FCC/IC Notice

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.

To comply with FCC radiation exposure requirements, use of this device for
body-worn operational configurations is limited to accessories tested and
approved by Kyocera Wireless Corp. Other accessories used with this device
for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and
must provide at least 22.5 mm separation distance including the antenna and
the user’s body. Other accessories that have not been tested for body-worn
SAR may not comply with FCC radiation exposure limits and should be
avoided.

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (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 standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at 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 of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.40 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.657 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at:
ÜííéWLLïïïKïçïJÅçãKÅçã.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones 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 measurements.

injury.

Potentially unsafe areas

mзлнЙЗ=С~ЕбдбнбЙлУTurn your phone off in any facility when posted notices
require you to do so.

^áêÅê~ÑíÓFCC regulations prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in the air.
Turn your phone off before boarding aircraft.

sЙЬбЕдЙлУRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer of the
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to help you obtain this information.

_д~лнбеЦ=~кЙ~лУTurn off your phone where blasting is in progress. Observe
restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

mзнЙенб~дду=ЙсйдзлбоЙ=~нгзлйЬЙкЙлУTurn off your phone when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury
or death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:

• fueling areas such as gas stations

• below deck on boats

• transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals

• 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

• any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine

Use with care

Use only in normal position (to ear). Don’t bend the antenna or touch it
unnecessarily. Pull out the antenna when on a call and push it in when the
phone is not in use. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.

Keep phone dry

If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately and return it to the
dealer for service.

Resetting the phone

If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not respond to keypresses,
reset the phone by completing the following steps:

1. Remove the battery door.

2. Remove and replace the battery.

If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer for service.

Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives
and sends out RF energy. Your service provider’s network controls the power
of the RF signal. This power level can range from 0.006 to 0.6 watts.

In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones.
These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies in the following reports:

ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)

NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements,

1986)
