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
3
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 Head was 0.397W/Kg.on body was 0.157w/Kg
