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 Commiss ion of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and estab lish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guideline s are based on
standards that were develop ed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards in clude a subst antial
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 spec ified by the FCC with the ph one
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
FCC/IC Notice
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 mode-head: 1.27 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.441 mW/g
with KWC leather case CA90-61068.
PCS mode-head: 1.19 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.222 mW/g with
KWC universal belt clip 50-61083-01.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon availability of accessories and FCC
requirements. The body-worn SAR values provided above
were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC)
supplied and approved leather case CA90-61068 and
universal belt clip 50-61083-01. The Sports Clip is not
designed to be a body-worn accessory).
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 after searching on FCC ID
OVFKWC-3245. 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 modif ications 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.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to optimize the
performance and life of your phon e, antenna, and battery.
Air bags
If you have an air bag, DO NOT place installed or portable
phone equipment or other obj ects over the air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. If equipme nt is not properly
installed, you and your passengers risk serious injury.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers: wireless
phones, when in the ‘on’ positi on, have been shown to
interfere with pacemakers. The phone should be kept at
least six (6) inches away from t he pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the
wireless technology research community recommend that
you follow these guidelines to minimize the potential for
interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches
(15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker when the
phone is turn ed on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service provider or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices—If you use any other personal
medical device, consult 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.
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in health care
facilities when instructed. Hospitals and health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities–Turn your phone off in any facility when
posted notices require you to do so.
Aircraft–FCC regulations p rohibit usin g your phone on a
plane that is in the air. Turn your phone off before
boarding air craft.
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 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). Avoid dropping,
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Keep phone dry
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately and
contact your dealer. Water damage may not be covered
under warranty.
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.
If you are experiencing problems with your phone, see
“Getting Help” on page 68. If you have additional
questions, contact your service provider for technical
support. If the problem persists, return the phone with all
accessories and packaging to the dealer for qualified
service.

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. 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.
E911 Mandates
Where service is available, this handset complies with the
Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates issued by the FCC.
