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
CV90-G2573-01 and holster CV90-G2958-01.

Other accessories used with this device for body­worn 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 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

on the FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX18.

after searching

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 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.

PAGE iii 

• 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.

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 petrole um 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 norm ally 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.
