FCC 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 maintain

compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if

you wear a handset on your body, use Kyocera

Wireless Corp. (KWC) supplied and approved

accessories.

Other accessories used with this device for body-

worn operations must not contain any metallic

components and must provide at least 15 mm

separation distance including the antenna and the

user’s body.

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 radio

frequency (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.

User Guide for the K325 phone iii

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 1.6 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.

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.

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

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the

FCC ID: OVFKWC-K24-2J0.

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.

Optimize your phone’s performance

Use the guidelines on page 7 to learn how to

optimize the performance and life of your phone

and battery.

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.

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.

Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may

interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may want to consult Carrier 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.

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.

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 or

switch it to Airplane Mode 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.

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). Avoid

dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.

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.

User Guide for the K325 phone v

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.

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.

Carrier’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.

E911 mandates

Where service is available, this handset complies

with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates

issued by the FCC.

Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Features

of this Phone

This phone has been certified as

receiving an M4 rating for hearing aid-compatibility

performance. While there is no guarantee, digital

wireless phones that receive a minimum of an M3

rating should provide acceptable performance with

most hearing aids. Hearing loss and hearing aids are

highly individualized, however, so optimal

performance cannot be guaranteed. Other factors,

such as type of hearing aid device or degree of

hearing loss, also can affect a phone’s performance

for a particular user.

Hearing Aids and Wireless Phones

A hearing aid uses a microphone to collect

and convert sound waves to electrical signals.

The hearing aid then amplifies and converts the

electrical signals back to audible sounds for the

hearing aid user to hear. Radiofrequency (RF)

emissions generated by digital wireless phones often

interfere with the operation of a hearing aid’s

microphone, distorting the amplified audible sound.

In addition, hearing aid microphones tend to collect

ambient noise and amplify these sounds, interfering

with the desired audio transmission.

ANSI Standard

To diminish interference between wireless phones

and hearing aids, the FCC requires wireless carriers

to offer phones that meet the American National

Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard for

reduced RF emissions. Wireless phones that comply

with the FCC’s hearing aid-compatibility (HAC)

regulations must receive a minimum rating of “M3” for

RF emissions under the ANSI C63.19 standard. The

“M” rating refers to the phone’s RF emissions level for

use with hearing aids operating in the microphone

setting. The higher the phone’s “M” rating, the more

likely the phone is compatible with a hearing aid

operating in the microphone setting. Hearing aids

also have ratings similar to wireless phones.

Most newer hearing aid models receive at least

an M2 rating.

To determine the level of compatibility between your

hearing aid and this carrier HAC-certified

phone, combine the M rating of your hearing aid and

the M4 rating of this phone. For example, if you pair

an M3 hearing aid with this M4 phone, you will

achieve a combined rating of seven.

• Any combined rating equal to or greater than 6

provides excellent performance.

• Any combined rating equal to 5 offers

good performance.

Any combined rating equal to 4 offers

acceptable performance.
