User Manual

Declaration

We, ZTE Corporation, declared that:

n The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

n 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.

n Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone by yourself.

Non-expert handling of the devices may damage them.

n 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

n 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

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.

n The Highest SAR Value for this modem when tested for body

0,5cm was 1.14W/Kg.

n While there may be differences the SAR levels of various phones

and at various positions they all meet the government requirement

for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC

RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic

accessory with the handset at least 0.5 cm form the body. Use of

other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF

exposure guidelines.

n This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. n Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est comforme à la norme

NMB-003 du Canada.

n 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.
