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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Health Industry Manufacturers Association and
the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
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
on the FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX7.
•
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.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association
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.
* 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.
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.
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.
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.
Resetting the phone
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not
respond to keypresses, reset the phone by completing
the following steps:
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.
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.
Accessories
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.
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.

10 CONSUMER LIMITED WARRANTY
Kyocera Wireless Corp. (“KYOCERA”) offers you a
limited warranty that the enclosed product or
products (the “Product”) will be free from
defects in material and workmanship for a period
that expires one year from the date of sale of the
Product to you, provided that you are the original
end-user purchaser of the Product and provided
that your purchase was made from an authorized
supplier. Transfer or resale of a Product will
automatically terminate warranty coverage with

not transferable to any third party, including but
not limited to any subsequent purchaser or owner
of the Product.
After the one year warranty period, you must pay
all shipping, parts and labor charges.
This limited warranty does not cover and is void
with respect to the following: (i) any Product
which has been improperly installed, repaired,
maintained or modified; (ii) any Product which
has been subjected to misuse (including any
Product used in conjunction with hardware
electrically or mechanically incompatible or used
with accessories not approved by KYOCERA),
abuse, accident, physical damage, abnormal
operation, improper handling, neglect, exposure
to fire, water or excessive moisture or dampness
or extreme changes in climate or temperature;
(iii) any Product operated outside published
maximum ratings; (iv) cosmetic damage; (v) any
Product on which warranty stickers or Product
serial numbers have been removed, altered, or
rendered illegible; (vi) cost of installation,
removal or reinstallation; (vii) signal reception
problems (unless caused by defects in material
and workmanship); (viii) damage the result of
fire, flood, acts of God or other acts which are not
the fault of KYOCERA and which the Product is not
specified to tolerate, including damage caused by
mishandling, shipping and blown fuses; (ix)
consumables (such as fuses); or (x) any Product
which has been opened, repaired, modified or
altered by anyone other than KYOCERA or a
KYOCERA authorized service center.
KYOCERA shall, at its sole and absolute discretion,
either repair or replace a Product (which unit
may use refurbished parts of similar quality and
functionality) if found by KYOCERA to be defective
in material or workmanship, or if KYOCERA
determines that it is unable to repair or replace
such Product, KYOCERA shall refund the purchase
price for such Product, provided that the subject
Product (i) is returned, with transportation
prepaid, to a KYOCERA authorized service center
within the one year warranty period, and (ii) is
accompanied by a proof of purchase in the form
of a bill of sale or receipted invoice which
