FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 1 INTRODUCTION This test report describes an environmental evaluation measurement of specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution in simulated human head tissues exposed to radio frequency (RF) radiation from a wireless portable device manufactured by Kyocera Wireless Corp. (KWC). These measurements were performed for compliance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The testing was performed in accordance with FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (01/01) and IEEE P1528/D1.2 issued on April 21, 2003. 2 EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) The wireless device is described as follows: FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 Product: Single-Band CDMA Phone Trade Name: Kyocera Wireless Corp.

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 5 SAR TEST RESULT SUMMARY This device has been tested for localised specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1 ~ 1992 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in IEEE P1528_D1.2. Normal antenna operating positions were incorporated, with the device transmitting at frequencies consistent with normal usage of the device. The device has been shown capable of compliance for localised specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE std. C95.1-1992 5.1 Maximum Results Found during SAR Evaluation The equipment is deemed to fulfil the requirements if the measured values are less than or equal to the limit. 5.2 Head Configuration Conducted Measured Mode Ch/f (MHz) Power Device Position Result (mW/g) (dBm) CDMA-1900 600 (1880.00) 22.85 Right Cheek 1.55 PASSED 5.3 Body Worn Configuration Conducted Measured Mode Ch/f (MHz) Power Device Position Result (mW/g) (dBm) CDMA-1900 600 (1880.00) 22.77 CE90-R2742-01 1.18 PASSED 5.4 Measurement Uncertainty Combined Uncertainty (Assessment & Source) ± 10.46 Extended Uncertainty (k=2) ± 21.22 SAR Report Page 5 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 6 TEST CONDITIONS 6.1 Ambient Conditions All tests were performed under the following environmental conditions: Ambient Temperature: 22 ± 1 Degrees C Tissue simulating liquid temperature: 22 ± 1 Degrees C Humidity: 38 % Pressure: 1015 mB 6.2 RF characteristics of the test site All SAR measurements were performed inside a shielded room that provide isolation from external EM fields. The E-field probes of the DASY 4 system are capable of detecting signals as low as 5µW/g in the liquid dielectric. External fields are minimising by the shielded room, leaving the phone as the dominant radiation source. Two 2-foot square ferrite panels are placed on the floor of the room beneath the phantom area of the DASY system to minimise reflected energy that would otherwise re-enter the phantom and combine constructively or destructively with the desired fields. These ferrite panels provide roughly 12 to 13 dB of attenuation in the frequency range of 900 MHz, and 7 to 8 dB of attenuation in the frequency range of 1.9 GHz. 6.3 Test Signal, Frequencies and Output Power In all operating bands, the measurements were performed on low, mid and high channels. The phone was set to nominal maximum power level during all tests and at the beginning of each test. DASY4 system measures power drift during SAR testing by comparing E-field in the same location at the beginning and at the end of measurement. These records were used to monitor stability of power output. 6.3.1 CDMA2000 Test conditions The device supports CDMA2000 in 1X (Phase I, Protocol revision 6) mode only. CDMA2000 1X includes TIA/EIA-95B as a subset and was approved for publishing in July 1999. It provides voice and data capabilities within a standard 1.25 MHz CDMA channel. This RF bandwidth is identical to the legacy IS-95 B system standard. 6.3.1.1 Head SAR Measurements SAR for head exposure configurations was measured in RC3 with the EUT configured to transmit at full rate using Loopback Service Option SO55. SAR for RC1 was not required when the maximum average output of each channel was less than ¼ dB higher than that measured in RC3. Otherwise, SAR was measured on the maximum output channel in RC1 using the exposure configuration that results in the highest SAR for that channel in RC3. SAR Report Page 6 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 6.3.1.2 Body SAR Measurements SAR for body exposure configurations was measured in RC3 with the DUT configured to transmit at full rate on FCH with all other code channels disabled using TDSO / SO32. SAR for multiple code channels (FCH + SCHn) was not required when the maximum average output of each RF channel was less than ¼ dB higher than that measured with FCH only. Otherwise, SAR was measured on the maximum output