Panasonic EB-GD67 User Manual

Operating Instructions EB-GD67 Digital Cellular Phone

Before operating this equipment please read these instructions completely.

Important Information

We, Matsushita Mobile Communications Development of Europe Ltd, declare, that the EB-GD67 conforms with the essential and other relevant requirements of the directive 1999/5/EC. A declaration of conformity to this effect can be found at http://www.panasonicmobile.com/support

Safety Considerations

The following information should be read and understood as it provides details which will enable you to operate your phone in a manner which is both safe to you and your environment, and conforms to any legal requirements regarding the use of cellular phones.

This equipment should only be charged with approved charging equipment. Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous. The use of approved charging equipment is recommended to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to your phone. Ensure the voltage rating of the Fast Travel Charger is compatible with the area of use when travelling abroad.

A Fast Travel Charger (EB-CAD95xx*) is supplied with the Main Kit. Other recommended equipment for charging -Car Charger (EB-CDD95)

Note* xx identifies the Charger region, e.g. CN, EU, HK, UK.

Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use of cellular phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and may be illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular phone services to the offender, or legal action or both.

Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery as ordinary rubbish. The battery must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation and may be recycled.

Important Information

It is advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Never expose the battery to extreme temperatures (in excess of 60°C).

It is imperative that the driver exercises proper control of the vehicle at all times. Do not hold a phone while you are driving; find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a Handsfree microphone if it will take your mind off the road. Always acquaint yourself thoroughly with restrictions concerning the use of cellular phones within the area you are driving and observe them at all times.

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

For most efficient use hold the phone as you would any normal phone. Your GD67 cellular phone is fitted with an internal antenna, located in the upper portion of the phone, above the display screen. To avoid deterioration of signal quality or antenna performance, do not touch or "cup" the antenna area while the phone is switched on. (See "SAR Statement" page iii) Unauthorized modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate applicable regulations. The use of an unapproved modification or attachment may result in the invalidation of your guarantee – this does not affect your statutory rights.

This Panasonic mobile phone is designed, manufactured and tested to ensure that it complies with the specifications covering RF exposure guidelines applicable at the time of manufacture, in accordance with EU, USA FCC, and Australian ACA regulations; or as specifically stated in the separate declaration leaflet enclosed with this product.

Please refer to our website for latest information/standards compliance in your country/region of use.

SAR Statement

European union - RTTE

THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-GD67) MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions 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 base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The SAR value for this model phone, when tested for use at the ear, for compliance against the standard was

0.505 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.

* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at
