General Safety

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 certified 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 certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because

4 - For Your Safety

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
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 device transmitting at its highest certified
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 file 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-ZTEN817.
For this device, the highest reported SAR

value for usage against the head is 1.05 W/kg,
for usage near the body is 1.23 W/kg.

While there may be differences 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

5 - For Your Safety

or lower to the reported level. To support
body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 15
mm between this device and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn
accessory, which contains metal, was not
tested and certified, and use such body-worn
accessory should be avoided.

FCC Regulations

This mobile phone 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.

This mobile phone 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.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user‘s authority to

operate the equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.

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 a rating system for wireless
phones to assist hearing device users in
finding phones that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that are rated have the
rating on their box or a label located on the
box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results
will vary depending on the user's hearing
device and 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
different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing
aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you

6 - For Your Safety

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 to 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 have telecoils in
them.)

Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your

hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find this
rating. For more information about FCC
Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go 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 PIN or password as screen lock.
 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. From the home screen, touch >

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, touch .

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password
and touch Next.

5. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and

displays its progress. Encryption can take
an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.

WARNING!

Do not interrupt the encryption process, or
data may be lost.

6. When encryption is completed, you're
prompted to enter your PIN or password.
