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

58

to use JCB Toughphone while driving, keep in mind the
following guidelines:

• Give full attention to dr iving or riding a nd to

the road. Using a mobi le device w hile dri ving

or riding may be distracting. If you find it
disruptive or distracting while operating any
type of vehicle, r iding a bicycle, or performing
any activity that requires your full attention,
pull off t he road an d 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 ha nds-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.

59

• 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 whi le 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 st ressful o r 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 su bject to change a nd 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

60

incomplete

Do not use location-based applications w hile performing
activities that require your full attention. For important
information about driving safety, see the “Driving and
Riding Safely” section. Always comply w ith 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 se izures (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.

61

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

Repetitive Motion When you perform repet itive activities
such as typing or playing games on JCB Toughphone, you
may experience occasional di scomfort in your hands, arms,
shoulders, neck, or other parts o f 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

62

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

Accessories and W ireless 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 JC B Toughphone
wireless performance. Reorienting or relocating JCB
Toughphone and the connected accessory may improve
wireless performance.

Keeping JCB Toughphone W ithin 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). Low­or high-temperature conditions mi ght 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 funct ions as a cooling surface that

63

transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy JCB Toughphone
contains radio transmitters and receivers. When o n, JCB
Toughphone receives and sends out radio frequency (RF)
energy through its antennas. The JCB Toughphone cellular
antenna is located at t he 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 U nion 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 h olders
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

64

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 pos itions (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, t he 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 Un ion 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

65

JCB Toughphone, since exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance.

Additional Information For more information from the FCC
about exposure to RF energy, see:

Radio Frequency Interference Radio-frequency em issions
from electronic e quipment can negatively affect the
operation of other electronic equipment causing them to
malfunction. Although JCB Toughphone is d esigned, tested,
and manufactured to comply with regulations governing
radio frequency emission in countries s uch as the U nited
States, Canada, the European Union, and Japan, the
wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in JC B
Toughphone may cause interference in other electronic
equipment. Therefore, please take the following
precautions:
