Safety First

Your new phone is a convenient and effective communications tool, but it can be hazardous when used improperly. To avoid harming yourself or anyone else, please review the following information

Batteries

Batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if the terminals are touched with a conductive material (i.e., metal jewelry, keys, etc.). Therefore, use caution when handling a charged battery. Additional precautions and notes are listed below:

Never throw a battery into a fire; it may explode.

Fully recharge the battery if the battery is low or as soon as the low-battery alert beeps.

Do not drop the battery.

Do not bridge battery contacts together with metallic objects.

Do not remove the batt ery fr om the pho ne wh ile the phone i s powered on. Settings you have changed may revert to their previous settings.

before

using your phone.

Safety First

Charging Devices

Use only Genuine Panasonic charging accessories. Use of attachments not recommended by Panasonic or your wireless service provider may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury. Panasonic is not res ponsible for damages caused by using non-Panasonic accessories.

Do not expose charging adapters to moisture, water, or the weather.

Do not use an adapter with a damaged cord.

When using a DC adapter in an automobile, a small amount of electricity flows through the adapter, even if the phone is turned off. Remove the plug from the cigarette lighter whenever the pho ne will be le ft in the ve hicle for l ong period s of time.

The cigarette lighter must hav e a 12V negative ground socket. Do not use the adapter in a ve hi cl e that has a positive ground system .

Safety First 1

OI.book Page 2 Wednesday, November 8, 2000 3:30 PM

Chapter 1

General

Do not use the phone in extreme temperature or humi di ty.

The specified operating temperature range is -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C).

Do not attempt to disass embl e the pho ne. Ther e are no user-

serviceable parts inside. Do not expose the phone to rain or spill liquids on it.

Do not carry the phone by holding the antenna.

Do not use any accessories other than those designed for

use with your phone. Use of attachments not recommende d or sold by you r

wireless service provider may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.

Panasonic cannot be held responsible for damages caused

by using non-Panasonic accessories.

Availab ility of Service

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless 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 emergencies). When operating in analog mode, the service area where you can place and receive calls will be smaller than with other phones.

2 Safety First

Emergency (911) Service

If you need to make an emergency (911) call, power the phone on, dial 911, and press . If you have stored the numbers 911 in memory location number 9, simply press and hold 9, and the emergency call will be placed. Emergency calls can be made regardless of lock setting. Remember, to make or receive any call, the phone must be switched on and in a service area that has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network service and/or phone features are in use.

Safety Tips

Following the suggestions 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 emission limits

OI.book Page 3 Wednesday, November 8, 2000 3:30 PM

for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests 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

1.49W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is .93W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon 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 government 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 information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid

after searching on FCC ID

NWJ10A002A. 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

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by

the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Chapter 1

Safety First 3

OI.book Page 4 Wednesday, November 8, 2000 3:30 PM

Chapter 1

All Panasonic branded accessories are tested and comply with FCC RF exposure requirements. Non-Panasonic accessories may not comply.

Body-worn operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear your wireless phone on your body while on a voice or data call, always place the phone in a Panasonic supplied or approved carry accessory. Use of non-Panasonic approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Antenna Care

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 telephone, with the antenna 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.

4 Safety First

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

• 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.

OI.book Page 5 Wednesday, November 8, 2000 3:30 PM

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers:

•

recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (6”) or 15 centimeters (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with th e pa cemaker . Th es e re co mm end ati ons a r e consistent with ind ependent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS ke ep t he p hone more than six inches fro m their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use t he ea r o ppo si te the pacemaker t o minimize the

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 radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive 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 explosive 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; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

6 Safety First

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If invehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

For U.S. Customers:

Consumer Update

Consumer Update on Mobile Phones

(Published by U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, October 20, 1999.)

FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summariz es what is know n--a nd what rem ain s unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can b e do ne to minimize any potential ri sk . Thi s information may be used to respond to questions.

Why the concern?

Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF), considered no n-sign ificant, when in the stan d-by mode . It is well known that hi gh l eve ls of R F c an prod uc e bi olo gical damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). Ho wever, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health ef fects as well . Although some res earch has been done to addres s these questio ns, no clear pi cture of the biologic al effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolu tely safe, or tha t t hey a re uns afe. Ho wev er, the available scientific evidence does not health effects associated with the use of mobile phones.

demonstrate any adverse

Appendix C: Consumer Update

What kind of phones are in question?

Questions have be en rais ed about hand-held mobil e p hon es , th e kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user’s head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone’s antenna — the primary sourc e of the RF — and the person’s head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the ante nna is loca ted at greate r dista nces from t he use r (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called “cordless phones", which h ave a ba se unit conne cted to

OI.book Page 90 Wednesday, November 8, 2000 3:35 PM

Appendix C

the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.

How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful?

Briefly , t here is not en ough e viden ce to know for su re, eith er way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobi le phones ha ve yielded conflicting res ults. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously — up to 22 hours per day. For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supp orted resear ch into th e safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit additional study:

1 In a hospital-based, case-control study , researchers looked for an

association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less than three years.

When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an association was found between mobile phone use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.
