ID number B03029. FCC/IC Notice for Kyocera K612 and Kyocera K612b This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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 universal pouches: CV90-61346 or CV90-P096A. Other accessories used with this device for bodyworn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 25 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 Kyocera Wireless Corp. ("KWC") products described in this manual may include copyrighted KWC and third party software stored in semiconductor memories or other media. Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for KWC and third party software providers certain exclusive rights for copyrighted software, such as the exclusive rights to distribute or reproduce the copyrighted software. Accordingly, any copyrighted software contained in the KWC products may not be modified, reverse engineered, distributed or reproduced in any manner not permitted by law. Furthermore, the purchase of the KWC products shall not be deemed to grant either directly or by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license under the copyrights, patents or patent applications of KWC or any third party software provider, except for the normal, non-exclusive royalty-free license to use that arises by operation of law in the sale of a product.

TransFlash is a trademark of SanDisk Corporation. ii 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. 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. 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 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-KX21 (for Kyocera K612) or OVFKWC-KX21-2X0 (for Kyocera K612b) Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at 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. 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. 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.
