Kyocera SLIDER JET KX18 User Manual

These limits are part of comprehensive  
The FCC has granted an Equipment  
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.  
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-KX18.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on  
the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet  
Association (CTIA) web-site at  
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.  
* 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.  
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.  
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.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
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.  
Use the guidelines on page 2 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.  
Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon availability of  
accessories and FCC requirements. 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.  
Medical devices  
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers:  
Wireless phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have  
been shown to interfere with pacemakers.  
User Guide for the Slider Jet Phone  
iii  
The phone should be kept at least six (6) inches  
away from the pacemaker to reduce risk.  
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting  
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow  
any regulations or rules.  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association  
and the wireless technology research community  
recommend that you follow these guidelines to  
minimize the potential for interference.  
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.  
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.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere  
are often, but not always, clearly marked.  
They include:  
fueling areas such as gas stations  
below deck on boats  
transfer or storage facilities for fuel or  
chemicals  
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.  
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  
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.  
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on  
the phone.  
Keep phone dry  
Potentially unsafe areas  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off  
immediately and contact your dealer. Water  
damage may not be covered under warranty.  
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.  
Resetting the phone  
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.  
1. Remove the battery door.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
If the problem persists, return the phone to the  
dealer for service.

Radio Frequency (RF) energy  
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.

1xEV-DO is an acronym for Evolution Data Only,  
and enables download speeds over cell phone  
networks of up to 2.4Mb per second. 1xEV-DO is  
considered the first 3G, or third generation  
wireless standard to be adopted within the US.  
Caring for the battery  
General safety guidelines  
Do not take apart, puncture, or short-circuit  
the battery.  
What this means for phones that have 1xEV-DO  
capability is that not only will they be used to  
make and receive phone calls and text messages,  
but also will be used to quickly access multimedia  
content, such as streaming or downloaded audio  
or video.  
If you have not used the battery for more than  
a month, recharge it before using your phone.  
Avoid exposing the battery to extreme  
temperatures, direct sunlight, or  
high humidity.  
Never dispose of any battery in or near a fire.  
It could explode.
