Kyocera Cell Phone K312 User Manual

 
The standards include a substantial safety margin  
designed to assure the safety of all persons,  
regardless of age and health.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet  
Association (CTIA) web-site at  
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.*  
* 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.  
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.  
Caution  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to  
optimize the performance and life of your phone  
and battery.  
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.  
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.  
Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon availability of 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.  
Medical devices  
PacemakersWarning 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 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  
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.

iii  
Do not carry your phone near your heart.  
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often, but not always, clearly marked.  
They include:  
If you have any reason to suspect that  
interference is taking place, turn off your  
phone immediately.  
fueling areas such as gas stations  
below deck on boats  
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.  
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  
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.  
any other area where you would normally be  
advised to turn off your vehicle engine  
Use with care  
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.  
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.  
Potentially unsafe areas  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
Resetting the phone  
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 before  
boarding aircraft.  
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does  
not respond to key presses, reset the phone by  
completing the following steps:  
1. Remove the battery door.  
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.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
If the problem persists, return the phone to the  
dealer for service.  
Accessories  
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting  
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any  
regulations or rules.  
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.  
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.
