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 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 0.768 W/kg, and when tested at the body it was 0.864 W/kg SAR compliance for bodyworn
operations is restricted to belt-clips, holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly
and which provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna, and the users body.
