ammonia, or abrasives to clean JCB Toughphone. The front screen surfaces
have an oleophobic coating. To remove fingerprints, simply wipe these
surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. The ability of this coating to repel oil will
diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive
material will further diminish its effect and may scratch the glass.

Dust and Water The JCB Toughphone in fully tested to meet either IP54 or
IP57 specifications (depending on the model). It is very important to note that
all of the Toughphone connectors, covers and battery compartment must be
correctly fastened and have the correct 0-rings fitted to meet the waterproof
and dust specifications Failure to ensure all connector, covers, battery
compartment and O rings are correctly fitted will invalidate the warranty. In
case JCB Toughphone gets wet turn off JCB Toughphone before cleaning, and
allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry JCB
Toughphone with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair
dryer.

Repairing or Modifying JCB Toughphone Never attempt to repair or modify
JCB Toughphone yourself. JCB Toughphone does not contain any
user-serviceable parts, except for the SIM card , Battery and Battery
Compartment. Disassembling JCB Toughphone, including the removal of
external screws and back cover, may cause damage that is not covered under
the warranty. Service should only be provided by a JCB Authorized Service
Provider. If you have questions, a JCB Toughphone Authorized Service
Provider.

Charging JCB Toughphone To charge JCB Toughphone, only use the JCB
Toughphone Connector to USB Cable or a high-power USB port on another
device that is compliant with the USB 2.0 or 1.1 standard, or another JCB
Toughphone -branded product or accessory designed to work with JCB

 You want to clean the adapter.

Avoiding Hearing Damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver,
earbuds, headphones, speakerphone, or earpieces are used at high volume.
Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of
sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you
experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:

 Limit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones,

speakerphone, or earpieces at high volume.

 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on JCB
Toughphone,
see the JCB Toughphone User Guide.

Emergency Calls You should not rely on wireless devices for essential
communications, such as medical emergencies. Use of JCB Toughphone to
call emergency services may not work in all locations or all operating
conditions. Emergency numbers and services vary by region, and sometimes
an emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability or
environmental interference. Some cellular networks may not accept an
emergency call from JCB Toughphone if it does not have a SIM, if the SIM is
PIN-locked, or if you have not activated your JCB Toughphone.

Driving and Riding Safely Use of JCB Toughphone alone or with
headphones (even if used only in one ear) while driving a vehicle or riding a
bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the
laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like JCB Toughphone in the
areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding a
bicycle. If you decide to use JCB Toughphone while driving, keep in mind the
following guidelines:

 Give full attention to driving or riding and to the road. Using a

mobile device while driving or riding may be distracting. If you find it
disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, riding a
bicycle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention, pull
off the road and park before making or answering a call.

 Get to know JCB Toughphone and its features such as Voice

Control, Favourites, Recent, and Speaker. These features help you

to place your call without taking your attention off the road. See the JCB
Toughphone User Guide for more information.

 Use a hands-free device. Take advantage of one of the many

compatible hands-free accessories available for use with JCB
Toughphone. Use of a hands-free device may be required in some
areas.

 Position JCB Toughphone within easy reach. Keep your eyes on the

road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your
voicemail answer it for you.

 Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. Assess the traffic

before dialing, or place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic.

 Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. If

necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Driving in rain, sleet, snow, ice, fog, and even heavy traffic
can be hazardous.

 Do not text, email, take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform

any other activities that require your attention while driving.

Composing or reading texts and emails, jotting down a to-do list, or
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.

 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that

may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are

driving
and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.

Navigating Safely Do not rely on JCB Toughphone applications that provide
maps, digital compass headings, orientation information, directions, or
location-based navigation to determine precise locations, proximity, orientation,
distance, or direction. These applications should only be used for basic
navigation assistance. Maps, directions, and location-based applications
depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may
not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, digital compass
headings, directions or location-based information that may be unavailable,
inaccurate, or incomplete
Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that require
your full attention. For important information about driving safety, see the

―Driving and Riding Safely‖ section. Always comply with posted signs and the

laws and regulations in the areas where you are using JCB Toughphone.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag An air bag inflates with great force.
Do not store JCB Toughphone or any of its accessories in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area.

Seizures, Blackouts, and Eyestrain A small percentage of people may be
susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before)
when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games
or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a
family history of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before
playing games (if available) or watching videos
on your JCB Toughphone. Discontinue use of JCB Toughphone and consult a
physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or
muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To
reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged
use, hold JCB Toughphone some distance from your eyes, use JCB
Toughphone in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.

Choking Hazards JCB Toughphone contains small parts, which may present
a choking hazard to small children. Keep JCB Toughphone and its accessories
away from small children.

Repetitive Motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or
playing games on JCB Toughphone, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.
Take frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or after such use, stop
use and see a physician.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off JCB Toughphone when in any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not charge JCB Toughphone,
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gas
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.

Using Connectors and Ports Never force a connector into a port. Check for

obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable

ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the
port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Accessories and Wireless Performance Turning on Airplane Mode on JCB
Toughphone may eliminate audio interference between JCB Toughphone and
an accessory. While Airplane mode is on, you cannot make or receive calls or
use features that require wireless communication. Under some conditions,
certain accessories may affect JCB Toughphone wireless performance.

Reorienting or relocating JCB Toughphone and the connected accessory may
improve wireless performance.

Keeping JCB Toughphone Within Acceptable Temperatures JCB
Toughphone is designed to be operated in temperatures between 0º and 35º C
(32º to 95º F) and stored in temperatures between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º
F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life
or cause JCB Toughphone to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving JCB
Toughphone in a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause JCB
Toughphone to exceed these storage or operating temperature ranges. Avoid
dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using JCB Toughphone as
condensation may form on or within JCB Toughphone.
When you’re using JCB Toughphone or charging the battery, it is normal for
JCB Toughphone to get warm. The exterior of JCB Toughphone functions as a
cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy JCB Toughphone contains radio
transmitters and receivers. When on, JCB Toughphone receives and sends out
radio frequency (RF) energy through its antennas. The JCB Toughphone
cellular antenna is located at the bottom edge of JCB Toughphone, to the left
of the Home button. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antenna is located at the top
edge of JCB Toughphone, to the right of the headset jack.
For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to
RF energy does not exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines,
always follow these instructions and precautions: When on a call using the
built-in audio receiver in JCB Toughphone, hold JCB Toughphone with the
dock connector pointed down toward your shoulder to increase separation
from the antenna. When using JCB Toughphone near your body for voice calls
or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep JCB
Toughphone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use
carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that
maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between JCB Toughphone and
the body.
JCB Toughphone is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for
exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada, and regulating entities of
Japan, the European Union, and other countries. The exposure standard
employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit applicable to JCB Toughphone set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per
kilogram (W/kg), 1.6 W/kg by Industry Canada, and 2.0 W/kg by the Council of
the European Union. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) specified by these agencies,
with JCB Toughphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level in each frequency band, the actual 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.
Additional Information For more information from the FCC about exposure to
RF energy, see: www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety The FCC and the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) also maintain a consumer website at
www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProce
