mandatory provisions of the law.
Limitation of Liability
ZTE shall not be liable for any loss of prots or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages resulting from or arising out of or in connection with
using of this product, whether or not ZTE had been advised, knew or should have
known of the possibility of such damages, including, but not limited to lost prots,
interruption of business, cost of capital, cost of substitute facilities or product, or any
downtime cost.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device 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 devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specic 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 device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power
level, the actual SAR level of the device 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 position required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model device as reported to the FCC when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.13 W/kg (Band4) (Body-
worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available
enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on le 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-ZTEMF61.

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 modications 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.
— 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.
