• The earpiece may become warm during normal use. Also,
the handset itself may become warm while the battery is
being charged.
• When a handset is in vibration mode, the vibration can
sometimes cause the handset to move.

10
• Be careful not to place the handset near heat sources
(such as a heater) or too close to the edge of the table.
• Power off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp
or anti-static cloth to clean the handset. Do not use
an ordinary dry cloth or electrostatic cloth. Do not use
chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the
casing.
• Remember to make backup copies of all important data
on your handset.
• Remember to recycle: the cardboard packing supplied
with this handset is ideal for recycling.
Warning:
In the unlikely event of a battery leak, take care to keep the
battery discharge away from your eyes or skin. If the leakage
does come into contact with the eyes or skin, please ush
thoroughly in clean water and consult with a doctor.
Aircraft Safety
• Power off your phone before the airplane takes off. In
order to protect airplane’s communication system from
interference, it is prohibited to use mobile phone in ight.
If you want to use mobile phone before the airplane takes
off, you should get aircrew’s permission according to
safety regulations.
• If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing
power-on, please check your alarm setting to ensure that

11
your phone will not be automatically powered on during
the ight.
Hospital Safety
• Power off your phone and remove the battery in areas
where the use of handsets is prohibited.
• Follow the instructions given by the respective medical
facility regarding the use of handsets on their premises.
General Guidelines
• In some countries, national law prohibits private copying
of copyrighted material. Please check the national
legislation of the applicable country concerning the use of
such material.
• Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations about
taking pictures in public or private areas and regarding
the processing and further use of such pictures. The
manufacturer encourages its customers to obey all laws
and to respect the personal rights of others.
• Please check roaming agreement availability with your
service provider.
• 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, you should remove the battery
from the handset.

12
• Observe any signs that indicate powering off handsets,
such as those near gas stations, or explosives, and
power off the handset/device immediately.
• If you have a heart condition, be careful with the settings
of call vibration or tone volume.
• Do not allow children to play with the handset, charger or
batteries.
• Do not use the handset where blasting is in progress.
• Do not try to make a call or conversation while the
temperature of charging battery is above 50°C.
• Take care not to put your handset in the back pocket of
your trousers or skirt and then sit on it. Also, do not put
your phone at the bottom of bag where it may subject to
excessive weight or pressure. Doing so may damage the
LCD and camera lens and cause them malfunction.
• 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.
• Do not leave the handset discharged or without a battery
for a long time, otherwise some data may be erased.
• Your phone contains metal, which may cause you an itch,
a rash or eczema depending on your physical condition.
Road Safety
• You must exercise proper control of your vehicle at all
times. Give your full attention to driving.

13
• Observe all of the recommendations contained in your
local trafc safety documentation.
• 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 handsets while
driving.
• You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway
to answer or make a call, except in an emergency.
• Power 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 ammable or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the handset.
• 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 can advise if it is adequately shielded
from radio transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems
caused by radio transmissions, consult your dealer and
do not power on the handset until it has been checked by
a qualied 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 inates, serious injury could result.

14
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
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver.
When powered on, it intermittently receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit
power level is optimized for the best performance, and
automatically reduces in the areas with better reception.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
information:
• The handset is designed to comply with safely,
requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientic 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 Specic Absorption Rate, or
SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized
method with the phone transmitting at its highest certied
power level in all used frequency bands.

15
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various network operator phone models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.
• The SAR limit recommended by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams of
tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested
for use at the ear is 0.953 W/kg (10g).
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country:
1. Ensure that your handset is on and in service.
2. Press End Key as many times as needed to clear the
display and ready the device for calls.
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present
location, for example, 112 (the international emergency
number).
4. Press Send Key to dial the number. Follow instructions
received and do not end the call until told to do so.
When the USIM card is not inserted, press Right Soft Key
[SOS] and then enter the ofcial emergency number for your
present location. Press Send Key or OK Key [Call] to dial
the number. If the keypad lock is on, enter the emergency

16
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.
Information on Privacy
Camera usage and photo/audio/video recordings carried
out with the handset can offend the confidentiality of the
subjects. The user therefore is held to respect legislation
in confidentiality matter and remains the only responsible
subject in case of eventual violations of the enforced norm.
