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.
Third Party Equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by ZTE, may invalidate
the warranty of your handset and also adversely affect the phone’s safety/operation.
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 1.6 W/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 a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is
0.848W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.819W/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

D300 User Manual
4 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
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-ZTECD300.
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 that 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 not 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 that your handset is on and in service.
2. Tab Home Key as many times as needed to go back to Home screen.
3. Tab the Dialer.
4. Enter the official emergency number for your present location, for example, 112 (the international
emergency number).
5. Tab to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do not end the call until told to do so.
Notes:
•Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Coastguard or Mountain
Rescue Service. Tell them where you are and remain stationary to maintain contact if possible.
•Due to the nature of the cellular system, the connection of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed. You
should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.
