Please read this information before using the phone. Operational Precautions Please use your phone properly. When making or receiving a call, please hold your phone as holding a wireline telephone. Make sure that the phone is at least one inch (about two point five centimeters) 6 from your body when transmitting. Do not touch the antenna when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna area affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed. Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-
light feature on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all products.) Keep the phone out of the reach of small children. The phone may cause injury if used as a toy. Precautions While Driving Please pay attention to the traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations on the use of your phone in the area where you drive. Always obey 7 them. Use hands-free function of the phone, if available. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if conditions require. Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone more than eight inches (about twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker when the phone is switched on. Do not carry the phone in the breast pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. Switch off the phone immediately if necessary. Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may consult your hearing aids manufacturer to discuss alternatives. If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded 8 from RF (radio frequency) energy. In those facilities with special demand, such as hospital or health care facilities, please pay attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone. Switch off your phone if required. Mobile Phone Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the phone manufacturer. Using any unauthorized accessories may affect your mobile phones performance, damage your phone or even cause danger to your body and violate related local regulations about telecom terminals. Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the phone. As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic field, do not place it near magnetic items such as computer disks. 9 Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV, telephone, radio and personal computer can cause interference. Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices. Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone. The phone cannot be used at an altitude higher than 2000 meters. Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. Do not connect the phone with any incompatible enhancement. Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery. Do not store the phone with flammable or explosive articles. Do not charge the mobile phone without battery. Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference sent by phone if inadequately shielded. Please use phone at least 20 cm or as far away as you can from TV set, radio and other automated office equipment so as to avoid electromagnetic interference. 10 Operating phone may interfere with medical devices like hearing aides and pacemakers, or other medical devices in hospital. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device before using phone. Be aware of the usage limitation when using 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 idle state, it still transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Therefore, power off your phone if required. Do not touch the antenna while calling. Otherwise it will affect the quality of calling and waste battery energy. The damaged antenna will cause slight burn while touching your skin. Keep phone out of the reach of small children. Phone may cause injury if used as a toy. Do not put other things on the terminal to avoid overlaying radiator. Keep the antenna free from obstructions and position the antenna straight up. This will ensure best call quality. 11 Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially explosive atmospheres, such as fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Spark in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted Turn off electronic devices. Obey all signs and instructions. Precautions for Electronic Devices Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference sent by mobile phone if inadequately shielded, such as electronic system of vehicles. Please consult the manufacturer of the device before 12 using the phone if necessary. Safety and General Use in Vehicles Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject system shouldnt be affected by wireless transmission. If you do meet problems above, please contact your automobile provider. Do not place your phone in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in the airbag deployment area and the airbag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and the same to the place where the use of two-way radio is prohibited. Aircraft Safety Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane takes off. In order to protect airplanes communication system from interference, it is forbidden to use mobile phone in flight. Safety regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while 13 the plane is on the ground. If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing power-on, please check your alarm setting to make sure that your phone will not be automatically turned on during flight. Battery Use Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat or ignite. Do not store battery in hot areas or throw it into fire. Otherwise, it will cause explosion. Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it will cause liquid leakage, overheating, explosion and ignition of the battery. Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you dont use it for a long period. The battery can be recharged for hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and idle time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one. 14 Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged or show evidence of aging. Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance with environment regulations. Do not dispose of it in household rubbish. Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the phone manufacturer. Using any unauthorized battery may affect your handset performance or may cause danger of explosion, etc. Warning: If the battery is damaged, do not discharge it.

Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 15 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. 16 Health and safety information Radio Frequency (RF) Energy This model phone meets the governments 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 1.6W/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 poser required to 17 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 0.799W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.446 W/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: SRQ-ZTES522 For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the 18 FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.0 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 of 1.0 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