channel (FCH + SCHn) with FCH at full rate and SCH0 enabled at 9600 bps using the exposure configuration that results in the highest SAR for that channel with FCH only. When multiple code channels were enabled, the DUT output may shift by more than 0.5 dB and lead to higher SAR drifts and SCH dropouts. Body SAR in RC1 was not required when the maximum average output of each channel was less than ¼ dB higher than that measured in RC3. Otherwise, SAR was measured on the maximum output channel in RC1; with Loopback Service Option SO55, at full rate, using the body exposure configuration that resulted in the highest SAR for that channel in RC3. Table 6.3 below shows the maximum power level vs RCs CONDUCTED POWER (dBm) (AVG) CONFIGURATION CDMA 1900 Ch 25 Ch 600 Ch 1175 Avg Avg Avg SO2, RC1 Full Rate 22.51 22.71 22.27 SO2, RC3 Full Rate 22.47 22.73 22.13 SO3, RC1 Full Rate 22.64 22.79 22.23 SO3, RC3 Full Rate 22.50 22.43 22.15 SO55, RC1 Full Rate 22.55 22.69 22.31 SO55, RC3 Full Rate 22.69 22.85 22.40 TDSO SO32, RC3 (F+SCH) 22.40 22.77 22.12 TDSO SO32, RC3 (SCH) 22.43 22.55 22.10 Table 6.3 RC Configuration tested at “all up” power control bit. 6.4 Device Test Conditions The EUT was tested with a fully charged battery as supplied with the handset. Conducted RF power measurements were performed before and after each SAR measurements to confirm the output power. SAR Report Page 7 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 6.5 Multiple Transmitters and Antennas SAR evaluations Licensed transmitters required routine SAR evaluation as followed by IEEE 1528 Supplement C 3G FCC SAR Procedures. Stand-alone SAR measurements were tested for each licensed transmitter and reported. For an unlicensed transmitter such as 802.11 a/b/g and Bluetooth devices that does not transmit simultaneously with other transmitters and its output conducted power is < 60/f(GHz) mW, SAR evaluation is not required. If the handset contains unlicensed transmitters which may simultaneously transmit with the licensed transmitter, then SAR evaluation procedures “FCC SAR Considerations for Handsets with Multiple Transmitters and antennas, February 2008” were followed. Antenna separation was determined by the closest distance between the antennas. The conducted output power of the unlicensed transmitter was measured and compared with the power reference (Pref) as shown in table 6.5. Both criteria were evaluated to determine whether stand-alone SAR or simultaneous transmission SAR testing is required. SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSION Antenna Separation Pref (cm) Bluetooth (2.45GHz) ≤ 2.5 NA / Standalone SAR Required > 2.5 and ≤ 5.0 12 mW > 5.0 24 mW Table 6.5 Antenna Separation and Unlicensed Transmitter Output Power Threshold 6.5.1 Test requirement determination: Based on the Antenna separation and output power, Stand-Alone and Simultaneous Transmission SAR testing requirements are listed below: MEASURED PARAMETERS (UNLICENSED TRANSMITTER) Highest SAR value Transmitter Antenna Separation Output Power* (CDMA antenna + Bluetooth antenna) N/A N/A N/A N/A SAR PROCEDURES TEST REQUIRED Stand Alone SAR: No Simultaneous Transmission SAR: No *Rounded to the nearest mW SAR Report Page 8 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 6.6 SAR Tests in Mouth and Jaw Regions of the SAM Phantom Antennas located near the bottom of a phone may require SAR measurements around the mouth and jaw regions of the SAM head phantom. This typically applies to clam-shell style phones that are generally longer in the unfolded normal use positions or to certain older style long rectangular phones. It has been known for some time that there are SAR measurement difficulties in these regions of the SAM phantom. SAR probes are calibrated in tissue-equivalent liquids with sufficient separation between the probe sensors and nearby physical boundaries to ensure scattering does not affect probe calibration. When the probe tip is moved into tight regions with multiple boundaries surrounding its sensors, probe calibration and measurement accuracy can become questionable. In addition, these measurement locations often require a probe to be tilted at steep angles, where it may no longer comply with calibration requirements and measurement protocols, or satisfy the required measurement uncertainty. In some situations it is not feasible to tilt the probe or rotate the phantom, as suggested by measurement standards, to conduct these measurements. In order to ensure there is sufficient conservativeness for ensuring compliance until practical solutions are available, additional measurement considerations are necessary to address these technical difficulties. When measurements are required near the mouth, nose, jaw or similar tight regions of the SAM phantom, area