Declaration
We, ZTE Corporation, declared that:
The product is installed with battery separately in the box. The FCC
ID label is placed on the mobile phone clearly visible to all persons
at the time of purchase.
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
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.
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone and battery by
yourself. Non-expert handling of the devices may damage them.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) 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
vii
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health. The
exposure standard for wireless fixed phoned employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limits set by the FCC are 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone transmitting as 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 a wireless base station, the lower the output power.
The Highest SAR Values for this model phone when tested for use
on the Right cheek were 1.50 mW/g.
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic
interference sent by phone if inadequately shielded. Please use
phone at least 20cm or as far as you can from TV set, radio and
other automated office equipement so as to avoid interference.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the
vicinity of the handset.
viii
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.
