Limitation of Liability
ZTE shall not be liable for any loss of profits or indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages resulting from or arising out of or in connection with using this product, whether or not
ZTE had been advised, knew or should have known the possibility of such damages. The user should
refer to the enclosed warranty card for full warranty and service information.
Declaration
We, ZTE Corporation, declared that:
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device 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.
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone by yourself. Non-expert handling of the
devices may damage them.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications

4
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or
health. The exposure standard for wireless fixed phoned employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
phone transmitting as 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, the lower the output power.
The Highest SAR Values for this model phone when tested for use on head were 1.43 W/g
NOTE:This equipment 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,

5
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.
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 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.

RF Safety Information
The handset has an internal antenna located at the bottom of the phone. For optimum performance
with minimum power consumption do not cover the antenna area with your hand. Covering the
antenna affects call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and
may shorten talk and idle times.
Radio Frequency Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for best
performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is
only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very low.
Under poor network conditions the phone will transmit at a higher power, may get hot and will have
a significantly shorter battery life.
Declaration of Conformity
We declare under our sole responsibility that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in
combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio
Communications Standard (Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and theAustralian
Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997.
Liquid Damage - Important Note
The handset is compliant with IP54 Standard which gives limited protection against dust and liquid
ingress. It is not waterproof and should not be immersed in any liquid. The handset contains liquid
detecting stickers and any liquid damage will be warranty void. To ensure water resistance the
battery cover, antenna port and USB port covers must be properly closed.

General Safety Information
The handset contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets and battery systems. You should treat it
with care and pay attention to the following points:
•Handle the handset with care. Do not drop or throw the handset down roughly.
•Do not immerse in any liquid. The handset contains a liquid detection sticker and the warranty
will be voided by any liquid damage.
•Do not place the handset near computer disks, credit cards, and other magnetic media. The
information contained on disks or cards may be erased or damaged.
•Do not leave the handset or battery in direct sunlight or near other heat sources where the
temperature could exceed 45 °C.
•Keep the handset, battery, charger and any other accessories away from children.
•In the unlikely event of a battery leak avoid contact with your eyes or skin. In the event of contact
please flush thoroughly with water and consult a doctor.
•Observe and obey warning signs at petrol stations, airports and hospitals.
•The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be
affected by the handset.
•Take care not to allow metal objects such as coins or keys to come into contact with the battery.
•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
•Do not throw used batteries into household rubbish. Return them to a recycling point. (see
Chapter 4)
•Do not connect the handset to any other chargers or cigarette lighter chargers.
•Only use the supplied charger.
•Be careful not to pierce the battery with sharp objects and do not use damaged batteries.
•Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
