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
.
Vehicles
Radio frequency emissions from JCB Toughphone may affect electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation
of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers:
Should
always
keep JCB Toughphone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from the
pacemaker when the phone is turned on
