To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC) supplied and approved; Phone Case Model: TXLCC10042B; Belt Clip Model: TXLCC10047B; Sport Clip Model: TXLCC10045B Other accessories used with this device for bodyworn 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. 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. User Guide for the Kyocera K404 Phone 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. 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 these model phones are: Phone model: K404 AMPS mode - Head: 1.39 mW/kg; Body-worn: 0.686 mW/kg PCS mode -Head: 1.46 mW/kg; Body-worn: 0.524 mW/kg Phone model: K404a AMPS/CDMA modes (Part 22) - Head: 1.37 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.66 W/kg PCS/CDMA mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.36 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.47 W/kg Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon availability of accessories and FCC requirements. The body-worn SAR values provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp. [KWC] supplied and approved; Phone Case Model: TXLCC10042B; Belt Clip Model: TXLCC10047B; Sport Clip Model: TXLCC10045B 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. iii
