User Guide for the Kyocera 1155 phone v
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 22.5 mm
separation distance including the antenna and the user’s body. Other
accessories that have not been tested for body-worn SAR may not comply
with FCC radiation exposure limits and should be avoided.
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
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government.

vi
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.
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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 1155 phone vii
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 1.47 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.562 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.
*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.
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-2255. Additional information
on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at: http://www.wow-com.com.

viii
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.
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.
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.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:
• 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

User Guide for the Kyocera 1155 phone xi
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Don’t bend the antenna or touch it
unnecessarily. Pull out the antenna when on a call and push it in when the
phone is not in use. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Keep phone dry
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately and return it to the
dealer for service.
Resetting the phone
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not respond to keypresses,
reset the phone by completing the following steps:
1. Remove the battery door.
2. Remove and replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer for service.

xii
Qualified service
If you are experiencing problems with your phone, see “Getting Help” on
page 72. If you have additional questions, contact your service provider for
technical support. If the problem persists, return the phone with all
accessories and packaging to the dealer for qualified 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.

User Guide for the Kyocera 1155 phone xiii
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 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.

4. Place the battery into the phone with
the metal contacts facing down.
5. Align the battery door to the grooves
on the top and side of the phone.
6. Slide the battery door up until it clicks
into place. Repeat if the battery door is not aligned. Do not force.

User Guide for the Kyocera 1155 phone 2
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when you receive your phone. You must
have at least a partial charge in the battery to make or receive calls,
regardless of whether or not the AC adapter is connected to the phone.
To charge the battery, connect the AC
adapter to the proper jack on the bottom
of the phone (as shown), then connect
the adapter’s plug to a wall outlet.
The battery icon in the upper-right corner
of the screen tells you whether the phone
is:
• Charging (the icon is animated)
• Partially charged
• Fully charged

3Getting Started
Recharging the battery
You can safely recharge the battery at any time, even if it has a partial
charge.
Caring for the battery
This page describes important safety information and tips for improving
battery performance.
General safety guidelines
• Do not take apart, puncture, or short-circuit the battery.
• If you have not used the battery for more than a month, recharge it before
using your phone.
• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or
high humidity.
• Never dispose of any battery in or near a fire. It could explode.
