The exposure standard for cellphones 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), the Australian Communications
Authority (ACA) 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 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 of the
phone. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations
and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.843 W/Kg for One
Touch 155a - 0.699 W/kg for One Touch 156a and for use close to the body is 0.659 W/Kg for One
Touch 155a - 0.743 W/kg for One Touch 156a.While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF
exposure. For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that
it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1,5 cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned, they
might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body (fact sheet n°193).

following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid
touching it or degrading it.

BATTERY:
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off.
Take precautions with the battery and do not attempt to open the battery (chemical substances
may cause burns).
Do not pierce, disassemble nor cause a short-circuit in a battery.
Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household waste or store it at temperatures above
60 °C.
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental legislation.
Batteries should not be used for any other purpose than the one intended.
Never use damaged batteries or not recommended by TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phone Limited and/or
its affiliates.

RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your cellphone 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.
