THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GO ERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WA ES.
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 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.

User Guide for the Kyocera KX440 PTT phone vii
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 this model phone are:
Cellular Band (Part 22)—Head:1.36 mW/g;
Body-worn: 0.584 mW/g with KWC universal belt clip 55-B1795-02;
Face: 0.397 mW/g with at least one inch (2.5 cm) separation.
PCS Band (Part 24)—Head:1.46 mW/g;
Body-worn: 0.311 mW/g with KWC universal belt clip 55-B1795-02;
Face: 0.22 mW/g with at least one inch (2.5 cm) separation.

viii
Recommended body worn accessories are only intended for use with the
standard or thin battery door, not the sport clip.
(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) approved case CA90-B1860 or holster 55-B1795-02. The sport
clip is not designed to be a body-worn accessory).
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 FCC ID OVFKWC-KX444.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site
at http://www.wow-com.com.

User Guide for the Kyocera KX440 PTT phone ix
* 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.
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.
Warning
Use only Kyocera approved accessories with Kyocera phones. Use of
any unauthorized accessories (includes faceplates/front housings) may
be dangerous and will invalidate the phone warranty if said accessories
cause damage or a defect to the phone.

x
Walkie-talkie radio feature
When using your phone as a walkie-talkie radio, hold the phone a
minimum separation distance of one inch (2.5 cm) between your face and
the device, including the antenna, to comply with FCC exposure limits.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to optimize the performance
and life of your phone, antenna, 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.

User Guide for the Kyocera KX440 PTT phone xi
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 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
service provider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

xii
