may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe this
instruction may lead to suspension or denial of phone service to the offender, or legal action, or both.
Airplane mode allows you to use many of your phone’s features, such as games, calculator, voice memos, and
many others when you are in an airplane or other area where wireless signals may cause interference. In the
airplane mode, you are prohibited from making or receiving voice/data calls, however you may still attempt calls to
your local emergency number.
Hospital Safety
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.

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.
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 camera lens 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

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions require so. Check if local laws
and/or regulations restrict the use of cellular phones while driving.
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 refuelling point, such as a gas station, even if you are not refuelling your own car.
Do NOT store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as the handset.
For your safety

Electronic systems in vehicle, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel 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 Air Bag
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.
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’s 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 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 trans-
mits Radio Frequency (RF) energy in radio waves to handle and control the power level at which the handset
transmits.
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.
When the dial lock function is on, press the Right soft key and then enter a local emergency number. Press the Send
key or OK key to dial the number.
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.
