FCC/IC Notice  
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the  
following two conditions:  
iv  
(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-B1799-01 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.  
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  
User Guide for the Kyocera Phantom phone  
v
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 these model phones are:  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4 (Phone model: KX414)  
AMPS mode - Head: 1.39 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.686mW/g  
vi  
PCS mode - Head: 1.46 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.524 mW/g.  
(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: KE414  
Model: KE413  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X4  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KE4X3  
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  
User Guide for the Kyocera Phantom phone  
vii  
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.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
Use the guidelines on page 3 to learn how to optimize the performance and life  
of your phone and battery.  
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.  
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.  
viii  
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 Verizon Wireless 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.

Your Kyocera phone from Verizon has the ability to download and manage

know when it has expired. If you choose a priced version, the amount is  
added to your phone bill. Get It Now also lets you know if you’re running out  
of memory. At that point, you can either disable an application or remove it  
completely.  
Once applications are loaded, you can update to newer versions as they  
become available.
