PAGE II|FCC/IC NOTICE|USER GUIDE FOR THE KYOCERA JET KX18 PHONE
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.
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.
Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon availability of
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
after searching on the FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX18.
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.
PAGE III|FCC/IC NOTICE|USER GUIDE FOR THE KYOCERA JET KX18 PHONE
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.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to
optimize the performance and life of your phone
and battery.
Air bags
If your vehicle has 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 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 prohibit using your
phone on a plane that is in the air. Turn your
phone off or switch it to Airplane Mode 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.
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.
PAGE IV|CAUTION|USER GUIDE FOR THE KYOCERA JET KX18 PHONE
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.
Accessories
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.
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.

EvDO
EvDO is a standard for wireless broadband
provided by select cell phone carriers in the
United States. EvDO is an acronym for
Evolution Data Only, and enables download
speeds over cell phone networks of up to 2.4Mb
per second. EvDO is considered the first 3G, or
third generation wireless standard to be adopted
within the US.
What this means for phones that have EvDO
capability is that not only will they be used to
make and receive phone calls and text messages,
but also will be used to quickly access
multimedia content, such as streaming or
downloaded audio or video.
