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 case CA90-G2603-01 and universal belt clip 55-B1795-01.  
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.  
User Guide for the Kyocera Blade phone  
v
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.  
vi  
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 these model phones are:  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4 (Phone Model KE424C)  
Head: 1.46 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.524 mW/g.  
User Guide for the Kyocera Blade phone  
vii  
(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 case CA90-G2603-01 and universal belt  
clip 55-B1795-01).  
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 the FCC ID:  
Model: KE423  
Model: KE424  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE423  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://  
www.wow-com.com.  
viii  
* 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 Wireless Corp. approved accessories with Kyocera Wirelss  
Corp. phones. Use of any unauthorized accessories (includes faceplates/front  
housings) may be dangerous and may invalidate the phone warranty if said  
accessories cause damage or a defect to the 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.  
x
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 or switch it to Airplane Mode (page 16) before  
boarding aircraft.  
User Guide for the Kyocera Blade phone
