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 maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC) supplied
and approved case CA90-G2603-01 and universal belt clip 55-B1795-01.
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.
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
User Guide for the Kyocera Blade phone v
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 S pecific 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 t o 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 these model phones are:
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4 (Phone Model KE424C)
Head: 1.46 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.524 mW/g.
User Guide for the Kyocera Blade phone vii
(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 case CA90-G2603-01 and universal belt
clip 55-B1795-01).
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 the FCC ID:
Model: KE423 FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE423
Model: KE424 FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://
www.wow-com.com.
viii
* 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 Wireless Corp. approved accessories with Kyocera Wirelss
Corp. phones. Use of any unauthorized accessories (includes faceplates/front
housings) may be dangerous and may invalidate the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.

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.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers: Wireless phones, when in the ‘on’
position, have been shown to interfere with pacemakers. The phone should be kept
at least six (6) inches away from the 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 turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspe ct that interference is taking place, tu rn
off your phone immediately.
x
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.