or zoom scans are often unable to fully enclose the peak SAR location as required by IEEE 1528 and Supplement C, due to probe orientation and positioning difficulties. Even when limited measurements are possible, the test results could be questionable due to probe calibration and measurement uncertainty issues. Under these circumstances, the following procedures apply: The SAR required in these regions of SAM should be measured using a flat phantom. • Rectangular shaped phones should be positioned with its bottom edge positioned from the flat phantom with the same distance provided by the cheek touching position using SAM. The ear reference point (ERP, as defined for SAM) of the phone should be positioned ½ cm from the flat phantom shell. • Clam-shell phones should be positioned with the hinge against a smooth edge of the flat phantom where the upper half of the phone is unfolded and extended beyond the phantom side wall. The lower half of the phone is secured in the test device holder at a fixed distance below the flat phantom determined by the minimum separation along the lower edge of the phone in the cheek touching position using SAM. If there is substantial variation in separation distance along the lower edge of a clam- shell phone when placed in the cheek touching position using SAM, the FCC Laboratory may be contacted for additional guidance to position the phone for testing. The flat phantom data should allow test results to be compared uniformly across measurement systems, until suitable solutions are available in measurement standards to address certain probe calibration and positioning issues, due to implementation differences between horizontal and up- right SAM configurations. These flat phantom procedures are only applicable to stand-alone SAR evaluation in tight regions of the SAM phantom, where measurement is not feasible or test results can be questionable due to probe calibration and accessibility issues. Details on device positioning and photos showing how separation distances are determined should be included in the SAR report. SAR for other regions of the head must be evaluated using SAM; therefore, a phone with antennas at different locations may require flat and SAM phantom evaluation for the different antennas. When simultaneous transmission SAR evaluation is necessary in these regions of SAM and until practical solutions are available, the FCC Laboratory should be contacted for interim guidance.

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 7 DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST EQUIPMENT 7.1 Dosimetric System The measurements were performed with an automated near-field scanning system (as shown in Figure 7.1), DASY4, manufactured by Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG) of Zurich, Switzerland. The system is comprised of high precision robot, robot controller, computer, near-field probe, probe alignment sensor and the SAM phantom containing brain or muscle equivalent material. The overall RSS uncertainty of the measurement system is ±10.46% with an expanded uncertainty of ±21.22% (K=2). The measurement uncertainty budget is given in section 10.

The depth of the tissue stimulant in the ear reference point and flat reference point of the phantom were at least 15 cm. during all the tests. The depth of the liquid is measured by running a program that brings the probe to the bottom surface of the phantom then raise it up 15 centimeters. The operator at this point performs a visual inspection and makes sure that the liquid level is at or above the probe tip.

It has fiberglass shell integrated in a wooden table. The shape of the shell corresponds to the phantom defined in IEEE 1528/D1.2. It enables the dosimetric evaluation of left and right hand phone usage as well as body mounted usage at the flat phantom region. Reference markings on the phantom allow the complete set-up of all predefined phantom positions and measurement grids by manually teaching three points in the robot. The thickness of phantom shell is 2mm except for the ear, where an integrated ear spacer provides 6mm spacing from the tissue boundary. Manufacturer reports tolerance in shell thickness to be ± 0.1mm. SAR Report Page 11 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 8 SYSTEM VALIDATION The probes are calibrated annually by the manufacturer. Dielectric parameters of the stimulating liquids are measured with an automated Hewlett Packard 85070E dielectric probe in conjunction with an Agilent E5062A ENA serial network analyser. The SAR measurements of the device were done within 24 hours of system accuracy verification, which was done using the dipole validation kit. Power level of 20dBm was supplied to a dipole antenna placed under the flat section of SAM phantom.

