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

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 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 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 1.6 W/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.
vi
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 values
for this model phone are:
AMPS modeHead: 1.24 mW/g; Body-worn:
0.250 mW/g with KWC body-worn accessory.
PCS modeHead: 1.24 mW/g; Body-worn:
0.195 mW/g with KWC body-worn accessory.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
User Guide for the Kyocera 2345 phonevii
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 after searching on FCC ID OVFKWC-2345.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) Web site at
http://www.wow-com.com.
* 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.

Caution
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the warranty
and user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Warning
Use only Kyocera approved accessories with Kyocera phones. Use of
any unauthorized accessories (includes faceplates/front housings) may
be dangerous and will invalidate the phone warranty if said accessories
cause damage or a defect to the phone.

area. If equipment is not properly installed, you and your passengers risk
serious injury.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities–Turn your phone off in any facility when posted notices
require you to do so.
Aircraft–FCC regulations prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in
the air. Turn your phone off before boarding aircraft.
Vehicles–RF 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.
Blasting areas–Turn off your phone where blasting is in progress.
Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres–Turn off your phone when you are
in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
x
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.

Radio Frequency (RF) energy
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.
User Guide for the Kyocera 2345 phonexiii
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)
•ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection,
1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the
FCC guidelines.

Charging the battery
Your lithium ion (LiIon) battery is partially charged when you receive your
phone. Fully charge the battery before us ing the phone. You must have at least a
partial charge
in the battery to make or receive calls, regardless of whether
or not the AC adapter is connected to the phone.
Note: You can safely recharge the battery at any time, even when it has a
partial charge.
To charge the battery, connect the AC adapter to the proper jack
on the bottom of the phone (as shown), then connect the
adapter’s plug to a wall outlet.
The screen’s battery icon tells you if the phone is:
• Charging (the icon is animated)
• Partially charged
• Fully charged .
• Low battery . Icon blinks and the phone beeps. The phone screen
displays a “Low Battery” message. When the battery is completely drained,
the phone powers off.
2Getting Started
Removing the battery
1.Turn off the phone.
2.Hold the phone face down.
3.Press down on the latch located on the back of the phone
with your thumb and remove the battery door.
4.Lift the battery out of the phone.
Caring for the battery
This page describes important safety information and tips for improving
battery performance.
General safety guidelines
• Do not take apart, puncture, or short-circuit the battery.
• If you have not used the battery for more than a month, recharge it before
using your phone.
• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high
humidity.
• Never dispose of any battery in or near a fire. It could explode.

Common causes of battery drain
The following functions drain the battery more quickly and adversely affect
talk and standby times:
• You are often playing games or using the Web.
• Backlighting is frequently on.
• The phone is frequently used in analog mode. If you do not see a on the
home screen, the phone is in analog mode. To set your phone to operate in
different modes, select Menu → Settings → Ne twork → Digital or Analog and
choose from the options available.
• You are far away from a base station or cell site when in digital mode.
• Data cables or accessories, such as the Hands-free headset, are
connected to the phone.
• No service is available, or service is available intermittently. The phone
requires more power to acquire service than to maintain consistent service.
• Earpiece and ringer volume settings are high.
• Voicemail notifications, pages, and text messages are not acknowledged
quickly. To use power most efficiently, acknowledge notifications and
messages immediately.
