Important Safety Information 3Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.Using Your Phone While DrivingTalking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.Following Safety GuidelinesTo operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.Medical DevicesIf you have a medical device, including an implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer’s directions before using this mobile phone.Persons with implantable medical devices:●Should always keep the mobile phone more than six (6) inches from the implantable medical device when the mobile phone is turned ON.●Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast pocket.●Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference.●Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
4 Important Safety InformationUsing Your Phone Near Other Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.Using Your Phone On AirplanesOn airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations and always follow the flight crew’s instructions concerning the use of your phone.Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous AreasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:●Fueling areas such as gas stations.●Below deck on boats.●Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.●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’s engine.

8 Important Safety InformationWhen some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both.Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your phone has an M4 and a T3 rating.These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and the individual's type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.)T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)Note: This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Important Safety Information 9hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:●Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.●Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.●Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: http://www.fcc.gov/, http://www.fda.gov, and http://www.accesswireless.org.Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your PhoneTo further minimize interference, move the phone around to find the point with least interference.Note: The battery cannot be removed from the phone. For replacing or disposing the battery, contact a KYOCERA authorized service center.Your phone is installed with a lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery. The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.Charging●Only charge the battery using the provided AC adapter. Use of any other device may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.●In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).●Don’t use the AC adapter in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.●The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.Caring for the Battery
10 Important Safety Information●It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing. The battery cannot be removed from the phone. Contact a KYOCERA authorized service center for replacing the battery.●Do not touch the AC adapter, charging cable, or charger/USB port with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock, injury, or product failure.●Do not charge your phone in a wet or damp place, such as in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink.Common Causes of Battery Drain●Playing games or using the Web.●Keeping backlighting on.●Operating the phone far away from a base station or cell site.●Using data cables or accessories.●Operating the phone when no service is available, or service is available intermittently.●High volume settings.●Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted alerts.Storing●Don’t store the phone in high temperature areas for long periods of time.

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion battery, contact your nearest KYOCERA authorized service center.
Important Safety Information 11Understanding How Your Phone OperatesYour phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF power to reach the network. The system handling your call controls the RF power level. Depending on network conditions, your phone may operate at an actual Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) level below the maximum value specified. Your phone is designed not to exceed the recommended international guidelines for limits on RF exposure.Knowing Radio Frequency SafetyThe design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, always use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone for body worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 0.59 inches (1.5 centimeters) separation distance between the user’s body and the phone, including antennas. Body worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov.Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
12 Important Safety InformationSpecific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR values of your phone are:Head: 0.99 W/kgBody-worn: 0.99 W/kgHotspot: 1.47 W/kgPhone models may have different versions and more than one value. Changes in design or components may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found on the following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
