 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 network operator, may 
invalidate the warranty of your handset and also adversely affect the phone‟s safety/operation. 

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 1.6 W/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 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   
1.43W/kg  and  when  worn  on  the  body,  as  described  in  this  user  guide,  is  1.45W/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/fccid 
after searching on   

FCC ID: Q78-ZTEF100 

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 
not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum
