Kyocera Conference Phone Koi User Manual

 
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 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.  
The body-worn SAR values provided above were  
obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp. [KWC]  
supplied and approved case CV90-61296-01 and  
holster CV90-L8010-01.  
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 the  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX2.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association  
(CTIA) web-site at  
.
* 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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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.  
AMPS mode – Head: 1.32 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.608 mW/g  
PCS mode – Head: 0.85 mW/g; Body-worn: 0.310 mW/g  
Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon availability of accessories  
and FCC requirements.  
 
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.  
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.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:  
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.  
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  
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.  
Use with care  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 or switch  
it to Airplane Mode before boarding aircraft.  
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.  
 
Accessories

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
