Kyocera KX12 User Manual page 3

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
FCC ID OVFKWC-KX12.

Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at

* 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.
Warning
Use only Kyocera approved accessories with
Kyocera phones. Use of any unauthorized
accessories (includes faceplates/front housings)
may be dangerous and will invalidate the phone
warranty if said accessories cause damage or a
defect to the phone.
Walkie-talkie radio feature
When using your phone as a walkie-talkie radio,
hold the phone a minimum separation distance of
one inch (2.5 cm) between your face and the
device, including the antenna, to comply with FCC
exposure limits.
