FCC/IC Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(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 comply with FCC radiation exposure requirements, use of this device
for body-worn operational configurations is limited to accessories tested
and approved by Kyocera Wireless Corp. Other accessories used with
this device for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least 13.5 mm separation distance

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (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 1.6W/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.

User Guide for the Kyocera S14 Opal phone vii
This is because thephone isdesignedtooperate 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 value for
this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.31 W/kg. and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.648 W/kg. (Body-
worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available 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.

viii
The body-worn measurements were performed on the following Kyocera
accessories:
Holster CV90-B1680
Leather Case CA90-B1691M
Leather Case CA90-B1691S
SAR testing was performed with production battery CV90-G8196, Model
# TXBAT10003.
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
ÜííéWLLïïïKÑÅÅKÖçîLçÉíLÑÅÅáÇ after searching on FCC ID OVFKWC-5135.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (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 S14 Opal 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 may be dangerous and will invalidate the
phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the
phone.

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 following reports:
• ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)
• NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, 1986)
• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the
FCC guidelines.
