Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google accounts, application data, music
and other media, downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must enter a
numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is
to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be
required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator
before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a lock screen PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must not interrupt it or you
will lose some or all of your data.
When you’re ready to turn on encryption:
1. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone
is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press the
Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
4.
Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap NEXT.
5. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE again.

an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you’ll be prompted to enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone
to decrypt it.
Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning

other apps or access your personal information.
Turning on Screen Pinning

information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem Possible Causes Possible Solution
Poor reception
The network signal is too weak
at your current location, for
example, in a basement or near
a tall building, because wireless
transmissions can not eectively
reach it.

received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,
during peak times, there may
be too much network trac to
handle additional calls).
Avoid using the phone at such
times, or try again after waiting a
short time.
You are too far away from a base
station for your service provider.
You can request a service area
map from your service provider.
Echo or noise
Poor network link quality on the
part of your service provider.
End the call and dial again. You
may be switched to a betterquality network link or phone line.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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
United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certied power level in
all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage
against the head with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 10 mm.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level
of the device 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
antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on le with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-Z963VL.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.25 W/kg,
for usage near the body is 1.18 W/kg.
While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 15 mm
between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your
body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Mobile Phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with
hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually
cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones
sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna,
backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations
(ANSI C63.19-2011).
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones
also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry
has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in
nding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. These ratings are not
guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device
and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone
with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used
in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to
try the dierent features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your
service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate
less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more
usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated
phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
contain telecoils.)
Your Z963VL has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T4 rating.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you nd results for
your hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC’s actions with regard to hearing aid compatible
wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with
disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
