We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your device. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein. · TRAFFIC SAFETY Given that studies show that using a device while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset…), drivers are requested to refrain from using their device when the vehicle is not parked. When driving, do not use your device or headphones to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas. When switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem: – do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within
an airbag deployment area, – check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make
sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded from device RF energy. · CONDITIONS OF USE You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize its performance. Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft. Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, these devices can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.
58

For more information on our Battery Recycling Program, please visit the USA and Canada website at https://www.tcl.com/us/en/mobile/accessibilitycompliance/tcl-mobile-battery- recycling-program.html · Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Declaration of
Conformity This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user`s authority to operate the equipment.
63

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user`s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR): This device 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 United States.
During SAR testing, this is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the separation of 0 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
64

the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The exposure standard for wireless employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 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 www.fcc.gov/ oet/ea/fccid after searching on: FCC ID 2ACCJB210.
Exposure to radio frequency On product, go to Settings > System > About tablet

Legal information > RF Exposure. Or go to https://www.tcl.com/us/en/mobile/accessibilitycompliance/mobile-and-health/ and search for model 9136R.
SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 15 mm between the device and the human body. During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
65

Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 0 mm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body. If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device the indicated distance away from the body. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device.
