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 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 or television
technician for help FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment. 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. Electronic labeling path: Touch Settings > System > Regulatory &

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.
SAR Information
1.18 W/Kg @ 1g (HEAD)
1.18 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: 2ACCJH180 . 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.
68
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. This equipment complies with FCC RF
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) 1. This phone is hearing aid compatible as
determined by ANSI C63.19-2019. 2. This phone has been tested and certified
for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with
hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies,
consult your service provider or phone retailer. 3. The ANSI C63.19-2019
standard does not use the M/T rating system for showing the hearing aid
compatible of the phone that older version of the standard used, instead, the
2019 version of the standard uses the conversational gains for the phone’s
hearing aid compatible capabilities. 4. The volume control performance has
been evaluated according to ANSI C63.19-2019 and waiver DA-23-914. The lowest
conversational gain is 17.34 dB with a hearing aid, and 20.98 dB without a
hearing-aid

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety information
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. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers: Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON. Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket. Should use
the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If
you
have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone
OFF immediately. Hearing aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives. RoHS compliance This product is in compliance with Directive
2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 January 2003, on
