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 to the wireless network.
In general, the closer you are to a cellular base station, the
lower the cellular transmitting power level.
JCB Toughphone has been tested and meets the FCC, IC, and
European Union RF exposure guidelines for cellular, Wi-Fi,
and Bluetooth operation
JCB Toughphone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC
exposure guidelines for body-worn operation if positioned
less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body (e.g., when
carrying JCB Toughphone in your pocket).
If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you
can further limit your exposure by limiting the amount of
time using JCB Toughphone, since time is a factor in how
much exposure a person receives, and by using a hands-free
device and placing more distance between your body and
