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. FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available. RF exposure information (SAR) This product 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 United States. The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528. This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly contacted to the body. For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 0.485W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various products and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements. Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE) THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENTS REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government
(FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at itshighest 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 of the device. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model device when tested is 1.08 W/Kg for use close to the body. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various device and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the device meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of device. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their childrens RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using hands-free devices to keep device away from the head and body. Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. Your device is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it. As these devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with headset or usb data cable. If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device at least 10 mm away from the body. 12 MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY TCL Communication Ltd. warrants to the original retail purchaser of this wireless device that should this product or part thereof during normal consumer usage and condition be proven to be defective in material or workmanship that results in product failure within the first twelve (12) months from the date of purchase as shown on your original sales receipt from an authorized sales agent.
