
inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in the airbag deployment area
and the airbag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and in the locations
where the use of two-way radio is also prohibited.
Aircraft Safety
Please turn off your mobile phone before take off. In order to protect the
aeroplane’s communication system from interference, it is forbidden to
use mobile phones in flight. Safety regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on
the ground.
9
If the mobile phone has the automatic timing power-on feature, please
check your alarm setting to make sure that your phone will not be
automatically turned on during the flight.
Battery Use
Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat or
ignite.
Do not store the battery in hot areas or throw it into a fire. Otherwise, it may
cause an explosion.
Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it may cause liquid
leakage, overheating, explosions and ignition of the battery.
Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you do not use it for a long
period.
The battery can be recharged many times, but it will eventually wear out.
When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one.
Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged or show
evidence of ageing.
Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance
with local environmental regulations. Do not dispose of it in household
rubbish.
Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the phone
10
manufacturer. Using unauthorized batteries may affect your handset
performance or may cause danger of explosion, etc.
Warning: If the battery is damaged, do not discharge it. If leakage does come
into contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected areas thoroughly in clean water
and consult a doctor.
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
11
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.
RF Exposure
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
12
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
organisation 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 the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg and the highest SAR value
for this device when tested at the ear was 1.320W/kg and at the body worn was
1.070 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 utilising 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.
FCC ID:Q78-GN280
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.
13
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with
a minimum of 1.5 cm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding
the relevant guideline limits.
14
Limitation of Liability
ZTE shall not be liable for any loss of profits or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages resulting from or arising out of or in connection with using
this product, whether or not ZTE had been advised, knew or should have
known the possibility of such damages. The user should refer to the enclosed
warranty card for full warranty and service information.
Note: The pictures and icons shown in the manual are just schematic drawings
for demonstration of functions. If they are inconsistent with your handset, please
take your handset as the standard. If the inconsistency exits in the manual
because the handset function has been updated, please refer to the follow-up
