AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wi reless 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 emerg encies).
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 an y call, the pho ne must be s witched on an d in a service ar ea that
has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not be pos sible on all wireless phone
networks or when ce rtain network service and/or phone features are in use.
CALL REJECTED
Your phone displays Call Rejected under the following conditions:
1. Call was no t a ble to conne ct t o t he net work ( no c ir cui ts ava ilabl e, no sig nal availab le o r ou t o f
service area).
2. Battery charge level is too low (recharge battery).
3. Your calling plan is expired, depleted or has reached its preset limit.
Note: Emergency (911) Service is still available.
SAFETY TIPS
Following the suggesti ons 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 emis sion limits for expo sure to radiofreque ncy (RF) energy set by the Fe deral
Communications Commission of the U.S. Gove rnment. These limits ar e part of comprehens i ve
guidelines and establish permit ted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations thr ough
periodic and th orough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardl ess of age and health.
2 Safe ty First
The exposure stan dard for wireless mobile phone s employ s a unit of measure ment kno wn as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using st a ndar d opera tin g pos itions sp ecif ied by t he F CC with th e phon e t ran smitt ing at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest ce rtified power level, the ac tual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phon e is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power req uired to rea ch the net work. I n general, th e closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna , the lower the power output.
Before a phone mod el is availa ble for sale t o the pu blic, it mu st be test ed and c ertif ie d to th e FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. T he tests are per formed in positions and locations (e.g ., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the F CC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.982 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.364 W/ kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available acce ssories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various posit ions, 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 complian ce with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on t his
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be foun d under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after sear ching on FCC ID NWJ10A008A.
Additional inf ormation on Specific Absorpti on Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellu lar
Te lecommu n icati ons Indust r y Associatio n (CTIA ) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com
Caution: All Panasonic brande d accessories are tested and comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements. Non-Panasonic accessories may not comply.
.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
This device was te st ed for typical body-worn operations using the carry case model:
EB-YKD87, 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-cl ips, holsters or si milar
accessori es that maintain a 1.5 cm. sep ar ati on dist a nce bet ween the us er’s body and the back of
the phone, incl uding the antenna. Th e 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 appr oved
replacement antenna. Unauthoriz ed antennas, modifications, or att achments cou l d damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other tele phone, with t he 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.
Safe ty Firs t 3
DRIVING
Important: Check th e laws and regulations on the use of wir eless 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 conditions so req uire.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electr onic equipment is shielded f rom RF signals. However, certai n electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireles s phone.
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 i nches (6 ”) o r 15 ce ntimet ers (1 5 cm) b e mai nta ined bet ween a h and held wirele s s
phone and a pac emaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pac emak ers:
• 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 digita l wireless p hones may interfer e with some hearing aids. In the even t of
such interference, consult your wireless service provider and heari ng aid manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices: If you use any ot her personal medical dev ice, consult the manufacturer
of your device to det ermine 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 i n health care facilit ies when any regulations posted in these 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 in adequately shielded electr onic syste ms
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufa ct urer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities: Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so requ ire.
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations p r ohibit 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: “Tu r n off two-way radi o.” Obey all signs and instructions.
4 Safe ty First
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Tu rn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explos ive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even deat h.
Areas with a potent ially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gas st ations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; vehicle s using liquefied pet roleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air co ntains chemicals o r partic les, such as grain, dus t or metal powders; an d any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR BAG
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT pl ace objects, including both insta lled or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly instal led and the air bag inflates, se rious injury could result.
For U.S. Customers: Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must
comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).

TEN (10) DRIVER SAFETY TIPS
Your wire less te lephone giv es you the p owerful ability t o communic ate by voic e-almost anywhere,
anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that
every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is you r fir st respon sibilit y. When using your wireless phone behind 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 condit ions. 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 befor e pulling 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.
