There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
●To maximize performance, do not touch the portions of
your phone where the internal antennas are located
while using the phone.
●Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
●Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).
●Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece
of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,
bending, or sitting on it.
20 Important Safety Information
●Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly
approved in this document could void your warranty for this
equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Kyocera-authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories.
Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and
Access to Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency
Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency
calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when
certain network services or mobile phone features are in
use. Check with your local service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off
in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Medical Devices
If you have a medical device, including an implantable
medical device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult
your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer’s
directions before using this mobile phone.
Important Safety Information 21
Persons with implantable medical devices:
●Should always keep the mobile phone more than six (6)
inches from the implantable medical device when the
mobile phone is turned ON.
●Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast pocket.
●Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical
device to minimize the potential for interference.
●Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if you have
any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic
Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
their representative to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with
the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities,
and request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the
22 Important Safety Information
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is
in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous
Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your
phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can
cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even
death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include:
●Fueling areas such as gas stations.
●Below deck on boats.
●Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
●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’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable
liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your
Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it
as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your invoice.
Important Safety Information 23
Waterproof Capability
Your Hydro LIFE is waterproof and meets IPX5 and IPX7
standards, immersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth not
exceeding one meter (about 3.28 feet). Exposing your
phone to water outside these limits or not following the
precautions can result in water damage.
To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof capability,
the following precautions must be observed.
●Make sure the battery cover is properly sealed by
squeezing around the edges of the cover. The charger/
accessory jack and headset jack ports do not have
covers because they are waterproof.
●Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other than
fresh water or tap water.
●Do not expose your phone to water heated in excess of
104°F (40°C), or to liquids other than water, such as
detergent, beverages, or chlorinated or treated water.
Should your phone be accidentally exposed to other
liquids, rinse the phone gently in clean fresh water.
●The touch panel and touch keys will not operate when the
phone is wet.
●Your phone is inoperable under water and should be dried
as quickly as possible when wet.
●Do not use the charger/accessory jack for charging, data
transmission, etc. until the phone is completely dry.
If your phone gets wet:
Water lodged in the headset jack may cause the phone to
falsely detect an inserted headset (in which case the
loudspeaker and/or earpiece audio will be disabled) until the
water is removed. Water in the microphone port may affect
outbound audio quality. These are temporary conditions and
will subside once the phone is dry.
1. Do not open the battery door as this may allow water
to get inside the sealed portion of the phone.
2. Wipe the phone surfaces with a dry clean cloth.
24 Important Safety Information
3. Water in the phone’s open ports may affect sound
quality and should be removed with puffs of air directly
into the ports. Phone audio may not operate properly
until ports are dry. Apply a dry clean cloth to the open
areas and crevices to remove the moisture left on the
phone: microphones; speakers; power button; volume
button; headset jack; and charger/accessory jack.
4. Repeat the process until the phone is completely dry.
Charging
●Dry your phone with a clean cloth before charging.
●Do not touch the charger, charging cable, or charger/
accessory jack with wet hands. Doing so may cause
electric shock, injury, or product failure.
●Do not charge your phone in a wet or damp place, such
as in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink.
Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device
When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing
devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a noise which can interfere with the
effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard
C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of
measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to
determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist
hearing device users in finding phones that may be
compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have
been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones
that have been rated have a label located on the box.
Your Hydro LIFE has an M3 and a T3 rating.
Important Safety Information 25
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and the individual’s
type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is
particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone
with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise
levels in the hearing device. 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
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings.)
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 “Telephone Switch”) than unrated
phones. (T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that
not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Note: This phone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies
that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies used in this phone that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to
try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or
cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any
interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the
manufacturer of this phone for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about
return or exchange policies, consult your service
provider or phone retailer.
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to
interference noise from wireless phones and should have
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating
of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable
usability:
●Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
26 Important Safety Information
●Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal
use.
●Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you
will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is
synonymous for T ratings.
More information about hearing aid compatibility may be
found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and
www.accesswireless.org.
Getting the Best Hearing Device
Experience With Your Phone
To further minimize interference, move the phone around to
find the point with least interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
●Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding.
It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries
with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.
Use only manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories. Buying the right batteries and accessories is
the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.
●Only use the battery with a qualified charger. Use of an
unqualified battery charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you are unsure
about whether a charger is qualified, contact customer
support.
Important Safety Information 27
●Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, or
puncture or shred the battery.
●Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign
objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or
other liquids, expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
●Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or
battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the
user suspects damage, take it to a service center for
inspection.
●Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or
other hazard.
●Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive
objects to contact battery terminals.
●Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
●Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Charging
●In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to
45° C).
●Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
●The battery may need recharging if it has not been used
for a long period of time.
●It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of
times before it needs replacing.
●Replace the battery only with another qualified battery.
Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you are unsure
about whether a replacement battery is compatible,
contact customer support.
28 Important Safety Information
Storing
●Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
▪Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
▪More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Common Causes of Battery Drain
●Playing games or using the Web.
●Keeping backlighting on.
●Operating the phone far away from a base station or cell site.
●Using data cables or accessories.
●Operating the phone when no service is available, or
service is available intermittently.
●High volume settings.
●Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted alerts.
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
●Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations.
●Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
●Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you
can be burned.
●For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact
your nearest authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or
business trash may be prohibited.
Important Safety Information 29
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF
power to reach the network. The system handling your call
controls the RF power level. Depending on network
conditions, your phone may operate at an actual SAR level
below the maximum value specified. Your phone is designed
not to exceed the recommended international guidelines for
limits on RF exposure.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries
developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted
hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE
standard and the guidelines published by the National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
always use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for
body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone for
body-worn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least 0.59 inches
(1.5 centimeters) separation distance between the user’s
body and the phone, including antennas. Body worn
30 Important Safety Information
accessories that do not meet these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be
avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for
Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the Hydro LIFE are:
Head: 1.07 W/kg
Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg
Hotspot: 0.82 W/kg
Phone models may have different versions and more than
one value. Changes in design or components may occur
over time and some changes could affect SAR values. More
information on the phone’s SAR can be found on the
following FCC website: http://fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
