THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
User Guide iii
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not
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 by 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the
FCC ID: OVFKWC-M1000-2J0.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at
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 in this guide to learn how to
optimize the performance and life of your phone

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.
iv
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 Virgin
Mobile 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 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
auto manufacturer 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 with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Keep phone dry
Keep the phone dry. Damage can result if the
phone gets wet. Water damage is not covered
under warranty.
User Guide 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.
Virgin Mobile’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
This Virgin Mobile phone has received a HAC
performance rating (designated by the letter M
followed by a number). The rating for this phone is
identified on the outside of this phone’s original
packaging. 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. Radio Frequency (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.
vi
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 Virgin Mobile HAC-
certified phone, combine the M rating of your
hearing aid and the M rating of this phone. For
example, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M4
phone, you will achieve a combined rating of 7.
•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.
T-Ratings—Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or
“Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all
hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for
immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you choose the proper rating for your
mobile phone. The more immune your hearing aid
is, the less likely you are to experience interference
noise from mobile phones.

have any additional questions about hearing
aid-compatibility.

• Do not immerse the battery or expose it to
water or other liquids. Even if a battery appears
to dry out and operate normally, internal parts
can slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.
• Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C
(59°F and 77°F). Do not expose the battery to
extremes of temperature, fire, or other hazards
such as a cooking surface, iron, or radiator.
• Never use any damaged battery.
• Only use the battery for its intended phone.
• Only use the battery with a qualified charger. Use
of an unqualified battery charger may present a
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
If you are unsure about whether a charger is
qualified, contact customer support.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or allow metallic
conductive objects—such as keys, coins, or
jewelry—to contact the battery’s terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another qualified
battery. Use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a replacement battery is compatible, contact
