Safety in aircraft
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation system and its
communications network, using this device’s phone function on board an airplane is against the law
in most countries. If you want to use this device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your
phone by switching to Airplane Mode.
Environment restrictions
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fueling areas, fuel storehouses, below
deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable materials exist, the
product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations and are
reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical
plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a
phone while driving (even with a hands-free kit) may cause distraction and can lead to an accident.
You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound
speakers, TV and radio.
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any
metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in
most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Nonionizing radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position
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.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair
call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the
recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in
your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position.
Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes
the antenna performance and the battery life.

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: 2ACCJH170. Additional
information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) Website as 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.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This transmitter has been demonstrated co-location compliance requirements with Bluetooth®
and WLAN. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
