substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX21 (for Kyocera K612) or
OVFKWC-KX21-2X0 (for Kyocera K612b)
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.*
Additional information on SAR can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications and
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at
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.
* 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.
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.
Caution
The user is cautioned that changes or
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.
modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the warranty
and user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
User Guide for the Strobe Phone
iii
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
and the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
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.
•
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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include:
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn off your phone
immediately.
•
•
•
fueling areas such as gas stations
below deck on boats
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.
transfer or storage facilities for fuel or
chemicals
•
•
•
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as
propane or butane
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.
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
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.
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Keep phone dry
Potentially unsafe areas
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off
immediately and contact your dealer. Water
damage may not be covered under warranty.
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 before boarding aircraft.
Resetting the phone
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.
1. Remove the battery door.
2. Remove and replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the
dealer for service.

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

GETTING STARTED
Installing the battery
Charging the battery
You must have at least a partial charge in the
battery to make or receive calls.
Your Strobe phone comes with a removable
lithium ion (LI Ion) battery. Fully charge the
battery before using the phone.
To charge the battery:
To install the battery:
1. Connect the AC adapter to
the jack on the bottom of
the phone. Do not force
the AC adapter into the
jack. Make sure the
arrow is face up as

2. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
3. Place the battery in the
phone casing with the
metal contacts of the
battery touching the
metal contacts of the
phone.
The battery icon in the upper-right corner of the
screen tells you whether the phone is:

4. Replace the back panel
by sliding the notches
into the openings on the
left side.
Note: The battery will not charge if you use the
phone while it is connected to an AC adapter.
Note: You must use a Kyocera-authenticated
battery in your phone. If you attempt to use a
battery that has not been authenticated you will
receive a security warning.
5. Snap the back panel
into place.
Contact your service provider to obtain a
Kyocera-authenticated battery.

MAKING AND ANSWERING CALLS
Answering a call
Phone calls
When a call comes in, the phone rings, vibrates,
or lights up, and an animated icon appears.
The phone number of the caller also appears if it
is not restricted. If the number is stored in your
Contacts directory, the contact name appears.
Making a call
Make sure you are in an area where a signal
can be received. Look for the
symbol on the
home screen. The more bars you see in this
symbol, the stronger the signal. If there are no
bars, move to where the signal strength is better.
When the phone has been idle for a time, it
changes to power save mode. When you see your
phone’s screen dim, press any key to return to
normal operating mode. The following
instructions apply to either the number keypad
