Let’s get started

Let’s get started

Thanks for choosing the ZTE-AR910. It’s a CDMA 2000 Wireless data
terminal, which we’ll simply call ‘router’ from now on.

If you’d like your router to live a long and fruitful life, please read this guide
carefully and keep it for future reference. You never know when you might
need it.

And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your router’s
functions look a little different from what you see on its screen. It’s the
functions they show that matter.

Lost or stolen?

If your router goes missing, please tell your service provider as soon as
you know. That way other people can be barred from using it.

We’d strongly advise you to set a PIN, and change it from time to time.

Let’s get started

Using your router safely

on the road

 Using a router while driving is illegal in many countries. Please follow

local laws and drive safely at all times.

near sensitive electronics

 Don’t use your router near sensitive electronic equipment – particularly

medical devices such as pacemakers – as it could cause them to
malfunction. It can also interfere with the operation of fire detectors and
other automatic-control equipment.

 For more information about how your router affects pacemakers or

other electronic equipment, please contact the manufacturer or your
local distributor.

 Your router may cause interference when used near TVs, radios or

automated office equipment.

while flying

 Your router can cause interference with aircraft equipment. So it’s

2

Let’s get started

essential you follow airline regulations. And if airline personnel ask you
to switch off your router, or disable its wireless functions, please do as
they say.

in hospital

 Your router may interfere with the normal operation of medical

equipment. Follow all hospital regulations and turn it off when you’re
asked to by posted warnings or medical staff.

at a petrol station

 Don’t use your router at petrol stations. In fact, it’s always best to switch

off whenever you’re near fuels, chemicals or explosives.

around water

 Keep your router away from water (or any other liquid). It’s not a

waterproof model.

making repairs

 Never take your router apart. Please leave that to the professionals.

Unauthorised repairs could break the terms of your warranty.

3

Let’s get started

 Keep your mobile out of children’s reach. It should never be used as a

around children

toy and it might not be good for their health.

original accessories

 Only use the original accessories supplied with your router or those

approved by the manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories may
affect performance, make the warranty void, break national regulations
on the use of routers, or even cause injury.

near explosives

 Turn off your router in or near areas where explosive materials are used.

Always obey local laws and turn off your router when requested.

working temperature

 The working temperature for the router is between 0℃ and 40℃.

Please don’t use the router outside the range. Using the router under

4

Let’s get started

too high or too low temperature might cause problems.

Battery care and safety

 Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
 Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to lose its

ability to recharge. If you find that the battery won’t recharge, it’s time to
replace it.

 Please don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish. You’ll find

there are special bins for batteries at refuse collection points. And some
high street electrical stores provide a battery recycling service too.

 Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable and could

explode, hurting you or somebody else.

 When you put the battery into your router, there’s no need to use force.

Exerting too much pressure could make it leak, overheat, explode or
burst into flame.

 Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage, overheating,

explosion or fire.

 If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time (when

in use, charging or even while in storage) please stop using it

5

Let’s get started

immediately and replace.

 Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to overheat

or corrode.

 Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot, like in a

car on a summer’s day. That could make it leak or overheat, while
lowering its performance and shortening its life.

 Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours. Overcharging is not

good for it.

Note:

Please avoid contact with the materials inside a damaged or
leaking battery. If they get on your skin, wash with lots of water
and seek medical assistance if required.

Charger care and safety

 Only plug into voltages between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using a voltage

outside that range can damage the router/charger – and cause the

6

Let’s get started

battery to leak or catch fire.

 Never short-circuit the charger – this may cause electrocution,

overheating or damage.

 Don’t charge the router in direct sunlight or in an area where it’s damp,

dusty, or on a vibrating surface. And charging your router near – or on –
a TV or radio could interfere with transmission.

 Don’t use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It may cause a fire

or give someone an electric shock.

 Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger does get

splashed by water, or any other kind of liquid, immediately unplug it to
avoid overheating, fire or electrocution.

 Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give you an electric

shock or catch fire.

 Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet hands.
 Don’t place heavy objects on the electric cable.
 If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it yourself – it could cause a

fire or electrocute you.

 Always unplug the charger before you clean it.
 When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather than pulling on

4RF exposure information (SAR)

This mobile 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 employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6W/kg.
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 certi fied 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 opera te a t multiple pow er levels so a s
to use only the poser required to rea ch the ne tw ork. 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, described in this
