SAFETY FIRST

Your new phone is a convenient and effective communications tool, but it can be hazardous when used improperly. To avoid harming yourself or anyone else, please review the following information before using 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 caution when handling a charged battery. Additional precautions and notes are listed below:

•Never throw a battery into a fire; it may explode.

•Fully recharge the battery 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 from 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 responsible for damage caused by using non-Panasonic accessories.

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

•Do not use an adapter with a damaged cord.

•When using a DC adapter in an automobile, a small amount of electricity flows through the adapter, even if the phone is turned off. Remove 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 possible to recharge the battery if it is outside this temperature range.

•Do not incinerate or dispose 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 have 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 direct sunlight for extended periods of time or to a humid, dusty or hot area.

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

•Do not subject the equipment to excessive vibration or shock.

•Do not expose the phone to rain or spill liquids on it. If the equipment becomes wet immediately remove the battery and charging device and contact your dealer.

•Do not carry the phone by holding the antenna.

Safety First 1

•Do not use any accessories other than those designed for use with your phone.

•Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Panasonic or your wireless service provider may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.

•Panasonic is not responsible for damages caused by using non-Panasonic accessories.

•Pressing any of the keys may produce a loud tone. Avoid holding the phone close to the ear while pressing the keys.

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

•When disposing of any packing materials or old equipment check with your local authorities for information on recycling.

•If connecting the phone to an external source, read the operating instructions of the equipment for the correct connection and safety precautions.

•If connecting the phone to an external source, verify that the phone is compatible with the product to which you are connecting it.

AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this, connection 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 regardless of lock setting and with or without a SIM card.

Remember, to make or receive any call, the phone must be switched on and in a service area 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 networks or when certain network service and/or phone features are in use.

SAFETY TIPS

Following the suggestions in this section will help ensure safe and 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 receiver. It is designed and manufactured 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 establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

2 Safety First

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting 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 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. 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 information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section 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 Association (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 operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance between the user’s body 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 use 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 antenna. 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 telephone, with the antenna 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.
