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 the Kyocera Wireless Corp.

(KWC) approved universal pouch CV90-61344-02.

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 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.

DRAFT

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. The body-

worn SAR values were obtained by using Kyocera

Wireless Corp. [KWC] supplied and approved

universal pouch CV90-61344-02.

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-KX9D.

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.

User Guide for the Kyocera KX9d Phone iii

DRAFT

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 you have 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 Xxxxxx Xxxxx

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. 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

DRAFT

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.

Xxxxx Xxxxx’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.
