Kyocera K323 User Manual

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Medical devices  
PacemakersWarning 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.  
Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon availability of accessories  
and FCC requirements. 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 Health Industry Manufacturers Association and  
the wireless technology research community  
recommend that you follow these guidelines to  
minimize the potential for interference.  
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  
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.  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-K24B.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet  
Association (CTIA) web-site at  
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.  
* 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.  
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.

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.  
Resetting the phone  
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not  
respond to keypresses, reset the phone by  
completing the following steps:  
Potentially unsafe areas  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
1. Remove the battery door.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer  
for service.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting is  
in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any  
regulations or rules.  
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 0.006  
to 0.6 watts.  
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.  
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  
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  
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)  
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  
Your phone complies with the standards set by these  
reports and the FCC guidelines.  
Use with care  
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,  
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.  
E911 mandates  
Where service is available, this handset complies  
with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates issued  
by the FCC.  
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.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile Phones  
Battery and charger specifications  
Charger Input  
Some mobile phones and hearing devices (hearing  
aids and cochlear implants), when used together,  
result in buzzing, humming, or whining noises  
detected by the user. Some hearing devices are  
more immune than others to this interference noise,  
and phones also vary in the amount of interference  
they generate.  
Output  
CV90-G2968-01 120VAC 60Hz 7W  
CV90-G2588-01 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.2A  
CV90-G2589-01 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.3A  
Standard Battery:  
5.2VDC400mA  
4.2VDC 0.6A  
4.5VDC 1.2A  
The wireless telephone industry has developed  
ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist  
hearing device users in finding phones that may be  
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones  
have been rated. Phones that are rated have the  
rating on their box or a label on the box.  
CV90-P3030-05 3.7V 1000mAh  
Standard Robust Battery:  
CV90-P3031-05 3.7V 900mAh  
Extended Battery:  
The ratings are not guarantees and results will vary  
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing  
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable  
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated  
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your  
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your  
personal needs.

U.S.A.  
M-RatingsPhones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC  
requirements and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than phones that are  
not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
T-RatingsPhones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC  
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a  
hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone  
Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher  
of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices  
have telecoils in them.)  
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity  
to this type of interference. Your hearing device  
manufacturer or hearing health professional may  
help you choose the proper rating for your mobile  
phone. The more immune your hearing aid is, the  
less likely you are to experience interference noise  
from mobile phones.
