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 comply with FCC radiation exposure requirements, use
of this device for body-worn operational configurations is
limited to accessories tested and approved by Kyocera
Wireless Corp. Other accessories used with this device for
body-worn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least 13.5 mm separation
distance including the antenna and the user’s body. Other
accessories that have not been tested for body-worn SAR
may not comply with FCC radiation exposure limits and
should be avoided.
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 radiofrequency (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
1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the ph one
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. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.31 W/kg. and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.648 W/kg. (Body-worn
measuremen ts differ among phone models, dependin g
upon available 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 body-worn m easurements were performed on the
following Kyocera accessories:
Holster CV90-B1680
Leather Case CA90-B1691M
Leather Case CA90-B1691S
SAR testing was performed with production battery CV90G8196, Model # TXBAT10003.
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
OVFKWC-5135. Additional information on Specific
after searching on FCC ID
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) website 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.
Warni ng
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.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to optimize the
performance and life of your phone, antenna, 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 o r in
the air bag deployment area. If equipment is not properly
installed, you and your passengers risk serious injury.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities–Turn your phone off in any facility when
posted notices require you to do so.
Aircraft–FCC regulations p rohibit usin g your phone on a
plane that is in the air. Turn your phone off before
boarding air craft.
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 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). Don’t bend the
antenna or touch it unnecessarily. Pull out the antenna
when on a call and push it in when the phone is not in use.
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. Push the battery release button toward the top of the
phone.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer for
service.
Qualified service
If you are experiencing problems with your phone, see
“Getting Help” on page 51. If you have additional
questions, contact your service provider for technical
support. If the problem persists, return the phone with all
accessories and packaging to the dealer for qualified
service.
Accessories
Use only Kyocera-approved accessories with Kyocera
phones. Use of any unauthorized accessories (includes
faceplates/front housings) 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.
