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 (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 TXLCC10042B and universal belt clip  
TXLCC10047B.  
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 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  
vi  
 
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.  
User Guide for the Kyocera Energie K490 Phone

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-K493 (Phone model: K493)  
PCS/CDMA mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.17 W/kg;  
Body-worn: 0.42 W/kg.  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-K4X4 (Phone model: K494)  
AMPS/CDMA modes (Part 22) - Head: 1.37 W/kg;  
Body-worn: 0.66 W/kg.  
PCS/CDMA mode(Part 24) - Head: 1.36 W/kg;  
Body-worn: 0.47 W/kg.  
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon  
availability of accessories and FCC requirements. The body-worn SAR  
values provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp.  
viii  
 
[KWC] supplied and approved case TXLCC10042B and universal belt clip  
TXLCC10047B).  
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: K493 FCC ID: OVFKWC-K493  
Model: K494 FCC ID: OVFKWC-K4X4  
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.
