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, approved leather case CV90-K0511-01 and
belt clip CV90-K0518-01.
Other accessories used with this device for body-worn
operations must not contain any metallic components
and must provide at least 25 mm separation distance
including the antenna and the user’s body.
THIS MO DEL PHONE MEETS THE GO VERNMENT’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.
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-KX13.
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 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.
User Guide for the Ky ocera Dorado Phoneiii
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 in structed. Hospitals and health
care facilities may be u sing equipment that is sensitive
to external RF energy.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn you r 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. Your physician may be able to help you obtain
this information.
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 in structions. 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
iv
• 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 in validate the phon e 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.
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 NonIonizing Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by these
reports and the FCC guidelines.
