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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Health Industry Manufacturers Association and
the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
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.
•
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.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association
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.
* 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.

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.
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.
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.
Resetting the phone
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not
respond to keypresses, reset the phone by completing
the following steps:
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility
when posted notices require you to do so.
1. Remove the battery door.
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.
2. Remove and replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer
for service.
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.
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.
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting is in
progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
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.
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.
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
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
international standards bodies in the following reports:
transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as
propane or butane
