cellular handsets on their premises.

Road Safety

 You must exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give your full attention to

driving.

 Observe all of the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety

documentation.

14

 Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions

require so. Check if local laws and/or regulations restrict the use of cellular phones

while driving.

 You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call,

except in emergency situations.

 Switch off your handset at a refuelling point, such as a gas station, even if you are not

refuelling your own car.

 Do NOT store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as

the handset.

 Electronic systems in vehicle, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection

systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions. The manufacturer of such

equipment may advise if it is adequately shielded from radio transmissions. If you

suspect vehicle problems caused by the radio transmitter in handset, consult your

dealer and do not switch on the handset until your handset has been checked by a

qualified technician.

Vehicles Equipped With an Air Bag

An airbag inflates with great force. Do NOT place objects, including either installed or

portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If

in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates, serious injury

could result.

Third Party Equipment

The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by ZTE,

may invalidate the warranty of the handset and also adversely affect the handset’s

operation. For example, use only the ZTE charger supplied with the handset.

15

Efficient Use

For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, do NOT cover the antenna

area (below the mouthpiece of your phone) with your hand. Covering the antenna affects

the call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power levels than needed, and

may shorten talk and standby times.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it

intermittently receives and transmits Radio Frequency (RF) energy in radio waves to handle

and control the power level at which the handset transmits.

Emergency Services

To make an emergency call in any country:

1. Ensure your handset is ON and in service.

2. Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the device

for calls.

3. Enter a local emergency number.

4. Press the Send key to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do NOT end

the call until told to do so.

When the dial lock function is on, press the Right soft key and then enter a local emergency

number. Press the Send key or OK key to dial the number.

Note: Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire truck, Coastguard

or Mountain Rescue Service. Give your position, and if possible, remain stationary and

maintain contact. Due to the nature of the cellular system, the connection of emergency

calls cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely on any wireless device for essential

communication like medical emergencies.

Certification Information

*Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for wireless phone:

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR

EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general

population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent

scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the

safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

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 power required to reach

the network. In general, the closer you are to wireless base station antenna, the lower the

power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the public, it must be tested and

certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted

requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for

example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

17

The highest SAR values, as reported to the FCC for this model phone, when tested for use

at the ear are 0.97w/kg for Cellular 850MHz and 0.85w/kg for PCS 1900MHz. And when

worn on the body, are 0.29w/kg for Cellular 850MHz and 0.34w/kg for PCS 1900MHz.

(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. For body-worn operation, this model

has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the ZTE

accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not

ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions. In all cases, products

are designed to be within the guidelines.

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. Additional

information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular

Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web site: http://www.phonefacts.net or

the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) web site:

http://www.cwta.ca.

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is

1.6watts/kg (w/kg) average over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a

substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for

any variations in measurements.

18

*UL Certified Travel Adaptor:

The travel adaptor for this phone passed the UL60950, safety requirements. Please follow

the safety guidelines when using the Adaptor.
