Switch off your phone and remove its battery in areas where handset use is
prohibited.
Follow the instructions given by any respective medical facility regarding the use
of cellular handsets on their premises.
General Guidelines
Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations about taking pictures in public or
private areas regarding the processing and further use of such pictures. ZTE
encourages its customers to obey all laws and to honor the personal rights of
others.
Check the roaming agreement availability with your network operator.
The use of mobile phones is not allowed in some radiation sensitive areas, such
as hospitals, research centers, and airplanes. The user is responsible to power-
off the device. If there is any uncertainty, the battery should be removed.

gas stations, or explosives and power off the handset/device upon them.
If you have a heart condition, be careful with the setting of call vibration or tone
volume.
Do not allow children to play with the handset, charger, or batteries.

C77 User Manual
15
The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected if a handset is used next to them. Observe any
Caution signs and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Take care not to put your phone in the back pocket of your pants and then sit on the
phone. Also, do not put your phone at the bottom of a bag where it may be
subject to excessive weight or pressure as this may damage the LCD and cause
them to malfunction.
Your phone contains metal, which may cause you to develop an itch, rash or
eczema depending on your physical condition.
Do not leave the phone discharged or without a battery for a long period of time.
Otherwise some data may be erased.
Road Safety

cellular phones while driving.

C77 User Manual
16
You must not stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call,
except in emergency situations.
Switch off your handset at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you
are not refueling your own car.
Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the handset.

injection systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions. The
manufacturer of such equipment may advise if it is adequately shielded from radio
transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems caused by the radio transmitter in
handset, consult your dealer and do not switch on the handset until your
handset has been checked by a qualified technician.
Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates,
serious injury could result.

C77 User Manual
17
Third Party Equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by
ZTE, may invalidate the warranty of the handset and also adversely affect the
handset’s operation. For example, use only the ZTE charger supplied with the handset.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, do not cover the
antenna area (it is on the bottom of your phone) with your hand. Covering the antenna
affects the call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power levels than
otherwise needed, and may shorten talk and standby times.
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 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its

C77 User Manual
18
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
poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is 1.45 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.723 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 various 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/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: Q78-ZTEC77.
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 the

C77 User Manual
19
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 no t 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.
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.
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 such as medical emergencies.
