Using Connectors and Ports
Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the port.
If the connector and port don‘t join with reasonable ease, they probably don‘t match. Make sure that
the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the
port.
Accessories and Wireless Performance
Turning on Airplane Mode on JCB Toughphone may
eliminate audio interference between JCB Toughphone and an accessory. While Airplane mode is on,
you cannot make or receive calls or use features that require wireless communication. Under some
conditions, certain accessories may affect JCB Toughphone wireless performance. 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
