Kyocera Strobe K612b User Manual

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

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

substantial safety margin designed to assure the

safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX21 (for Kyocera K612) or

OVFKWC-KX21-2X0 (for Kyocera K612b)

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.*

Additional information on SAR can be found

on the Cellular Telecommunications and

Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at

http://www.wow-com.com.

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

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.

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 2 to learn how to

optimize the performance and life of your phone

and battery.

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.

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. The

phone should be kept at least six (6) inches away

from the pacemaker to reduce risk.

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.

User Guide for the Strobe Phone

iii

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

and the wireless technology research community

recommend that you follow these guidelines to

minimize the potential for interference.

Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting

is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any

regulations or rules.

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.

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

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.

areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders

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

If the phone gets wet, turn the power off

immediately and contact your dealer. Water

damage may not be covered under warranty.

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 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.

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

4. Replace the back panel

by sliding the notches

into the openings on the

left side.

Note: The battery will not charge if you use the

phone while it is connected to an AC adapter.

Note: You must use a Kyocera-authenticated

battery in your phone. If you attempt to use a

battery that has not been authenticated you will

receive a security warning.

5. Snap the back panel

into place.

Contact your service provider to obtain a

Kyocera-authenticated battery.
