Kyocera Cell Phone VMS130 User Manual

 
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 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  
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on the  
FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet  
Association (CTIA) web-site at www.ctia.org.  
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.*  
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit  
for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 phones performance  
Use the guidelines in this guide to learn how to  
optimize the performance and life of your phone  
and battery.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the  
public, it must be tested and certified by 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
User Guide  
 
iii  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association  
and the wireless technology research community  
recommend that you follow these guidelines to  
minimize the potential for interference.  
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting  
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any  
regulations or rules.  
Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn off your  
phone when you are in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and  
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an  
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often, but not always, clearly marked.  
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.  
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
If you have any reason to suspect that  
interference is taking place, turn off your  
phone immediately.  
They include:  
fueling areas such as gas stations  
below deck on boats  
transfer or storage facilities for fuel  
or chemicals  
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones  
may interfere with hearing aids. In the event of  
such interference, you may want to consult your  
service provider or call the customer service line  
to discuss alternatives.  
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as  
propane or butane  
areas where the air contains chemicals or  
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders  
any other area where you would normally be  
advised to turn off your vehicle engine  
Other medical devices—If you use any other personal  
medical device, consult the manufacturer of the  
device to determine if it is adequately shielded  
from external RF energy. Your physician may be  
able to help you obtain this information.  
Use with care  
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.  
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in health  
care facilities when instructed. Hospitals and  
health care facilities may be using equipment that  
is sensitive to external RF energy.  
Avoid magnetic environments  
Keep the phone away from magnets which can  
cause improper functioning of the phone.  
Potentially unsafe areas  
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility  
when posted notices require you to do so.  
Keep your phone dry  
Aircraft—FCC regulations prohibit using your  
phone on a plane that is in the air. Turn your  
phone off or switch it to Airplane Mode before  
boarding aircraft.  
Keep the phone dry. Damage can result if the  
phone gets wet. Water damage is not covered  
under warranty.  
Resetting the phone  
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly  
installed or inadequately shielded electronic  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the  
manufacturer of the device to determine if it is  
adequately shielded from external RF energy.  
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does  
not respond to keypresses, reset the phone by  
completing the following steps:  
1. Remove the battery cover.  
2. Remove and replace the battery.  
iv  
 
If the problem persists, return the phone to the  
dealer for service.  
The rating for this phone is identified on the outside  
of this phone’s original packaging. 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.  
Accessories  
Use only Kyocera-approved accessories with  
Kyocera phones. Use of any unauthorized  
accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate  
the phone warranty if said accessories cause  
damage or a defect to the phone.  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy  
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.  
When it is on, it receives and sends out RF energy.  
Your service provider’s network controls the power  
of the RF signal. This power level can range from  
0.006 to 0.6 watts.  
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. Radio Frequency (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,  
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:  
interfering with the desired audio transmission.  
ANSI C95.1 (American National  
Standards Institute, 1992)  
ANSI Standard  
NCRP Report 86 (National Council on  
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.  
Radiation Protection and  
Measurements, 1986)  
ICNIRP (International Commission on  
Non-Ionizing 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.  
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.  
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Features  
This Virgin Mobile phone has received a HAC  
performance rating (designated by the letter M  
followed by a number).  
User Guide  
 
v
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 M rating of this phone. For  
example, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M4  
phone, you will achieve a combined rating of 7.  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than  
6 provides excellent performance.  
Any combined rating equal to 5 offers  
good performance.  
Any combined rating equal to 4 offers  
acceptable performance.  
T-Ratings—Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC  
requirements and are likely to be more usable with  
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or  
Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is  
the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not  
all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)  
Hearing devices may also be measured for  
immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing  
device manufacturer or hearing health professional  
may help you choose the proper rating for your  
mobile phone. The more immune your hearing aid  
is, the less likely you are to experience interference  
noise from mobile phones.  
Please visit www.virginmobileusa.com if you have  
any additional questions about hearing  
aid-compatibility.

accordance with local regulations and  
recycle if possible. Do not dispose as  
household waste.  
Supervise all battery usage by children.  
Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the  
phone or battery is dropped, especially on a  
hard surface, an internal short-circuit can  
occur and pose a safety hazard. If you  
suspect battery damage, take it to a service  
center for inspection.  
Never use any damaged battery.  
Only use the battery for its intended phone.  
Only use the battery with a qualified charger.  
Use of an unqualified battery charger may  
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or  
other hazard. If you are unsure about  
whether a charger is qualified, contact  
customer support.  
Do not short-circuit the battery or allow  
metallic conductive objects—such as  
keys, coins, or jewelry—to contact the  
battery’s terminals.  
Replace the battery only with another qualified  
battery. Use of an unqualified battery may  
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or  
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether  
a replacement battery is compatible, contact  
customer support.  
Improper battery use may result in a fire,  
explosion, or other hazard.
