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.
T o comply with FCC radiation exposure require ments,
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 13.5 mm separation
distance including the antenna and the user’s body.
Other accessories that have not been tested for bodyworn 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
1.31 W/kg. and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.648 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 body-worn measurements were performed on
the following Kyocera accessories:
Holster CV90-B1680
Leather Case CA90-B1691M
Leather Case CA90-B1691S
SAR testing was performed with production battery
CV90-G8196, Model # TXBAT10003.
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-5135. Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (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 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 phone, antenna, and
battery.
Air bags
If you have an air bag, DO NOT place installed or
portable phone equipment or other objects over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment 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 of f 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. Push the battery release button toward the top of
the phone.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer
for service.
Qualified service
If you are experiencing problems with your phone,
see “Getting Help” on page 43. 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.
Accessories
Use only Kyocera-approved accessories w ith 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.

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 pro vider’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 E911 Mandate issued by the FCC.
