Kyocera Cell Phone KX444 User Manual

 
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.  
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-KX444. Additional information on SAR can  
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications and  
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://  
* 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.  
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) approved case  
CA90-B1860-01 or holster 55-B1795-02.  
Other accessories used with this device for body-  
worn operations must not contain any metallic  
components and must provide at least 25 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 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.  
Caution  
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  
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.

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.  
Push to Talk feature  
When using your phone as a walkie-talkie radio, hold  
the phone a minimum separation distance of one inch  
(2.5 cm) between your face and the device, including  
the antenna, to comply with FCC exposure limits.  
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 (page 12) 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.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
Use the guidelines on page 1 to learn how to optimize  
the performance and life of your phone, antenna, 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.  
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.
