power level. This power can range from
0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency
Safety
The 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 Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset
on your body, use a Kyocera-supplied or
Kyocera-approved carrying case, holster or
other body-worn accessory. If you do not
use a body-worn accessory, ensure the
antennas are at least 0.59 inches (1.5
centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-Kyocera-approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines. Other 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 antennas and the user’s body.

Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) for Wireless Phones
The 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
