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.  
vi  
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 values  
for this model phone are:  
Cellular Band (Part 22)—Head:1.36 mW/g;  
Body-worn: 0.584 mW/g with KWC universal belt clip 55-B1795-02;  
Face: 0.397 mW/g with at least one inch (2.5 cm) separation.  
PCS Band (Part 24)—Head:1.46 mW/g;  
Body-worn: 0.311 mW/g with KWC universal belt clip 55-B1795-02;  
Face: 0.22 mW/g with at least one inch (2.5 cm) separation.  
User Guide for the Kyocera KX440 PTT phone  
vii  
Recommended body worn accessories are only intended for use with the  
standard or thin battery door, not the sport clip.  
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon  
availability of accessories and FCC requirements. The body-worn SAR  
values provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp.  
(KWC) approved case CA90-B1860 or holster 55-B1795-02. The sport  
clip is not designed to be a body-worn accessory).  
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-KX444.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site  
at http://www.wow-com.com.  
viii  
* 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.  
User Guide for the Kyocera KX440 PTT phone  
ix  
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.  
Optimize your phone’s performance  
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to optimize the performance  
and life of your phone, antenna, and battery.  
Air bags  
If your vehicle has 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.  
x
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.  
• 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.  
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.
