may cause electric shock and/or excessive
heat resulting in a fire.
R Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the
AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from
the power outlet, then wiping with a dry
cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an
insulation defect from moisture, etc.
resulting in a fire.
R Unplug the product from power outlets if it
emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes
an unusual noise. These conditions can
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an
authorised service centre.
R Unplug from power outlets and never touch
the inside of the product if its casing has
been broken open.
R Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
R The AC adaptor should only be used

These symbols are only valid in the European
Union. If you wish to discard these items,
please contact your local authorities or dealer
and ask for the correct method of disposal.
SAR
This model meets international guidelines and
EU requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed radio
wave exposure limits recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientific
organisation ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
These guidelines also form the basis of
international regulations and standards on RF
Exposure.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices is
2 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this device
tested at the ear was 0.580 W/kg. The highest
SAR value for this device tested on the body
was 1.006 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices
highest transmitting power the actual SAR of
this unit while operating is typically below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum level required
to communicate with the network. ICNIRP

A SIM card (not supplied) allows the handset to connect to a mobile phone service. Consult your
mobile phone service provider for more information.
A microSD card (not supplied) allows you to expand the handset’s storage capabilities.
Important:
R When removing the battery, make sure you turn off the handset first.
R To avoid loss of data or malfunction, do not damage, carelessly handle, or short-circuit the
gold-coloured contacts of the SIM card or microSD card.
Remove the handset’s cover.
Position the SIM card with the
gold-coloured contacts facing down, and
then carefully slide the SIM card all the
way into the SIM card slot.
Open the microSD card cover by sliding it
toward the nearest side of the handset
(A) and then lifting up (B).

Information about power and charging
AC adaptor connection
R The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm
during use.)
R The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do
not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may
cause it to become disconnected.
Power failure
R The unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a corded-type
telephone (without AC adaptor) to the same telephone line or to the same telephone line
socket using a telephone double adaptor (for Australia)/a BT double adaptor (for New
Zealand).
Battery use and replacement
R Use only the supplied battery. For replacement, use only the Panasonic rechargeable battery
noted on page 3.
R The battery might swell when its life is close to an end. This is dependent on the usage
