ZTE Z796C Manual De Usuario

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 1.6W/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 power 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 values for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on 

the body are:
Head: 1.04 W/kg, Body: 1.18 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/ea/

fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: Q78-Z796C.
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 positions the handset a minimum of 0.6 inches (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 of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from your body when the phone is switched on.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 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.

between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve 

this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless 

devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference 

source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your 

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may 

interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities.  

These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft. If your device offers a 

“flight mode,” this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.

Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers 

forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is 

included in the installation.

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such 

as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical 

transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or 

metal powders.

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted power off  

“two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications 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.

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone 

while driving (even with a hands-free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply 

with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.

Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.

You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use.
You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is 

subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.
