Introduction

Protecting your data

• To prevent accidental loss of data, we recommend that you regularly back up any important data that

you store in the product, SIM card, and SD card.

• To prevent the unintended disclosure of private information, always confirm the destination before

sending messages, file attachments, or any other communications, such as email.

• To prevent the unintended disclosure of sensitive information stored in the product or the SD card, we

recommend using the product’s encryption feature (page 27).

• Before disposing of the product or handing the product over to a third party, remove the SIM card, SD

card, and any other accessories.

• Before disposing of the product or handing the product over to a third party, perform a factory data reset

(page 49) to erase any data stored in the product.

• Before using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth features, take appropriate action to secure your data.

Waterproof/dustproof

• The product is waterproof/dustproof when the interface cover is closed, and the battery is attached.

Therefore, keep water and dust away from product’s internal components, accessories, and optional
products.

• To prevent liquids, sand, dust, or any foreign objects from entering the product, always keep the battery

cover and battery clean and make sure to firmly close the cover after opening. Take care not to get
anything caught between the cover or battery and the product.

• If the product is exposed to water droplets, wipe them off with a dry, soft cloth and shake the product to

remove the water droplets, then dry thoroughly.

• Do not leave any water droplets on the product. Water droplets may cause the micro USB port or headset

jack to short circuit, or create smears on the screen.

• If the product is wet, wipe off the moisture before connecting with peripheral devices.

• Do not dry the product with an appliance or heat source such as a microwave oven or dryer.

• Use the optional charger while dry and do not use it in places with water such as bathrooms because it

is not waterproof/dustproof.

Maintenance

• When cleaning the product, make sure to turn it off.

• When cleaning the product, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. An alcohol-based disinfectant may be used if

necessary.

– If the product is particularly dirty, thoroughly wring a cloth soaked in water, wipe off the dirt, and then

wipe with a dry cloth.

– Do not clean the product with solvents such as benzene, thinner, or strong alkaline detergent because

they may affect the surface of the product.

Battery

• The battery is a consumable item. Depending on the usage conditions, it may swell as it reaches the

end of its life. When the typical battery life of approximately one year or about 500 charge cycles is
exceeded, the battery deteriorates. If the battery begins to swell, or the amount of time it can be used
after a full charge becomes dramatically shorter, the battery should be replaced with a new one. Contact
your technical support representative.

• Do not touch the terminals of the battery. Failure to observe this may cause poor contact.

• When the battery is left installed in the product, it discharges electricity gradually in small amounts even

if the product’s power is off. If left for a long period (several months or more), the battery will over
discharge and its performance may deteriorate.

• Store the battery in environments with an ambient temperature of -20 °C to 35 °C (-4 °F to 95 °F). If the

battery is stored in other environments, battery performance and battery life may be reduced.

• When storing or transporting the battery, make sure that the battery’s terminals do not become dirty and

that no foreign objects or debris become attached to the battery’s terminals.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rates)

This product is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and transmits RF energy. When
you are on a phone call, the system handling your call controls the power level at which the product
transmits. This product is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this product when tested at the ear is XXXX
W/kg (for models supporting cellular transmission) and XXXX W/kg (for models supporting Wi-Fi
transmission only)*1.
For body-worn operation, this product has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with
a Panasonic accessory designated for this product and when used with an accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 5 mm from the body.
In this case, the highest tested SAR value is XXXX W/kg (for models supporting cellular transmission) and
XXXX W/kg (for models supporting Wi-Fi transmission only). Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines. As SAR is measured utilizing the product's highest transmitting
power the actual SAR of this product while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the product to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to
reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need
for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to keep the mobile device
away from the head and body.
