keep the battery discharge away from your eyes
or skin. If the leakage does come into contact
with the eyes or skin, please flush thoroughly in
clean water and consult with a doctor.

Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the
handset. Do not use an ordinary dry cloth or
electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use
chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could
damage the case.

equipment, cables or accessories, not made or
authorized by ZTE, may invalidate the warranty
of your cellphone and also adversely affect the
phone’s safety/operation.
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.
Aircraft Safety
Switch off your phone when inside or near
aircraft. The use of handsets in aircraft is
illegal. It may be dangerous to the operation of
the aircraft and it may disrupt the cellular
network. Failure to observe this instruction
may lead to suspension or denial of cellphone
service to the offender, or legal action, or
both.
Do not use the handset on the ground without
the permission of the ground staff.
Hospital Safety
Switch off your phone and remove its 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.
GeneralSafety
In some countries national law prohibits
private copying of copyrighted material.
Please check the national legislation of the
F866 User Manual I For your safety
For your safety

11
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. ZTE encourages its custom-
ers to obey all laws and to honor the personal
rights of others.
Please check 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
shall be removed.
Observe “Turn off mobile” signs, such as
those near petrol stations, or explosives and
turn off handset/device.
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.
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 Note signs and the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Take care not to put your phone 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.
Your phone contains metal, which may cause
you an itch, a rash or eczema depending on your

F866 UserManual I Foryour safety
For your safety

12
Do not leave the battery pack empty or discon-
nected for a long time, otherwise some data
may be initialized.
Road Safety
You must exercise proper control of your
vehicle at all times. Give your full attention to
driving.
Observe all of the recommendations contained
in your local traffic safety documentation.
Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call, if driving conditions so
require.
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.
Switch off your handset at a refueling point,
such as a petrol station, even if you are not
refueling your own car.
Do not store or carry flammable or explosive
materials in the same compartment as a radio
transmitter.
Electronic vehicle systems, 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
switch on the handset until it has been
checked by qualified approved installers.

Vehicles equipped with an air bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag 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 handset’s operation.
For example, use only the ZTE mains cable
supplied with the AC charger.
Efficient use
The handset has an external antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption,
please do not cover the antenna 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 standby
times.
Radiofrequency energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
energy (radio waves). The system that handles
the call controls the power level at which the
handset transmits.
F866 UserManual I Foryour safety
For your safety

14
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 scientific 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 Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using a standardized method with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various ZTE phone models, they
are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
The SAR limit recommended by the Interna-
tional Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation
Protection( ICNIRP), is 2W/kg averaged over
ten(10) gramme of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested by DASY3 for use at the ear is 1.7 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 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.
F866 User Manual I For your safety

or key to dial the number.
Note:
Tell the operator which service you require: Police,
Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Coastguard or Mountain
Rescue Service. Give your position and, if possible,
remain stationary to maintain contact.
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.

Installing the USIM Card
Your USIM card stores your phone number, service details, phonebook and can store text messages. It
must be inserted into your phone to use these services.
If the USIM card is removed then the handset becomes unusable until a valid USIM is inserted. The holder
for the USIM card is located underneath the battery.
Your USIM card can only be used in handsets that are enabled for 3G services. Any attempt to use the
USIM card in other handsets may prevent you from being able to use it correctly.
Note:
Make sure to disconnect the charger and other accessories from your phone and remove the battery before inserting and
removing your USIM card. Don’t touch the metal surface of the USIM card in case that information in the card may be
lost or destroyed. Do not bend or scratch your USIM card. Keep the card away from electricity and magnetism.
