User Guide for the Kyocera 3250 Phone iii

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) approved case CA90-G2701 or holster 50-L2440.

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. 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. The highest SAR values for this

model phone are:

Cellular Band (Part 22)-Head:1.26 mW/g; Body-worn:

0.47 mW/g with KWC case CA90-G2701-01, 0.81 mW/g with

15 mm air separation; Face: 0.39 mW/g with at least one inch

(2.5 cm) separation.

PCS Band (Part 24)-Head:1.30 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.28 mW/g

with KWC case CA90-G2701-01, 0.53 mW/g with 15 mm air

separation; Face: 0.20 mW/g with at least one inch (2.5 cm)

separation.

Recommended body worn accessories are only intended for

use with the standard battery door, not the sport clip.

(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)

approved case CA90-G2701-01 and holster 50-L2440-01. The

sport clip is not designed to be a body-worn accessory).

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

FCC ID OVFKWC-3250. 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 approved accessories with Kyocera phones.

Use of any unauthorized accessories (includes faceplates/

front housings) may be dangerous and will invalidate the

phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect

to the phone.

Walkie-Talkie radio feature

When using your phone as a walkie-talkie radio, hold the

phone a minimum separation distance of one inch (2.5 cm)

between your face and the device, including the antenna, to

comply with FCC exposure limits.

Optimize your phone’s performance

Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to optimize the

performance and life of your phone, antenna, 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 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.

Audio requirements for multiple calls

There are times when you will be engaged in a PTT call

(using the speakerphone) that you receive a “Call

Waiting” call. Or, times when you are engaged in a

cellular call (using the earpiece) when a PTT “Call

Waiting” call comes in.

Call waiting tone

In all call situations the call waiting tone is played

using the speaker and volume level that matches the

initial active call. For example, when you are engaged

in a call using the earpiece, the call waiting tone will

be played over the earpiece regardless of whether the

new call is a cellular or PTT call.

Multiple calls active

When you accept a Call Waiting call, the following

rules determine whether the phone uses the earpiece

or the speakerphone for audio delivery.

•By default, both calls are presented using the

speaker setting that is effective for the first call. For

example, if the first call is using the earpiece

speaker, then the second call uses the earpiece

speaker.

•The second call is presented based on the speaker

that is being used for the first call, regardless of

whether the speakerphone was set to ON or OFF

when the handset was in standby mode prior to the

first call.

•When there are multiple active calls, you can press

the speakerphone button to manually toggle the

speakerphone ON or OFF for both calls. In all

cases, both of the active calls are affected when the

speakerphone button is pressed.
