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.
Page 3
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 ph one is design ed 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 at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the
FCC ID: OVFKWC-S6000-150.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association
(CTIA) web-site at
* 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.
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 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 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 equ ipment 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.
iv
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.
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.
Page 5
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 reinstall the battery
(see “Installing the battery” on page 1).
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 invalid ate the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
To shop online for phone accessories, visit
www.kyocera-wireless.com/store.
To order by phone, call 800-349-4188 (U.S.A. only) or
858-882-1410.
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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile Phones
Some mobile phones and hearing devices (hearing aids
and cochlear implants), when used together, result in
buzzing, humming, or whining noises detected by the
user. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in
the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings
for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device
users in finding phones that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a
label on the box. The ratings are not guarantees, and
results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device
and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a
rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings— Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4
is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings— Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s
telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated
phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note
that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to
this type of interference. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help
you choose the proper rating for your mobile phone. Th e
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are
to experience interference noise from mobile phones.
For more information about hearing aid compatibility, visit
the FCC's Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Web site at
www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
