complied with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
information The handset is designed to comply with safely,
requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include
4
safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized
method with the
Phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
used frequency bands. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various ZTE phone models, they
are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure
to radio waves.
The SAR limit recommended is 1.6W/kg averaged over one
(1) gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was 0.713W/kg, and when tested at
the body it was 0.830 W/kg SAR compliance for
bodyworn operations is restricted to belt-clips, holsters,

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 holding a
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
7
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 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 the reach of small children. The
phone may cause injury if used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
Please pay attention to the traffic safety. Check the laws
and regulations on the use of your phone in the area
where you drive. Always obey them.
Use hands-free function of the phone, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call
if conditions require.
Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
8
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 aids manufacturer to discuss 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 those facilities with special demand, such as hospital or
health care facilities, please pay attention to the
restriction on the use of 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
9
phone’s performance, damage your phone or even cause
danger to your body and violate related local regulations
about 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 electromagnetic field,
do not place it near magnetic items such as computer
disks.
Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV,
telephone, radio and personal computer can cause
interference.
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or
store it in hot areas. 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 break internal circuit boards.
Do not connect the phone with any incompatible
10
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 battery.
Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with
potentially explosive atmospheres, such as fueling areas,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.
Spark in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause
an explosion 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.
Precautions for Electronic Devices
11
Some electronic devices are susceptible to
electromagnetic interference sent by mobile phone if
inadequately shielded, such as electronic system of
vehicles. Please consult the manufacturer of the device
before using the phone if necessary.
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject
system shouldn’t be affected by wireless transmission.
If you do meet problems above, 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 the same to the place where the use of two-way
radio is prohibited.
Aircraft Safety
Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane
takes off. In order to protect airplane’s communication
12
system from interference, it is forbidden to use mobile
phone in flight. Safety regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while
the plane is on the ground.
If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing
power-on, please check your alarm setting to make sure
that your phone will not be automatically turned on during
flight.
Battery Use
Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit
to overheat or ignite.
Do not store battery in hot areas or throw it into fire.
Otherwise, it will cause explosion.
Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it will
cause liquid leakage, overheating, explosion and ignition
of the battery.
Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you don’t
use it for a long period.
The battery can be recharged for hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk
13
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 aging.
Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of
it in accordance with environment regulations. Do not
dispose of it in household rubbish.
Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the
phone manufacturer. Using any unauthorized battery
may affect your handset performance or may cause
danger of explosion, etc.
Warning: If the battery is damaged, do not discharge it. If the
leakage does come into contact with the eyes or skin, wash
thoroughly in clean water and consult a doctor.
