Kyocera Milan KX9B User Manual

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.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet  
Association (CTIA) web-site at  
* 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.  
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.  
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.  
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 body-  
worn SAR values were obtained by using Kyocera  
Wireless Corp. [KWC] supplied and approved  
holster CV90-K0100.  
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.  
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.  
Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon availability of accessories  
and FCC requirements.  
Medical devices  
PacemakersWarning 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.  
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: OVFKWC-KX9.  
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.  
User Guide for the Kyocera Milan KX9B/KX9C Phones  
iii  
Do not carry your phone near your heart.  
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often, but not always, clearly marked. They  
include:  
If you have any reason to suspect that  
interference is taking place, turn off your phone  
immediately.  
fueling areas such as gas stations  
below deck on boats  
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.  
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  
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.  
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). Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.  
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.  
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.  
Potentially unsafe areas  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
Resetting the phone  
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.  
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does  
not respond to keypresses, reset the phone by  
completing the following steps:  
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.  
1. Remove the battery door.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
If the problem persists, return the phone to the  
dealer for service.  
Accessories  
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting  
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any  
regulations or rules.  
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.  
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.

Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.  
When it is on, it receives and sends out RF energy.  
Your service provider’s network controls the power  
of the RF signal. This power level can range from  
0.006 to 0.6 watts.  
To purchase accessories, visit  
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 international standards bodies in the  
following reports:  
ANSI C95.1  
(American National Standards Institute, 1992)  
NCRP Report 86  
(National Council on Radiation Protection and  
Measurements, 1986)  
ICNIRP  
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing  
Radiation Protection, 1996)  
Your phone complies with the standards set by  
these reports and the FCC guidelines.
