Clamshell Design  
The phone opens and closes like a clam shell. It  
must be open to use any of the phone’s features.  
When the phone is closed, the keypad is locked and  
covered. You will hear the phone ring (if the phone  
is on) but you must open the phone to answer the  
call.  
This feature allows you to keep the phone on, and in  
your pocket or brief case, without accidently press-  
ing any keys. Since the power  
button is on the  
outside of the phone, the phone can be turned on or  
off whether the phone is open or closed.

Antenna  
Raise the antenna for best voice quality.  
Charging the Battery  
The battery charge level is shown at the top right of  
the display when the phone is open.  
13  
When the battery charge level becomes low, the low  
battery sensor will alert you by displaying the  
screen icon and sounding an audible tone. If the  
battery level becomes too low, the phone will switch  
off and any function in progress will not be saved.  
Batteries may be charged using the standard  
desktop charger, optional travel charger, or ciga-  
rette lighter adaptor.  
Using the Desktop Charger  
Warning: Only use the desktop charger and AC adaptor  
provided with the phone. Using the wrong adaptor may  
cause damage.  
1. Plug one end of the AC adaptor into the charger  
holder and the other end into a wall outlet.  
2. Insert the battery pack in the rear of the charger  
or the phone with installed battery pack into the  
front of the charger or both simultaneously. You  
should then see a red light on the charger indi-  
cating that the battery is being charged.  
If completely discharged, the battery will charge in  
approximately 1 to 2 hours. If you leave the phone  
on while it is in the desktop charger, the battery  
will take longer to charge.  
You do not need to completely discharge the battery  
before charging. Unlike other battery systems, there  
is no memory effect which could degrade the  
battery’s performance.

PHONE SAFETY  
AND CARE  
Background  
The hand-held portable telephone is one of the most  
exciting and innovative electronic products ever  
developed. It let’s you stay in touch wherever you  
go.  
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.  
When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio  
frequency (RF) energy. When you use your phone,  
the system handling your call controls the power  
level at which your phone transmits. The power  
level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.2 of a watt.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy  
In August 1996, the Federal Communications  
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines  
with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones.  
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety  
standards previously set by both U.S. and interna-  
tional standards bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards  
Institute, NCRP Report 86 (1986) National Council  
on Radiation Protection and Measurements,  
ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-  
Ionizing Radiation Protection.  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines (and those standards).  
46  
For Best Performance  
To properly operate the phone and maintain safe  
and satisfactory service, follow these rules:  
• Extend the antenna fully.  
• Hold the phone with the antenna up and over  
your shoulder.  
• Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.  
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and  
may cause the phone to operate at a higher  
power level than otherwise needed.  
• Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  
• Speak directly into the mouth piece.  
• Use the phone when the car is stopped.  
Avoid exposing the phone and accessories to rain or  
liquid spills. If the phone gets wet, turn the power  
off immediately and remove the battery pack. If the  
phone is inoperable, then return it to the dealer for  
service.  
Only authorized personnel should install or service  
the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or  
service may be dangerous and may invalidate the  
warranty.  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments, could damage the phone and may  
violate FCC regulations.  
47  
Caring for the Battery  
For best battery performance, follow these  
guidelines:  
• Only use Kyocera battery packs, model numbers  
TABAT0201 or TABAT0202, and Kyocera charg-  
ers, model numbers TADTC0201 or TATVL0201.  
Do not use any other battery pack or charger.  
Kyocera ’s chargers are designed to maximize the  
battery life performance.  
• Do not charge the battery pack in temperatures  
outside of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) because  
damage could occur.  
• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight  
or in places with high humidity such as the  
bathroom.  
• Never dispose of the battery pack by a fire.  
• Keep the metal contacts at the top end of the  
battery pack clean.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble or short circuit the  
battery pack.  
• You may need to recharge the battery if it has not  
been used for a long time.  
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides  
acceptable performance. The battery pack may be  
recharged hundreds of times before it will need to  
be replaced.  
• Do not store the battery pack for long periods in  
places where high temperatures frequently occur.  
Follow these storage rules:  
less than 1 month: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C )  
more than 1 month: -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C)  
48  
Driving Safety  
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely  
dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember,  
safety comes first.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS  
phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey  
them.  
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:  
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safety is  
your first responsibility.  
• Use hands-free operation, if available.  
• Pull off the road and park before making or  
answering a call if driving conditions require.  
If you must use the phone while driving, please use  
one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.  
For vehicles equipped with an air bag: An air bag  
inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,  
including both installed or portable wireless equip-  
ment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag  
deployment area. If in vehicle wireless equipment is  
improperly installed and the air bag inflates,  
serious injury could result.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY  
AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
49  
Other Safety Guidelines  
Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from  
RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment  
may not be shielded against the RF signals from  
your wireless phone.  
P a cem a k er s. The Health Industry Manufacturers  
Association recommends that a minimum separa-  
tion of six (6") inches be maintained between a  
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid  
potential interference with the pacemaker. These  
recommendations are consistent with the indepen-  
dent research by and recommendations of Wireless  
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:  
• Should always keep the phone more than six  
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is  
turned ON.  
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to  
minimize the potential for interference.  
• If you have any reason to suspect that interfer-  
ence is taking place, turn your phone OFF  
immediately.  
Hearing Aids. Some digital wireless phones may  
interfere with some 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  
50  
of your device to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician  
may be able to assist you in obtaining this  
information.  
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when  
any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to  
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be  
using equipment that could be sensitive to external  
RF energy.  
Vehicles  
RF Signals may affect improperly installed or  
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor  
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its repre-  
sentative regarding your vehicle. You should also  
consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has  
been added to your vehicle.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted  
notices so require.  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while  
the plane is in the air. Switch OFF your phone  
before boarding an aircraft.  
Blasting Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn  
your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in  
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all  
signs and instructions.  
51  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a  
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs  
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause  
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or  
even death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are  
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include  
fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on  
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;  
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; and any other area where you would  
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.  
52
