thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone
with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and
exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility. Hearing aid compatibility rating for
this smartphone: M4/T4
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not
labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch")
than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note
that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access

SAR Information

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*.
*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.
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: 2ACCJN041. Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web-site as
http://http://www.ctia.org/. 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 1 cm 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.
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 the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment (RoHS) and its amendments.
