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 maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset
on your body, use the Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC) supplied and approved
holster (TXLCC10049). Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

User Guide for the Kyocera Slider Phone v
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
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.
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.

vi
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:
AMPS/CDMA modes (Part 22) – head: 1.49 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.85 W/kg;
PCS/CDMA mode (Part 24) – head: 0.86 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.99 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). For body-worn operation, this
phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used
with the Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC) supplied and approved holster
TXLCC10049, or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the handset a minimum of 25.0 mm from the body.
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-SE44. Additional information on SAR can be

User Guide for the Kyocera Slider Phone vii
found on the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-
site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* 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 users’ authority
to operate the equipment.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on see page 3 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.

viii
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 wireles 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.
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.

User Guide for the Kyocera Slider Phone ix
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.
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 (see page 15) 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.
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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include:

x
• fueling areas such as gas stations
• below deck on boats
• transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
• 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
• any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on
the phone.
Keep phone dry
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately and contact your dealer.
Water damage may not be covered under warranty.
Resetting the phone
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not respond to keypresses,
reset the phone by removing and replacing the battery (see see page 2).
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 -50 to +28 dBm.
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)
