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.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at
* 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.
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

optimize the performance and life of your phone
and battery.
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 body-
worn SAR values were obtained by using Kyocera
Wireless Corp. [KWC] supplied and approved
holster CV90-K0100 and case CV90-K0101.
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 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
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.
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.
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.

•
•
•
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.
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
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.
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.
•
•
•
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
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
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.
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.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility
when posted notices require you to do so.
Resetting the phone
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.
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does
not respond to keypresses, reset the phone by
completing the following steps:
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.
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.

iv
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box
or a label on the box. 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.
M-Ratings— Phones 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.
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.
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:
•
ANSI C95.1
T-Ratings— Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or
(American National Standards Institute, 1992)
•
NCRP Report 86
(National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, 1986)
“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.
•
ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by
these reports and the FCC guidelines.
E911 mandates
Where service is available, this handset complies
with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates
issued by the FCC.
For more information about hearing aid
compatibility, visit the FCC's Consumer &
Governmental Affairs Bureau Web site at
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile Phones
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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Rating: M3
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.
