the call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power levels than needed,
and may shorten talk and standby times.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
intermittently receives and transmits Radio Frequency (RF) energy in radio waves to
handle and control the power level at which the handset transmits. Exposure to radio
frequency energy:
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. The handset
is designed to comply with safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized
method with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various ZTE phone
models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
The SAR limit recommended is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue. The
highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the head is
1.08W/kg (1g).
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the body is
0.941W/kg (1g). SAR compliance for body-worn operations is restricted to

belt clips, holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the
assembly and which provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device,
including its antenna, and the user’s body.
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country:
1. Ensure your handset is ON and in service.
2. Press the End Key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
device for calls.
3. Enter a local emergency number, i.e., 911.
4. Press the Send Key to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do not
end the call until told to do so.
Note: Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Engine,
Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Service. Give your position, and if possible, remain
stationary and 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.
FCC Notice
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.

C76 User manual
17
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Using Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device
Your C76 device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements.
When 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

C76 User manual
18
has developed ratings for some of their mobile 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 have been rated have a label on the box. Your C76
has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity
of your hearing device and the degree of your 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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate
less interference with 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 contain telecoils.) The more immune your hearing aid device is, the
less likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing
aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health-
care professional for the rating of your hearing aid.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results
for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are
to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatible
wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with
disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

C76 User manual

Turn on the HAC Setting
When the HAC setting is on, your C76 sends the audio from your phone calls to the
telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls
much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are
diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece.
Turn off the Bluetooth function. The HAC setting does not affect calls heard on the
speakerphone or with a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your
battery consumption when it's turned on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil.
Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be
harmful to your hearing.
