Kyocera Cell Phone KX160A User Manual

 
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  
The user is cautioned that changes or  
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  
modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the warranty  
and user’s authority to operate the equipment.

and battery.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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  
on the FCC ID.  
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.  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX160A  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX160B  
Do not carry your phone near your heart.  
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet  
Association (CTIA) web-site at  
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.  
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  
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.  
Use with care  
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.  
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.  
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  
Resetting the phone  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does  
not respond to keypresses, reset the phone by  
completing the following steps:  
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.  
1. Remove the battery door.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
If the problem persists, return the phone to the  
dealer for service.  
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. Your physician may be  
able to help you obtain this information.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
E911 mandates  
Where service is available, this handset complies  
with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates  
issued by the FCC.

2. Toward the bottom of  
the phone there is a  
recess to aid you in  
opening the battery  
door. Use your finger to  
pull the battery door  
away.  
The battery icon in the  
upper-right corner of the  
screen tells you whether the phone is:  
Charging (the icon is animated)  
Partially charged  
3. Place the battery in the  
phone casing with the  
metal contacts toward  
the bottom of the phone.  
Fully charged  
Recharging the battery
