For Your Safety
General Safety
Don’t make or receive
handheld calls while
driving. And never text
while driving.
Don’t use at petrol
stations.
Keep your phone at
least 15mm away from
your ear or body while
making calls.
Your phone may produce
a bright or flashing light.
Small parts may cause
a choking.
Don’t dispose of your
phone in fire.
Your phone can
produce a loud sound.
Avoid contact with
anything magnetic.
Keep away from
pacemakers and other
electronic medical
devices.
Avoid extreme
temperatures.
Switch off when asked
to in hospitals and
medical facilities.
Avoid contact with
liquids. Keep your phone
dry.
Switch off when told to
in aircrafts and airports.
Don’t take your phone
apart.

11
Switch off when near
explosive materials or
liquids.
Only use approved
accessories.
Don’t rely on your phone for emergency communications.
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 1.6W/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 poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base

12
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.04 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.37 W/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 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-Z990
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.

13
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:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

14
—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.
Your Z990 device 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

15
compatible with their hearing devices. Not
all phones have been rated. Phones that
have been rated have a label on the box.
Your F450 has been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility and has an M3 and/or
T3 rating.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results
will vary, depending on the level of immunity
of your hearing device and the degree of
your hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference,
you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it
for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet
FCC requirements and are likely to generate
less interference with hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.

16
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more
usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than
unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of
the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing
devices contain telecoils.) The more
immune your hearing aid device is, the
less likely you are to experience
interference noise from your wireless
phone.
Hearing devices may also be measured for
immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find
results for your hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC's
actions with regard to hearing aid compatible
wireless devices and other steps the FCC
has taken to ensure that individuals with
disabilities have access to

17
telecommunications services, please go to
www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to
reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving
(even with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to
an accident. You must comply with local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while
driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in
order to reduce the risk of an accident.
