This manual is based on the production version of the
Kyocera SE47 phone. Software changes may have
occurred after this printing. Kyocera reserves the right to
make changes in technical and product specifications
without prior notice. The products and equipment
described in this documentation are manufactured
under license from QUALCOMM Incorporated under
one or more of the following U.S. patents:
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

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. 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. The highest
SAR values for this model phone are:
CDMA mode (Part 22)Óhead: 1.22 W/kg, Body-
worn: 0.56 W/kg with KWC holster TXLCC10049;
PCS/CDMA mode (Part 24)Óhead: 0.71 W/kg,
Body-worn: 0.57 W/kg with KWC holster
TXLCC10049.
(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 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.
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.
Warning
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.

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
PacemakersÓWarning 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 aidsÓSome 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 devicesÓIf 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 facilitiesÓTurn 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