SAR Report Page 13 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 9 DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST PROCEDURE Measurements were made on both left hand side and right hand side of the phantom. The device was position against phantom according to OET Bulletin 65 (97-01) Supplement C (01-01). Definitions of terms used in aligning the device to a head phantom are available in IEEE Standard P1528/D1.2 “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques” 9.1 Test Positions The device was placed in the holder. The bottom of the device aligns with the bottom of the holder clamp to provide a standard positioning and ensure enough free space for antenna. Device holder was provided by SPEAG together with DASY4. 9.1.1 Initial Ear Position The device was initially positioned with the earpiece region pressed against the ear spacer of a head phantom parallel to the “Neck-Front” (N-F) line defined along the base of the ear spacer that contains the “Ear Reference Point” (ERP). The “test device reference point” (point A) is aligned to the ERP on the head phantom and the “vertical centerline” is aligned to the “phantom reference plane”. vertical center line wt/2 wt/2 . horizontal line A acoustic output B bottom of handset wb/2 wb/2 Figure 7-1 – Handset vertical and horizontal Figure 7-2 - Close up side view of phantom reference lines. showing the ear region. SAR Report Page 14 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 9.1.2 Cheek Position “Initial ear position” alignments are maintained and the device is brought toward the mouth of the head phantom by pivoting along the “Neck-Front” line until any point on the display, keypad or mouthpiece portions of the handset is in contact with the phantom or when any portion of a foldout, sliding or similar keypad cover opened to its intended self-adjusting normal use position is in contact with the cheek or mouth of the phantom. Figure 7.3 - Phone position 1, “cheek” or “touch” position. 9.1.3 Tilt Position In the “cheek position”, if the earpiece of the device is not in full contact with the phantom’s ear spacer and the peak SAR location for the “cheek position” is located at the ear spacer region or corresponds to the earpiece region of the handset, the device is returned to the “initial ear position” by rotating it away from the mouth until the earpiece is in full contact with the ear spacer. Otherwise, the device is moved away from the cheek perpendicular to the line passes through both “ear reference points” for approximate 2-3cm. While it is in this position, the device is tilted away from the mouth with respect to the “test device reference point” by 15o. After the tilt, it is then moved back toward the head perpendicular to the line passes through both “ear reference point” until the device touches the phantom or the ear spacer. If the antenna touches the head first, the positioning process is repeated with a tilt angle less than 15o so that the device and its antenna would touch the phantom simultaneously. Figure 7.3 - Phone position 2, “tilted” position. SAR Report Page 15 of 20 Model: K33BIC-01

FCC ID: OVF-K33BIC01 9.1.4 Body Worn Configuration KWC body worn accessories were tested for the FCC RF exposure compliance. The device was positioned into the carrying case and placed below the flat phantom. Hands-free headset was connected during measurements. The SAR levels were also measured with 15mm air space for the hands-free application, which allow user to use other body-worn accessories that contains no metal and provides at least 15mm separation from the closest point of the handset to the body. 9.2 Scan Procedures First, coarse scans are used for a quick determination of the field distribution. Then an area scan measures all reachable points, it computes all of the field maxima found in the scanned area, within a range of 2dB as specified in IEEE P1528, (see the configuration below). For cases where multiple maxima were detected, the number of zoom scans could be increased accordingly. Next a cube scan, 7x7x7 points (spacing between each point is 5x5x5mm), is performed around the highest E-field value to determine the averaged SAR-distribution over 1g. If two peaks are within 2dB of the highest one, two zoom scans are performed to provide the evaluations. A fine resolution volume scan determines the one-gram average SAR for both peaks. 9.3 SAR Averaging Methods The maximum SAR value is average over its volume using interpolation and extrapolation. The interpolation of the points is done with a 3d-Spline. The 3d-Spline is composed of three one- dimensional splines with the “Not a knot” –condition [W. Gander, Computermathematik, p. 141-150] (x, y and z – directions) [numerical Recipes in C, Second Edition, p 123]. The extrapolation is based on least square algorithm [W. Gander, Computermathematik, p. 168-180]. Through the points in the first 30mm in all z-axis, polynomials of order four are calculated. This polynomial is then used to evaluate the points between the surface and the probe tip. The points, calculated from the surface, have a distance of 1mm from one another.
