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 and universal belt clip

50-61083-01).

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 phone

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.

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: 1.27 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.441 mW/g with KWC

leather case CA90-61068.

PCS mode-head: 1.19 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.222 mW/g with KWC

universal belt clip 50-61083-01.

(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 phone

vii

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 and universal

belt clip 50-61083-01. The Sports 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-3245.

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

viii

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.

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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 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.

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.

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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 phone

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
