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

iv

(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 CA90-B1799-01 and universal belt clip
55-B1795-01.

Other accessories used with this device for body-worn operations must not
contain any metallic components and must provide at least 22.5 mm separation
distance including the antenna and the user’s body.

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVE RNMENT’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.

User Guide for the Kyocera Rave phone v

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 net work. I n gene ral, th e closer you ar e
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 values for these model phones are:

FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE433 (Phone model: KE433)
PCS mode - Head: 1.30 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.584 mW/g.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon

availability of accessories and FCC requirements. The body-worn SAR values

vi

provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp. [KWC] supplied
and approved case CA90-B1799-01 and universal belt clip 55-B1795-01).

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:

Model: KE433 FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE433
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 3 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.

viii

• 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.

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)

xii

• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection,

1996)

Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the FCC
guidelines.
