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 leather case CA90-61068 and universal belt clip
50-61083-01).

vi
Other accessories used with this device for body-worn operations must
not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 22.5 mm
separation distance including the antenna and the user’s body.
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

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 phone vii
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.
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 mode-head: 1.27 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.441 mW/g with KWC
leather case CA90-61068.
PCS mode-head: 1.19 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.222 mW/g with KWC
universal belt clip 50-61083-01.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon

viii
availability of accessories and FCC requirements. The body-worn SAR
values provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp.
(KWC) supplied and approved leather case CA90-61068 and universal
belt clip 50-61083-01. The Sports 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-3245.
Additional information on SAR can be 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

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 phone ix
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.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on see page 3 to learn how to optimize the
performance and life of your phone, antenna, and battery.

x
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.
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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 3245 phone xi
• 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.
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 before boarding aircraft.
