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.

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

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.
