The pictures, symbols and contents in this manual are for reference only. They might not be completely identical with your product. ZTE Corporation operates a policy of continuous development. ZTE Corporation reserves the right to make changes and improvements to the products described in this document without prior notice. Limitation of Liability ZTE shall not be liable for any loss of profits or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from or arising out of or in connection with using this product, whether or not ZTE had been advised, knew or should have known the possibility of such damages. The user should refer to the enclosed warranty card for full warranty and service information. RF Safety Information The router has an internal antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption do not shield the device or cover with any object. Covering the antenna affects signal quality, may cause the router to operate at a higher power level than needed, and may shorten battery life. ... - Page 4 Radio Frequency Energy Your wireless router is a low‐power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very low. Under poor network conditions the router transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life. Declaration of Conformity – Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) We declare that the product detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio Communications Standard (Electro‐magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997. N14945 RoHS Declaration (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) ZTE declares that the Wireless Router is free from hazardous materials and complies with EU directive 2002/95/EC (commonly known as the RoHS Directive) and the amendments. Wi‐Fi Alliance Interoperability Certification The Wireless Router has successfully completed the Wi‐Fi Alliance interoperability testing and is compatible with any wireless device bearing the logo as shown. The model number is MF62. Additional information is available at http://www.wi‐fi.org/certification_programs.php is a registered trademark of SD Card Association. ...
