maintain contact. Due to the nature of the cellular system, the connection of emergency calls
cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely on any wireless device for essential
communication like medical emergencies.
Certification Information
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for wireless phone:
*
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
17
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. 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 studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
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 1.6W/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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values, as reported to the FCC for this model phone, when tested for use
at the ear are 1.22w/kg for Cellular 850MHz and 1.17w/kg for PCS 1900MHz. And when worn
on the body, are 0.838w/kg for Cellular 850MHz and 1.14w/kg for PCS 1900MHz. (Bodyworn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements.)
18
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement. For body-worn operation, this model
has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the ZTE
accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions. In all cases, products
are designed to be within the guidelines.
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. Additional
information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web site: http://www.phonefacts.net or
the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) web site:
http://www.cwta.ca.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6watts/kg (w/kg) average over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
UL Certified Travel Adaptor:
*
The travel adaptor for this phone passed the UL60950, safety requirements. Please follow
the safety guidelines when using the Adaptor.
FCC Regulations
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.
19
This device 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 radiated 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
