For your safety General Care Your handset contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets and battery systems. You should treat it with care and give particular attention to the following points: Do NOT allow the handset, battery or accessories to come into contact with liquids or moisture at any time.
Page 11
The earpiece may become warm during normal use. Also, the handset itself may become warm while the battery is being charged. When a handset is in vibration mode, the vibration may cause the D90 handset to move. Be careful not to place the handset near heat sources (such as a heater) or too close to the edge of the table.
Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations about taking pictures in public or private areas regarding the processing and further use of such pictures. ZTE encourages its customers to obey all laws and to honour the personal rights of others.
Your phone contains metal, which may cause you to develop an itch, rash or eczema depending on your physical condition. Do NOT leave the battery pack empty or disconnected for a long period of time. Otherwise some data may be erased. Aircraft Safety Switch off your phone or activate the airplane mode when inside or near an aircraft.
Third Party Equipment The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by ZTE, may invalidate the warranty of the handset and also adversely affect the handset’s operation. For example, use only the ZTE charger supplied with the handset.
Efficient Use For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, do NOT cover the antenna area (below the mouthpiece of your phone) with your hand. Covering the antenna affects the call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power levels than needed, and may shorten talk and standby times.
