User Guide for the Kyocera Topaz Phone
iii
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.
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 the FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX7.
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

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.
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.
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.
