FCC/IC Notice for Kyocera 2135 Phones
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 comply with FCC radiation exposure requirements, use of this device for body-worn operational configurations
is limited to accessories tested and approved by Kyocera Wireless Corp. Other accessories used with this device
for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 26.7mm 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 radiofrequency (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 1.6W/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. The
highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.33 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.77 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available 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 of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
OVFKWC-2135.

Industry 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.
