customers to obey all laws and to respect the personal rights of others.
•Please check roaming agreement availability with your service provider.
•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

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions require so.
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.
•Power off your handset at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you are not refueling
your own car.
•Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as the
handset.
•Electronic systems in vehicle, 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 power on the handset until it has
been checked by a qualified technician.
Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag 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 phone’s safety/operation.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When powered on, it intermittently receives
and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for the
best performance, and automatically reduces in the areas with better reception.
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

T116a User manual

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.
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country:
1. Ensure that your handset is on and in service.
2. Press End 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, for example, 112 (the
international emergency number).
4. Press Send Key to dial the number. Follow instructions received and do not end the call until
told to do so.
When the USIM card is not inserted, press Right Soft Key [SOS] and then enter the official
emergency number for your present location. Press Send Key or OK Key [Call] to dial the
number. If the keypad lock is on, enter the emergency number directly and press Send Key.
Notes:
•Tell the operator which service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Coastguard or
Mountain Rescue Service. Tell them where you are and remain stationary to maintain contact if
possible.
•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.

confidentiality of the subjects. The user therefore is held to respect legislation in confidentiality
matter and remains the only responsible subject in case of eventual violations of the enforced
