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, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on the body are:
Head: 1.14 W/kg, Body: 1.19 W/kg

18
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
individual N850 phones and at various positions, they 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/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTEN850
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.

19
FCC Compliance
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.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
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, 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:

20
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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid
Device
Your N850 is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC
information, including the HAC rating of this product, please
refer to www.zteusa-support.com.
When some wireless phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this interference
noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference
they generate. The wireless telephone industry has
developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist
hearing device users in finding phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the
box.
