Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device
before using the phone.
Be aware of the usage limitation when using a mobile phone at
places such as oil warehouses or chemical factories, where there
are explosive gases or explosive products being processed,
because even if your phone is in standby mode, it still transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy. Therefore, power off your phone if
required.
Pay attention to traffic safety. Do not use your mobile phone while
driving. Park before making or answering a call.
Store the phone out of the reach of little children. The phone may

3
cause injury if used as a toy.
Mobile Phone

accessories may affect your mobile phone’s performance, and
violate related national regulations about telecom terminals, or
even endanger your body.
If you want to clean your phone, please use clean fabric that is a
bit wet or anti-static. Do not use harsh chemical cleaning solvents
or strong detergents to clean it. Turn off your phone before you
clean it.
As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic field, do not
place it near magnetic items such as computer disks.
Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV, telephone,
radio and personal computer can cause interference, which
affects the function of the phone.
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in
hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices.
Prevent liquid from leaking into your phone.
Do not drop, knock or harshly treat your phone. Rough handling

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.

5
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 device 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 device 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 device 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 station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC
when tested for body, as described in this user guide, is 1.22
W/kg for CDMA 850 band.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the

6
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
Q78-ZTEC370.
For body operation, this device has been tested and meets the
FCC RF exposure guidelines for use the positions the device a
minimum of 1.5cm from the body. Use of other enhancements
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Safety and General Using in Vehicles
Before making or answering a call, you should pay attention to
the local laws about using wireless mobile phones and take them
into account in practical use.
Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject system
shouldn’t be affected by wireless transmitting. If you do meet
problems above, please contact your automobile provider.
Please power off your mobile phone when refueling your
automobile, and so do the place where duplex wireless
equipments are banned. Don’t put your phone together with
flammable or explosive items, as inner spark may cause fire.

7
In Aircraft
Follow the restrictions in aircraft. Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
Please power off your mobile phone before taking on till landing. In

flight. Using mobile phone before the plane taking off should get
aircrew’s permission according to safety regulations.
