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) supplied and approved

leather case CA90-61068-01 and universal belt clip CE90-B1700-01).

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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

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:

AMPS mode-head: 1.30 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.649 mW/g with KWC leather case

CA90-61068-01.

PCS mode-head: 1.12 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.279 mW/g with KWC universal belt

clip CE90-B1700-01.

(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) supplied

and approved leather case CA90-61068-01 and universal belt clip

CE90-B1700-01).

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-3225. 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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

vii

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.

Optimize your phone’s performance

Use the guidelines on see page 3 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.

viii

• 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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

5 SENDING AND RECEIVING TEXT MESSAGES

This chapter describes how to send, receive, and erase text messages from

your phone. For information on voicemail messages, see page 25.

Important: The features and menus described in this chapter may vary

depending on services available in your area. In addition, usage charges may

apply to each message. For clarification on these issues, check with your

service provider.

Sending text messages

Check with your service provider to find out if you are able to send text

messages from your phone. You can only send text messages to phones that

are capable of receiving them, or to email addresses.

Your Kyocera 3225 can provide many sending options. For example, you may:

• Send messages to group lists

• Choose from standard prewritten messages

• Create your own auto-replies

• Send recipients a multiple-choice reply list

• Set message priority

• Request notification receipts

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

(Check with your service provider for availability of options.)

Sending a simple message

To send a plain text message to a single recipient:

Sending and Receiving Text Messages

Understanding appended messages

Text entry field

Character

Message counter

A single message can contain up to 123 characters. If you go over this

character limit, the phone may automatically append an empty message to

make space. Note that your service provider will charge for your first message

as well as each appended message.

In the Message entry screen, two counters keep track of the characters and

appended messages (if available from your service provider).

• The character counter shows the number of characters you have remaining in

the text message. This counter begins with 123 and counts down as you

enter text, pictures, or sound, until it reaches 0. If you continue to enter text

after this counter reaches 0, a message will be appended and the counter

will start counting down from 123 again.

• The message counter shows the number of messages associated with the text

you are composing. 1/10 indicates that only one message is in use. 3/10

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

indicates that three messages have been appended together. Important: Your

service provider will charge you for each message, so if the counter shows

3/10, you will be charged for three messages.

Including pictures and sounds

Depending on the services available from your carrier, you can include smiley

faces, graphics, and sound in your text messages.

To send a message with special features:

1. Select Menu → Messages → Send New.

You can use your Kyocera 3225 phone to download and manage applications

through the BREW=platform, if your service provider supports BREW and if

over-the-air Internet access is available in your area.

BREW brings you the full range of applications and services you have come to

expect from the Internet: Email and instant messaging, real-time navigation

services, group chat, games, relevant news, and much more.

Once applications are loaded, you can update to newer versions as they

become available.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

121

For more information

For more information about BREW capabilities and application pricing, contact

your service provider.

How does BREW work?

You connect to the server, download applications, and then manage them as

you like. When you choose an application, you have the option of choosing a

demo, various limited use options, or the full version—all varying in price. If you

choose a demo, BREW will let you know when it has expired. If you choose a

priced version, the amount is added to your phone bill. BREW will also let you

know if you’re running out of memory. At that point, you can either disable an

application or remove it completely.

Downloading an application

1. From the home screen, select Menu.

2. Look for the BREW Apps menu. It is second in the main menu. The icon looks

like a tornado swirl.

3. Select BREW Apps. The BREW Apps menu contains BREW Shop (indicated by

a shopping cart icon). BREW Shop is your link to downloading applications.

4. Select BREW Shop. A message appears, reminding you that charges apply

when you browse for, or download apps.

122

Connecting to the Internet

5. Select Start. When a connection to the server is made, the BREW Shop

menu appears with a list of application types to choose from.

6. Select an application type. A full list of applications of the type you selected

appears. New apps are indicated by an arrow on the left.

Note: Long titles scroll left as you highlight them.

7. Select an application. A list of usages appears. There may be one or more

usages available. The costs are specified for each.

8. Select a usage. You are then prompted by a message asking you to confirm

your choice.

9. Select Yes to confirm. The application is downloaded to your phone.

Download times will vary.

10. To open the application now, select Yes. If you choose No, you return to the

BREW Apps menu, where you will see a link to your new application.

Note: Your connection to the application server will automatically end after 1

minute, unless you connect again to download more apps. If you want to

end the connection manually, press

page).

disable them. This means you have to re-download an application in order to

use it again, but don’t have to pay for it again.

1. Select Menu → BREW Apps → BREW Shop → Options.

2. Select the application and select Disable.

3. Select Yes to confirm your choice.

Note: The app is still listed in the BREW Apps menu. The icon looks like an empty

box.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3225 Phone

Checking available memory

The amount of available memory depends on the number of applications you

downloaded.

1. Select Menu → BREW Apps → BREW Shop → Options.

2. Select Information.

The two numbers shown here describe the amount of space used by your

existing applications, and the total space allocated for BREW applications. If

these two numbers are close in size, you are nearing capacity. Disable or

remove some applications.
