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 CV90M2402-01, CV90-M2403-01, holster CV90-M228801, universal pouch CV90-61344-03, and CV90M250X-01. Other accessories used with this device for bodyworn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 15 mm separation distance including the antenna and the user’s body.

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 pow er levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. I n 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 rep orted 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-K24B. 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.

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 in terference.

• 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.

User Guide for the Ky ocera K342 Phone iii

In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in h ealth

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 ener gy.

Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting is

in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

Potentially explosive at mospheres—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 con tains 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 recei ves 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 han d-held wireless ph ones. 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.

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 telephon e 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.

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. The 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. Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) rating: M3
