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 wire l ess 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 car d.
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. Even if you are within the coverage area of your wireless service

phone features are in use.
CALL REJECTED
Your phone displays Call Rejected under the following conditions:
1. Call was not able to c onnect to t he network (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 to o 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 suggestions in this section will help ensure safe an d 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 transmitt er and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofreque ncy (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits ar e part of comprehensive
guidelines and establis h permitted levels of RF energy for the general populat i on. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evalu ation 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 phone s employ s a unit of measure ment kno wn as the
Specific Abs orption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by t he F CC is 1. 6W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using st a ndar d opera tin g pos itions specif ied by t he F CC with th e p hone t ran smitt ing 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 rea ch the network . In gene ral, th e close r you are t o
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is availa ble for sale t o t he public , it mu st be te sted and c er tifie d to th e FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The test s 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. 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 upo n
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 go vernment 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 inf ormation on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and c an be found under the Display Grant s ection of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID NWJ10A008A.
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 typic al 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 ope rations 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 maint ain a 1.5 cm. sep ar ati on dis ta nce bet ween the user’s bod y 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 wit h FCC RF expos ure requirements, and should be avoi ded.
ANTENNA CARE
Do not use the phone with a damaged ant enna. 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 tele phone, with t he ante nna pointed up
and over your shoulder.
For Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficient l y, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenn a affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Safety F irst 3
DRIVING
Important: Check the laws and re gulations on the use of wireless 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 require.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipme nt is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electron ic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Associatio n recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 i nches (6 ”) o r 15 centimet ers (1 5 cm) b e mai nt ained bet ween a h and held wireles s
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• 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 digital wireless p hones may interfer e with some hearing aids. In the even t of
such interference, consult yo ur wireless service provider and hearing aid manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine 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 in health care facilit ies when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipme nt that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles: RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehi cle.
Posted Facilities: Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit 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: “Turn off two-way rad i o.” Obey all signs and instructions.
4 Safety First
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn 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 death.
Areas with a potentially explosi ve atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities ; v ehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or but ane); areas
where the air contains c hemicals 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 f orce. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area ov er the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly ins talled and the air bag inflates, se rious injury could result.
For U.S. Customers: Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (suc h as propane or butane) must
comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).

TEN (10) DRIVER SAFETY TIPS
Y our wirel ess teleph one gives you the p owerful abili ty t o communicate by voice-a lmost any where,
anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one tha t
every user m ust uphold.
When driving a car , driv ing is your fir st respon si bility. When using your wireless phone behind the
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 conditions. 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 before pullin g 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.
