NOTE: The microSD logo is a trademark of the

13

3. Lift the battery up and out.

4. Slide the microSD card out.

14

Charging the Battery

When you first get your new phone you’ll need to charge the
battery.

1. Connect the adapter to the charger jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not
force the connector into the charger jack.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

NOTE: Use only ZTE-approved batteries and chargers with
your phone. The failure to use a ZTE-approved battery and

catch fire or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death
or property damage.

15

Extending the Battery Life

Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery.

power:

• Reduce the screen backlight time.

• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

• Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most

applications using this function will periodically query the
GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains
your battery.

• When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have
to.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S.
Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific 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 phone transmitting at
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

88

station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to

the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on the body are:
Head: 0.685 W/kg, Body: 1.3 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,

depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
individual ZTE N860 phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement.

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 file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on

FCC ID: Q78-ZTEN860C
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and

meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.

89

FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach
of small children or allow them to play with it.

They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally
damage the phone.

Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may
cause an injury or may become detached and create a
choking hazard.

Demagnetization

To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic
devices or magnetic media close to your phone for a long
time.

Air Bags

Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force
and serious injury could result.

Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.

Seizures/Blackouts

The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small
percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or
seizures (even if they have never had one before) when
exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when
playing games or watching video. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult a physician.

96

Repetitive Strain Injuries

To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when
texting or playing games with your phone:

• Do not grip the phone too tightly.

• Press the buttons lightly.

• Use the special features which are designed to minimize

the times of pressing buttons, such as Message
Templates and Predictive Text.

• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone
for emergency communications.

Loud Noise

This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio
devices.

Phone Heating

Your phone may become warm during charging and during
normal use.

97

Electrical Safety

Accessories

Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as

coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery
terminals.

Connection to a Car

Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface
to the vehicle electrical system.

Faulty and Damaged Products

Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories.
Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or

its accessories.
If your phone or its accessories have been submerged in

water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it
until you have taken them to be checked at an authorized
service centre.

98

Radio Frequency Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

99

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of your
phone when boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
