RF Safety Information
The handset has an external antenna located on the top of the handset. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption always extend the antenna fully and do
not cover it 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
THISMODELPHONEMEETSTHEGOVERNMENT’SREQUIREMENTSFOREXPOSURETO
RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. 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
RF Safety Information

6RF Safety Information
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
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
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and loca-
tions (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model.
The highest SAR values, as reported to the FCC for this model phone, when tested for
use at the ear are 0.805W/kg for Cellular 850MHz and 1.360W/kg for PCS 1900MHz. And
when worn on the body, are 0.824W/kg for Cellular 850MHz and 0.449W/kg for PCS
1900MHz. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at

7
various positions, they all meet the government requirement. For body-worn operation,
this model has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with
the ZTE accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions. In all
cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.
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. Additional infor-
mation on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunica-
tions & Internet Association (CTIA) web site: http://www.phonefacts.net or the Canadian
Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) web site: http://www.cwta.ca.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.
6watts/kg (w/kg) average over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-
stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
*UL Certified Travel Adaptor:
The travel adaptor for this phone passed the UL60950, safety requirements. Please
follow the safety guidelines when using the Adaptor.
Liquid Damage - Important Note
The handset has a durable rubber shell but it is NOT waterproof and should not be
immersed in any liquid. The unit contains liquid detecting stickers and liquid damage will
be warranty void. Always close the charger and antenna port covers to maximise
protection against liquid ingress.

1.1 Install the SIM Card
The SIM card (Subscriber Interface Module) is a small plastic chip with gold contacts
supplied by Rogers. This contains your phone number and acts as a store for your
contacts. It can be moved between different phones if required. Insert this face down
into the carrier inside the back panel of the phone. Make sure it is pushed all the way
down as shown below:

1.2 Insert the Battery
Insert the battery carefully with the contacts located against the gold springs in the
handset. The battery will only fit one way.
Close the case by locating the plastic cover into the grooves and sliding the cover up to
close it. Do NOT force the cover down by pressing on it. This will damage the cover.
Slide the cover up gently.
