Important Note
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users
must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To maintain compliance
with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, please follow operation instruction as documented in this
manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except
the transmitters built-in with the device.
US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”)
Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices
that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that
are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your
hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.
Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the
best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that
the smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been
tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your smartphone thoroughly and in
different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing
aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for
information about hearing aid compatibility.
Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M3/T3
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M3 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated wireless devices. T3 is the better or
higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune
your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access

SAR Information
0.73 W/kg @ 1g (HEAD)
0.86 W/kg @ 1g (BODY)
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. For
body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with
the TCL Mobile Limited. Accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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 U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992 .
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phone employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.
cfm after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJH131. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web-site as http://http://www.ctia.org/.
*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in usage.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile
radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety
of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna
during operation of the equipment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 15 mm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the
antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any
metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your
local dealer for replacement antenna.
