Kyocera Cell Phone K122 User Manual

 
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices  
employs a unit of measurement known as the  
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit  
set by Anatel is 2.0 W/kg.*  
Additional information on SAR values can be found  
on the web site of CTIA (Cellular  
Telecommunications and Internet Association), at  
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard  
operating positions specified by the standards of  
Anatel, with the phone transmitting at its highest  
certified power level, in all frequency bands.  
Although the SAR is determined at the highest  
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the  
phone while operating may 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  
* 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 to  
the public, and to account for any variation  
in measurement.  
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.  
network. In general, the closer the telephone is to a  
radio base station, the lower the power transmitted.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the  
public, it must be tested, approved, and certified by  
Anatel that it does not exceed the limit of the  
government requirements related to safety in the  
event of exposure to interference.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
Use the guidelines on <Blue>page 1 to learn how  
to optimize the performance and life of your phone  
and battery.  
The tests are conducted in positions and locations  
(e.g., at the ear and used next to the body)  
specified by Anatel for each model. The highest  
values of the SAR for this phone model are  
described below in accordance with the technical  
certificate of compliance.  
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.  
While there may be differences between the SAR  
levels of various phones and at various positions,  
they all meet the government requirements with  
regard to safe exposure.  
Anatel has granted an equipment authorization for  
this model phone with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the radio  
frequency emission guidelines of Anatel.  
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.  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association  
and the wireless technology research community  
recommend that you follow these guidelines to  
minimize the potential for interference.  
SAR information on this model phone is on file with  
Anatel and can be found at its web site.  
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.
