Please use the modem far away from TV sets, radio and
other electronic equipment so as to avoid electromagnetic
interference.
The modem is not water-resistant, so do not use it in
places where there is high humidity.
Please use original accessories or accessories that are
authorized by ZTE. Using any unauthorized accessories
may affect your modem’s performance, damage your
modem or even cause danger to your body and violate
related national telecom regulations about modems.
Do not attempt to dismantle the modem by yourself. Non-

accessories to come into contact with liquids or moisture

hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life span of
