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. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the 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.

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 body-worn SAR values were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp. [KWC] supplied and approved universal pouch CV90-61344-02. 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 at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the FCC ID: OVFKWC-K27. 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.

Radio Frequency (RF) energy Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out RF energy. Virgin Mobile's network controls the power of the RF signal. This power level can range from 0.006 to 0.6 watts. 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: · ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992) · NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1986) iv · ICNIRP (International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection, 1996) Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports and the FCC guidelines. E911 mandates Where service is available, this handset complies with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates issued by the FCC. Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Features of this Phone This Virgin Mobile phone has been certified as receiving an M4 rating for hearing aid-compatibility performance. While there is no guarantee, digital wireless phones that receive a minimum of an M3 rating should provide acceptable performance with most hearing aids. Hearing loss and hearing aids are highly individualized, however, so optimal performance cannot be guaranteed. Other factors, such as type of hearing aid device or degree of hearing loss, also can affect a phone's performance for a particular user. Hearing Aids and Wireless Phones A hearing aid uses a microphone to collect and convert sound waves to electrical signals. The hearing aid then amplifies and converts the electrical signals back to audible sounds for the hearing aid user to hear. Radiofrequency (RF) emissions generated by digital wireless phones often interfere with the operation of a hearing aid's microphone, distorting the amplified audible sound. In addition, hearing aid microphones tend to collect ambient noise and amplify these sounds, interfering with the desired audio transmission. ANSI Standard To diminish interference between wireless phones and hearing aids, the FCC requires wireless carriers to offer phones that meet the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard for reduced RF emissions. Wireless phones that comply with the FCC's hearing aid-compatibility (HAC) regulations must receive a minimum rating of "M3" for RF emissions under the ANSI C63.19 standard. The "M" rating refers to the phone's RF emissions level for use with hearing aids operating in the microphone setting. The higher the phone's "M" rating, the more likely the phone is compatible with a hearing aid operating in the microphone setting. Hearing aids also have ratings similar to wireless phones. Most newer hearing aid models receive at least an M2 rating. To determine the level of compatibility between your hearing aid and this Virgin Mobile HAC-certified phone, combine the M rating of your hearing aid and the M4 rating of this phone. For example, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with this M4 phone, you will achieve a combined rating of 7. · Any combined rating equal to or great ...
