Your telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 850 and1900 MHz bands.The marking indicates that your telephone complies with "1999/5/EC(R&TTE)" directive and that the accessories concerned comply with current ECdirectives. The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformity for your telephonecan be obtained through our website: www.tcl-ta.com.8®T9 Text Input is licensed under one or more of thefollowing: U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,187,480, 5,818,437,5,945,928, 5,953,541, 6,011,554, 6,286,064,6,307,548, 6,307,549, and 6,636,162, 6,646,573;European Pat.

It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are partof comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. Theseguidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the FederalCommunications Commission of the US Government (FCC), the Australian CommunicationsAuthority (ACA) or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmittingat its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level ofthe phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phoneis designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reachthe network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower thepower output of the phone. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is: 1.05 W/kg for use at the earand 0.501 W/kg for use close to the body,While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at variouspositions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-wornoperation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessoriesmay not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does notindicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals areconcerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limitingthe length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head andbody (fact sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields andpublic health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoidtouching it or degrading it.7ELLE is a trademark, owned by Hachette FilipacchiPresse S.A., Paris, France.
