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 maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the
Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC) supplied and approved
case CA90-G2603-01 and universal belt clip
55-B1795-01.
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.
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. 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
User Guide for Blade Phones
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. The body-worn SAR values provided above
were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp. [KWC]
supplied and approved case CA90-G2603-01 and
universal belt clip 55-B1795-01).
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:
iii
Model: KE423
Model: KX423
Model: KE424
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE423
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE423
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4
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 Wireless Corp. approved accessories
with Kyocera Wirelss Corp. phones. Use of any
unauthorized accessories (includes faceplates/front
housings) may be dangerous and may invalidate the
phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a
defect to the phone.
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.
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
iv
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 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.
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
Use with care
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 (page 7) 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 only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
