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.

Safety F i rst 3

DRIVING

Important: Check the laws and re gulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where

you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving:

• Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first responsibility;

• Use handsfree operation, if available;

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving condit i ons so require.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Most modern electronic equipme nt is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 i nches (6 ”) o r 15 centimet ers (1 5 cm) b e mai nt ained bet ween a h and held wireles s
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pac emaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendat ions 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 interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF
immediately.

Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless p hones may interfer e with some hearing aids. In the even t of
such interference, consult yo ur wireless service provider and hearing aid manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, cons ult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is 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 wh en any regulations posted in th ese 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 representative 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 in the air; switch off your phone before boarding
an aircraft unless otherwise advised by airline personnel.

BLASTING AREAS

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
other areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all si gns and instructions.

TEN (10) DRIVER SAFETY TIPS

Y our wirel ess teleph one gives you the p owerful abili ty t o communicate by voice-a lmost any where,
anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that
every user m ust uphold.

When driving a car , driv ing is your fir st respon si bility. When using your wireless phone behi nd th e
wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. If

available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.

2. When available, use a hands free device. If possible, add an additional layer of

convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless

phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do"

list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not

moving or before pullin g into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.

Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number

in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto

accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call
9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance

number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency
wireless number.
