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-G2573-02,
premium case CV90-G2989-02 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.

ii

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
searching on the FCC ID:

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.

User Guide for the Slider Jet Phone iii

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 shiel ded
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 w ith 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 expl osive 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 potentiall y 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.

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.

iv

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 hand­held 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.

a month, recharge it before using your phone.

• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme
temperatures, direct sunlight, or
high humidity.

• Never dispose of any battery in or near a fire.
It could explode.

Common causes of battery drain

• Playing games or using the Web.

• Playing music files.

• Taking pictures and videos with the flash on.

• Keeping backlighting on.

• Operating in digital mode when far away from
a base station or cell site.

• Using data cables or accessories.

• Operating when no service is available, or
service is available intermittently.

• High earpiece and ringer volume settings.

• Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted alerts.

1xEV-DO

1xEV-DO is a standard for wireless broadband
provided by select cell phone carriers.

1xEV-DO is an acronym for Evolution Data Only,
and enables download speeds over cell phone
networks of up to 2.4Mb per second. 1xEV-DO is
considered the first 3G, or third generation
wireless standard to be adopted within the US.

What this means for phones that have 1xEV-DO
capability is that not only will they be used to
make and receive phone calls and text messages,
but also will be used to quickly access multimedia
content, such as streaming or downloaded audio
or video.
