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 comply with FCC radiation exposure requirements, use of this device for  
body-worn operational configurations is limited to accessories tested and  
approved by Kyocera Wireless Corp. 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. Other accessories that have not been tested for body-worn  
SAR may not comply with FCC radiation exposure limits and should be  
avoided.  
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  
radiofrequency (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.  
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 1.6W/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.  
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 value for this model phone when  
tested for use at the ear is 1.40 W/kg and when worn on the body, as  
described in this user guide, is 0.657 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ  
among phone models, depending upon available 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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid  
after searching on FCC ID OVFKWC 2235. 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. 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.  
Warning  
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.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
Use the guidelines on see page 3 to learn how to optimize the performance  
and life of your phone, antenna, and battery.  
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.  
Aircraft–FCC regulations prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in the  
air. Turn your phone off 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.  
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.  
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  
• 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). Don’t bend the antenna or touch it  
unnecessarily. Pull out the antenna when on a call and push it in when the  
phone is not in use. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.  
Keep phone dry  
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately and return it to the  
dealer for service.  
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.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer for service.  
Qualified service  
If you are experiencing problems with your phone, see “Getting Help” on  
page 109. If you have additional questions, contact your service provider for  
technical support. If the problem persists, return the phone with all  
accessories and packaging to the dealer for qualified service.  
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.

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 (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)  
Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the FCC  
guidelines.

Common causes of battery drain  
The following functions drain the battery more quickly and adversely affect  
talk and standby times:  
• You are often playing games or using the Web.  
• Backlighting is frequently on. (To adjust backlighting, see page 72.)  
• The phone is frequently used in analog mode. If you do not see a on  
the home screen, the phone is in analog mode. To set your phone to  
operate in different modes, select Menu Settings Network →  
Digital or Analog and choose from the options available.  
• You are far away from a base station or cell site when in digital mode.  
• Data cables or accessories, such as the Hands-free headset, are connected  
to the phone.  
• No service is available, or service is available intermittently. The phone  
requires more power to acquire service than to maintain consistent  
service.  
4
Getting Started  
• The earpiece and ringer volume settings are high. To adjust volume, see  
page 65.
