General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

● To maximize performance, do not touch the portions of your phone where the
internal antennas are located while using the phone.

● Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

● Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time

(such as on the dashboard of a car).

● Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and
can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.

● Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this
document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority
to operate this equipment.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only Kyocera-authorized personnel

should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be
dangerous and void your warranty.

2 Important Safety Information

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection
in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone
for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may
not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or
mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for
details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free
device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden
or when it may cause interference or danger.

Medical Devices

If you have a medical device, including an implantable medical device such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the device
manufacturer’s directions before using this mobile phone.

Persons with implantable medical devices:

● Should always keep the mobile phone more than six (6) inches from the
implantable medical device when the mobile phone is turned ON.

● Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast pocket.

● Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the

potential for interference.

● Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.

Important Safety Information 3

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
signals.

Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission

before using the phone near medical equipment.

Using Your Phone On Airplanes

On airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations and always follow the flight
crew’s instructions concerning the use of your phone.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be
turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.

Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even
death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

● Fueling areas such as gas stations.

● Below deck on boats.

● Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

● 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’s
engine.

4 Important Safety Information

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives

in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or
accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that may increase your
monthly bill.

Waterproof Capability

Your Hydro REACH is waterproof and meets IPX5 and IPX7 standards, immersible
for up to 30 minutes at a depth not exceeding one meter (about 3.28 feet).
Exposing your phone to water outside these limits or not following the precautions
can result in water damage.

To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof capability, the following
precautions must be observed.

● Make sure the back cover is properly sealed by squeezing around the cover.
The charger/USB port and headset jack port do not have covers because they
are waterproof.

● Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other than fresh water or tap
water, such as detergent, beverages, or chlorinated or treated water. Certain
liquids such as salt water and chlorinated water are corrosive over time. Should
your phone be accidentally exposed to other liquids, rinse the phone gently in
clean fresh water.

● Do not expose your phone to water heated in excess of 104° F (40° C).

● Your phone is inoperable under water and should be dried as quickly as

possible when wet.

● Do not use the charger/USB port for charging, data transmission, etc. until the
phone is completely dry.
