PRELIMINARY

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 bridge battery contacts together 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.

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).
Do not expose the phone (particularly the display) to direct sunlight

•

for extended periods of time.
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no

•

user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not expose the phone to rain or spill liquids on it.

•

Do not carry the phone by holding the antenna.

•

Do not use any accessories other than those designed for use with

•

your phone.
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by your wireless

•

service provider may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.
Panasonic cannot be held responsible for damages caused by using

•

non-Panasonic accessories.

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). When
operating in analog mode, the service area where you can place and
receive calls will be smaller than with other phones.

Emergency (911) Service

If you need to make an emergency (911) call, power the phone on, dial
911, and press SEND. Emergency calls can be made regardless of
lock setting.

Note: When you purchase your phone, the 9 key is programmed as a
Super Dial key to call the emergency number 911. However, you have
to enable this key assignment before you can use it.

Remember, to make or receive any call, the phone must be switched
on and in a service area that has adequate signal strength. 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.

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 0.682 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.757 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.
