SAFETY FIRST

Y our new phone is a convenient and ef fec tive communic ations to ol, but it can be haz ardous when
used improperly. To avoid harming yourself or anyone els e, please review the following
information before us ing your phone.

BATTERIES

Batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if the terminals are touched with a
conductive material (for example, metal jewelry, keys, and so on). Therefore, use caut ion when
handling a charged battery. Additiona l precautions and notes are listed below:

• Never throw a battery into a fi re; it may explode.

• Fully recharge the batter y if the battery is low or as soon as the low-battery alert beeps.

• Do not drop the battery.

• Do not allow bridging of battery contacts with metallic objects.

• Do not remove the battery f r om the phone while the phone is powered on. Settings you have
changed may revert to their previous settings.

A recyclable lithium ion/polymer battery powers your phone. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle the battery.

CHARGING DEVICES

Use only Genuine Panasonic charging accessories. Use of attachments not recommended by
Panasonic or your wireless service provider may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.
Panasonic is not responsi ble for damage caused by using non-Panasonic ac cessories.

• Do not expose charging adap ters to moisture, water, or the weather.

• Do not use an adapter with a damaged c ord.

• When using a DC adapter in an automobile, a small amount of electricity flows through the
adapter, even if the phone is turned off. Remo ve the plug from the cigarette lighter whenever
the phone will be left in the vehicle for long periods of time.

• Always charge the battery in a well ventilated area, not in direct sunlight, between 41°F (5°C)
and 95°F (35°C). It is not possi ble to recharge the battery if it is outside this temperature
range.

• Do not incinerate or disp ose of the battery as ordinary trash. The battery must be disposed of
in accordance with local legislation and may be recycled.

Caution: The cigarette lighter must have a 12V negative ground socket. Do not use the adapter
in a vehicle that has a positive ground system.

GENERAL

• Do not use the phone in extreme temperature or humidity . The specified operating
temperature range is -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C).

• Extreme temperatures may ha ve a temporary effect on the operation of your phone. This is
normal and does not indicate a fault.

• Do not expose the phone (particularly the display) to direc t s unlight for extended periods of
time or to a humid, dusty or hot ar ea.

• Do not attempt to disassemb le the phone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Keep metallic items that may accidentally touch the battery terminals away from the
equipment. Battery damage may occur.

• When disposing of any p acking mate rials o r old equi pment check with your local authorit ies for
information on recycling.

• If connecting the ph one to an exter nal sourc e, read t he opera ting inst ruction s of th e equipmen t

AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this, co nnection in all conditions cannot
be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical emergencies).

EMERGENCY (911) SERVICE

If you need to make an emergency (911) call, power the phone on, dial 911, and press .
Emergency calls can be made regardle ss of lock setting and with or without a SIM card.

Remember, to make or receive an y call, the pho ne must be s witched on and in a s ervice ar ea that
has adequate signal strength. Even if you are within the coverage area of your wireless service
provider, you may be in an area with insufficient signal strength to place a 911 call. Emergency
calls might not be possible on all wireless phone net works or when cert ain netw ork service and/ or
phone features are in use.

SAFETY TIP S

Following the suggestions in this section will help ensure safe an d efficient operation of your
Panasonic phone.

This Model Phone Meets The Government’s Requirements For Exposure To Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiv er. It is designed and manufac tured not to

exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establis h permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent sci entific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substanti al safety
margin designed to assure the s afety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

2 Safety F irst

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phone s employ s a unit of measure ment kno wn as the
Specific Abs orption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/k g. Tests for SAR are
conducted using st a ndar d opera tin g pos itions specif ied by t he F CC with th e p hone t ran smitt ing at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 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 rea ch the network . In gene ral, th e close r you are t o
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is availa ble for sale t o t he public , it mu st be te sted and c er tifie d to th e FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The test s are performed in positions and locati ons (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.260 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.445 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available 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.

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 inf ormat i on on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant sectio n of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID NWJ22A001A.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Associa tion (CTIA ) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com

Caution: All Panasonic branded accessories are tested and comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements. Non-Panasonic accessories may not comply.

BODY-WORN OPERATION

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the carry case model:
EB-YKX70, which provides 3.0 cm. separation distance from the body. This device was also
tested for body-worn ope rations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clip s, holsters or similar
accessories that maint ain a 1.5 cm. sep ar ati on dis ta nce bet ween the user’s bod y and the back of
the phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly . The u se of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided .

ANTENNA CARE

Do not use the phone with a damaged ant enna. Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.

PHONE OPERATION

Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other tele phone, with the ante nna pointed up

and over your shoulder.
For Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antenna

unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
