Reorienting or relocating JCB Toughphone and the connected accessory may
improve wireless performance.
Keeping JCB Toughphone Within Acceptable Temperatures
JCB
Toughphone is designed to be operated in temperatures between 0º and 35º C
(32º to 95º F) and stored in temperatures between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º
F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life
or cause JCB Toughphone to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving JCB
Toughphone in a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause JCB
Toughphone to exceed these storage or operating temperature ranges. Avoid
dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using JCB Toughphone as
condensation may form on or within JCB Toughphone.
When you’re using JCB Toughphone or charging the battery, it is normal for
JCB Toughphone to get warm. The exterior of JCB Toughphone functions as a
cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
JCB Toughphone contains radio
transmitters and receivers. When on, JCB Toughphone receives and sends out
radio frequency (RF) energy through its antennas. The JCB Toughphone
cellular antenna is located at the bottom edge of JCB Toughphone, to the left
of the Home button. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antenna is located at the top
edge of JCB Toughphone, to the right of the headset jack.
For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to
RF energy does not exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines,
always follow these instructions and precautions: When on a call using the
built-in audio receiver in JCB Toughphone, hold JCB Toughphone with the
dock connector pointed down toward your shoulder to increase separation
from the antenna. When using JCB Toughphone near your body for voice calls
or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep JCB
Toughphone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use
carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that
maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between JCB Toughphone and
the body.
JCB Toughphone is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for
exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada, and regulating entities of
Japan, the European Union, and other countries. The exposure standard
employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit applicable to JCB Toughphone set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per
kilogram (W/kg), 1.6 W/kg by Industry Canada, and 2.0 W/kg by the Council of
the European Union. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) specified by these agencies,
with JCB Toughphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level in each frequency band, the actual SAR level of JCB Toughphone
while in operation can be well below the maximum value because JCB
Toughphone adjusts its cellular transmitting power based in part on proximity
