Kyocera Refrigerator K342 User Manual

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 modifications

not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the warranty and user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and

the wireless technology research community

recommend that you follow these guidelines to

minimize the potential for interference.

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

•

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.

If you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place, turn off your phone

immediately.

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the

FCC ID: OVFKWC-K24B.

Additional information on SAR can be found on the

Cellular Telecommunications and Internet

Association (CTIA) web-site at

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.

http://www.wow-com.com.

* 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.

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.

User Guide for the Kyocera K342 Phone

iii

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.

Resetting the phone

If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not

respond to keypresses, reset the phone by

completing the following steps:

Potentially unsafe areas

Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility

when posted notices require you to do so.

1. Remove the battery door.

2. Remove and replace the battery.

If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer

for service.

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.

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.

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.

Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting is

in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any

regulations or rules.

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.

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.

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

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are

often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

•

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

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)

•

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

Your phone complies with the standards set by these

reports and the FCC guidelines.

Use with care

Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,

hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.

E911 mandates

Where service is available, this handset complies

with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates issued

by the FCC.

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.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile Phones

Battery and charger specifications

Charger Input

Some mobile phones and hearing devices (hearing

aids and cochlear implants), when used together,

result in buzzing, humming, or whining noises

detected by the user. Some hearing devices are

more immune than others to this interference noise,

and phones also vary in the amount of interference

they generate.

Output

CV90-G2968-01 120VAC 60Hz 7W

CV90-G2588-01 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.2A

CV90-G2589-01 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.3A

Standard Battery:

5.2VDC400mA

4.2VDC 0.6A

4.5VDC 1.2A

The wireless telephone industry has developed

ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist

hearing device users in finding phones that may be

compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones

have been rated. Phones that are rated have the

rating on their box or a label on the box.

CV90-P3031-05 3.7V 900mAh

Extended Battery:

CV90-P3032-03 1800mAh

The ratings are not guarantees and results will vary

depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing

loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable

to interference, you may not be able to use a rated

phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your

hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your

personal needs.

M-Ratings— Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that are

not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity

to this type of interference. Your hearing device

manufacturer or hearing health professional may

help you choose the proper rating for your mobile

phone. The more immune your hearing aid is, the

less likely you are to experience interference noise

from mobile phones.
