Kyocera Candid KX16 User Manual

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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the  
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX16.  
If you have any reason to suspect that  
interference is taking place, turn off your phone  
immediately.  
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.  
* 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.  
Caution  
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.  
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.

Potentially unsafe areas  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
Resetting the phone  
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.  
To shop online for phone accessories, visit  
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.  
To order by phone, call (800) 349-4188  
(U.S.A. only) or (858) 882-1410.  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:  
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.  
fueling areas such as gas stations  
below deck on boats  
transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals  
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:  
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  
ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards  
Institute, 1992)  
Use with care  
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.  
NCRP Report 86 (National Council on  
Radiation Protection and Measurements,  
1986)  
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.  
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-  
Ionizing Radiation Protection, 1996)  
Your phone complies with the standards set by  
these reports and the FCC guidelines.
