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 CV90-G2573-01 and

holster CV90-G2958-01.

Other accessories used with this device for body-worn

operations must not contain any metallic components

and must provide at least 25 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.

User Guide for the Kyocera Slider Remix KX5 Phone iii

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-KX5-5X0.

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 2 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 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

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.

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.

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:

User Guide for the Kyocera Slider Remix KX5 Phone v

• 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.
