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 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.
26
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
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 phone’s performance,
damage your phone or even cause danger to your body
and violate related local regulations about telecom terminals.
27
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
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.
Some electronic devices are susceptible to
electromagnetic interference sent by phone if
inadequately shielded. Please use phone at least 20 cm
or as far away as you can from TV set, radio and other
automated office equipment so as to avoid
electromagnetic interference.
Operating phone may interfere with medical devices like
28
hearing aides and pacemakers, or other medical devices
in hospital. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the
medical device before using phone.
Be aware of the usage limitation when using phone at
places such as oil warehouses, or chemical factories,
where there are explosive gases or explosive products
being processed, because even if your phone is in idle
state, it still transmits RF energy. Therefore, power off
your phone if required.
Do not touch the antenna while calling. Otherwise it will
affect the quality of calling and waste battery energy. The
damaged antenna will cause slight burn while touching
your skin.
Keep phone out of the reach of small children. Phone
may cause injury if used as a toy.
Do not put other things on the terminal to avoid overlaying
radiator.
Keep the antenna free from obstructions and position the
antenna straight up. This will ensure best call quality.
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
29
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
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.
30
Aircraft Safety
Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane
takes off. In order to protect airplane’s communication
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
time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal,
it is time to replace it with a new one.
31
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.

Health and safety informationRadio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model 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
33
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 towards ground is 0.788
mW/g.
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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTEGS512.
