Aircraft Safety
Switch off your phone or activate the airplane mode when inside or near an aircraft.
Use of handsets in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft
and may disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe this instruction may lead
to suspension or denial of phone service to the offender, or legal action, or both.
13
C78 User Manual
Airplane mode allows you to use many of your phone’s features, such as games,
calculator, voice memos, and many others when you are in an airplane or other
area where wireless signals may cause interference. In the airplane mode, you
are prohibited from making or receiving calls.
Hospital Safety
Switch off your phone and remove its battery in areas where handset use is prohibited.
Follow the instructions given by any respective medical facility regarding the use of
cellular handsets on their premises.
General Guidelines
Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations about taking pictures in public or
private areas regarding the processing and further use of such pictures. ZTE
encourages its customers to obey all laws and to honor the personal rights of
others.
Check the roaming agreement availability with your network operator.
The use of mobile phones is not allowed in some radiation sensitive areas, such as
hospitals, research centers, and airplanes. The user is responsible for poweringoff the device. If there is any uncertainty, the battery should be removed.
Observe any signs that indicate powering off your handset, such as those near gas
stations or explosives.
If you have a heart condition, be careful with the setting of call vibration or tone
volume. This phone is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your
C78 User Manual
14
hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo
headsets or other audio devices.
Do not allow children to play with the handset, charger or batteries.
The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected if a handset is used next to them. Observe any
caution signs and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Take care not to put your phone in the back pocket of your pants and then sit on
the phone. Also, do not put your phone at the bottom of a bag where it may be
subject to excessive weight or pressure as this may damage the LCD and camera
lens and cause them to malfunction.
The phone contains metal and may cause a reaction for overly sensitive skin types.
Do not leave the phone discharged or without a battery for a long period of time.
Otherwise some data may be erased.
Road Safety

attention to driving.
Observe all of the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety
documentation.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions
require so. Check if local laws and/or regulations restrict the use of cellular phones
while driving.
15
C78 User Manual
You must not stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call,
except in emergency situations.
Switch off your handset at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you are
not refueling your own car.
Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the handset.
Electronic systems in a vehicle, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel
injection systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions. The
manufacturer of such equipment may advise if it is adequately shielded from radio
transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems caused by the radio transmitter in
the handset, consult your dealer and do not switch on the handset until your
handset has been checked by a qualified technician.
Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Third Party Equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by ZTE,
may invalidate the warranty of the handset and also adversely affect the handset’s
operation. For example, use only the ZTE charger supplied with the handset.
C78 User Manual
16
Efficient Use
For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, do not cover the antenna
area (It’s on the bottom of your phone.) with your hand. Covering the antenna affects
the call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power levels than needed,
and may shorten talk and standby times.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
intermittently receives and transmits Radio Frequency (RF) energy in radio waves to
handle and control the power level at which the handset transmits. Exposure to radio
frequency energy:
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. The
handset is designed to comply with safety 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.
17
C78 User Manual
The SAR limit recommended is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the head is
1.53 W/kg (1g).
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the body is 0.662
W/kg (1g). SAR compliance for body-worn 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 user’s body.
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country:
1. Ensure your handset is ON and in service.
2. Press the End Key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
device for calls.
3. Enter a local emergency number, i.e., 911.
4. Press the Send Key to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do not
end the call until told to do so.
Note: Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Engine,
Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Service. Give your position, and if possible, remain
stationary and maintain contact. Due to the nature of the cellular system, the connection
of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely on any wireless device
for essential communication such as medical emergencies.
