Absorption Rates (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 may be dangerous and will 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, 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.

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 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 with care

Use only in normal position (to ear). Don’t bend the antenna or touch it unnecessarily. Pull out the antenna when on a call and push it in when the phone is not in use. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
