For Your Safety
Radio 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 United States, Industry Canada of Canada.
During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed
in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body with the separation
of 0.4 inches (10 mm). Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device
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 a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg, and 1.6 W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population/ uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada
RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C, and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested
with the device directly contacted to the body.
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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: Q78-Z750C.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 1.27 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.30 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of individual Z750C phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 0.4 inches (10 mm) between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 0.4 inches (10 mm) away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or
lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 0.4 inches (10 mm) between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
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:
• 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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Your Z750C is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information,
including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to www.zteusa-support.com.
When 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 ratings for some
of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not
all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box.
Your Z750C has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T4 rating.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree
of your 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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with 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 contain telecoils.) The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise
from your wireless phone.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find results for your hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC’s actions with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps
the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to
www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
Turning on the HAC Setting
To turn on the HAC function, press > Settings in the dialer and check Hearing aids. For detailed information, refer to
“Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device.”
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing aids that contain telecoils. When the HAC setting is on, your Z750C sends
the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls
much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only
the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speaker or with a headset. HAC requires extra
battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it’s turned on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing
aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.
Distraction

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.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
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 Equipment
Switch 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
Switch 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 on board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of your phone
when boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to 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 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, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
