Never text while driving.

Keep your phone at least 5 mm away from your
body while making calls.

Small parts may cause choking.

Your phone can produce a loud sound.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen

at high volume levels for long periods. Exercise
caution when holding your phone near your ear
while the loudspeaker is in use.

Avoid contact with anything magnetic.
Keep away from pacemakers and other electronic

medical devices.
Turn off when asked to in hospitals and medical

facilities.
Turn off when told to on aircraft and at airport.

Turn off when near explosive materi als or liq ui ds.

Don’t use at gas stations.

Your phone may produce a bright or flashing light.

Don’t dispose of your phone in fire.

Avoid extreme temperatures.

Avoid contact with liquids. Keep your phone dry.

Do not attempt to disassemble your phone.

7

Only use approved accessories.
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be

installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

Don’t rely on your phone as a primary device for
emergency communications.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested
at the head was 0.538 W/kg*, and when tested at the body

was 0.934 W/kg* with 5 mm distance. As mobile devices offer
a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such
as on the body as described in the user manual**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the d evice to ensure it only uses
the minimum power required to communicate with the
network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN
50566, EN 62479, EN 62209-1 and EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation in the user manual.

EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

Hereby, ZTE Corporation declares that the radio equipment
type ZTE Z2312 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at
the following Internet address:

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

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 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
employing a unit of measurement is known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.

This device is complied with SAR for general
population /uncontrolled exposure limits in
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested

12

in accordance with the measurement methods
and procedures specified in IEEE1528.

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: ZTEZ2312.

For this device, the highest reported SAR
value for usage against the head is 0.366
W/kg, and for usage near the body is 1.106
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 10 mm
between the unit and the human body. Carry
this device at least 10 mm away from your
body to ensure RF exposure level compliant 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 10
mm between this device and your body.

13

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

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.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer 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.

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

14

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 w hich t he rec eiver is
connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.
