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
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.
Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of
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
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.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX13.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at
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.
* 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.
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.
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.
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.

iii
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.
Air bags
If you have 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.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility
when posted notices require you to do so.
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.
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 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.
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.
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
•
•
•
Do not carry your phone near your heart.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn off your
phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn off your phone
immediately.
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.
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.
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
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.
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
iv
Use with care
Radio Frequency (RF) energy
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
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.
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.
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:
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.
•
ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards
Institute, 1992)
2. Remove and replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the
dealer for service.
•
NCRP Report 86 (National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements,
1986)
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.
•
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by
these reports and the FCC guidelines.

Speed dialing
Setting up voicemail
Before you can use speed dialing, you must save a
phone number as a contact and assign it a speed
dial location.
Before your phone can receive voicemail messages,
you must set up a password and record a personal
greeting with your service provider. All unanswered
calls to your phone are then automatically
transferred to voicemail, even if your phone is in
use or turned off.
