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 holster (TXLCC10049). Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
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.
User Guide for the Kyocera SE47 phonev
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.
vi
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 this model phone are:
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). The body-worn SAR
values provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp.
(KWC) supplied and approved holster TXLCC10049).
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.
User Guide for the Kyocera SE47 phonevii
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 FCC ID OVFKWC-
SE47. 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.

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
wireles 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.
x
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 (see page 25)
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.
User Guide for the Kyocera SE47 phonexi
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
xii
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 return it to the
dealer for service.
Resetting the phone
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not respond to keypresses,
reset the phone by removing and replacing the battery (see see page 2).

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 -50
to +28 dBm.
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held
wireless phones.
xiv
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.
