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 JCB Toughphone, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.

Radio Frequency Interference
Radio-frequency emissions from electronic equipment can
negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment causing them to malfunction.
Although JCB Toughphone is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations
governing radio frequency emission in countries such as the United States, Canada, the European
Union, and Japan, the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in JCB Toughphone may cause
interference in other electronic equipment. Therefore, please take the following precautions:
Aircraft
Use of JCB Toughphone may be prohibited while traveling in aircraft. For more
information about using Airplane Mode to turn off the JCB Toughphone wireless transmitters, see
the
JCB Toughphone User Guide
