Chapter 1
Availability 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.
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.
Note: When you purchase your phone, the
key is programmed
as a Super Dial key to call the emergency number 911. However, you
have to enable this key assignment before you can use it. See
“Emergency Call” on page 57.
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 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
*
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.
2
Safety First
Chapter 1
tested for use at the ear is 1.51W/kg and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.747W/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 NWJ10A003A.
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
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.
Driving
Important: 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:
•
•
•
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 equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
•
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommendsthat 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 the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Safety First
3
Chapter 1
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 phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider.
•
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 facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment 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 vehicle.
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 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.
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 in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
For U.S. Customers: Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association,
One Batterymarch Park,
PO Box 9101, Quincy, MA 02269.

Phonebook Features
The Phonebook has 250 memory locations. In each location you can store
a first and last name, up to four associated phone numbers, an email
address, picture, and a distinctive ring tone. You can also associate a
backlight color with the entry. If a caller’s phone number matches an entry
in the Phonebook, the corresponding name is displayed and the backlight
changes color (if you have specified a different color than the standby color
in that caller’s Phonebook entry.)
ꢄ
This chapter contains information about creating, saving, searching, and
accessing your Phonebook entries. For an overview of how to move
through the menus and use the shortcut keys, see Chapter 2, “Getting
Started” and the Menu Map on the inside of the front cover.
Customizing Your Phonebook
You may find it easier to create Phonebook entries on your PC using a
synchronization software application (such as FoneSync™) and then
download them to your phone via a data cable. (See “EB-TX310
Accessories” on page 79 for information on ordering a data cable and
other accessories.)
From the Panasonic website, http://www.panasonic-club.com , you can
download the Mobile Media Manager which provides additional picture
alerts and special rings for Phonebook entries. These pictures and
melodies let you create unique rings and displays for your phone.

Voice Commands
You can record up to 40 voice commands to call numbers in your
Phonebook and to perform other actions without having to press any keys.
This feature lets you place calls, change phone settings, such as turning
vibration alert on or off, and go to a specific place in a menu, simply by
speaking a command.
Note: Before you can use voice commands, you must record and
“program” them.
You should be able to record your commands by following the
audible and visual prompts on the phone.
Tips for Recording Voice Commands
Here are some tips to help you record your commands:
•
The best way to record your commands is by using the Private

The microphone in the Private Handsfree Headset picks up your
commands clearly from its hanging position.

Security Options
The Security Options menu allows you to place restrictions on several of
your phone’s functions. Options include locking specific features, limiting
the types of calls that can be placed and received, and setting your phone
so that it automatically locks whenever powered off. A lock code is
necessary to activate these features. Panasonic recommends changing
the preset lock code, which is in effect when you purchase your phone, to a
code of your own.
Tip: If you ever misplace or forget your lock code — and your
phone is locked — contact your wireless service provider.
Note: Remember that emergency (911) calls can be placed
from your phone even when security features are selected and
activated.

such as members of a team at work, family members, or friends with
similar interests. Each group list can have up to five members and you can
have a total of five group lists. You have to assign a name to your group list
first and then add members from your Phonebook entries.
Remember, that you must create your Phonebook entries before you can
select them for a group list. Once you have created a group list, you can
add or delete members, delete the entire group list, and send a message
to a group.
Note: When you send a message to a group list, the message is

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 summarizes what is known--and what remains
unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done
to minimize any potential risk. This 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 non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that
high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects (this is how your
microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or
through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well.
Although some research has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of the
biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science
does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are
unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health
effects associated with the use of mobile phones.
What kind of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the 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 source of the RF — and the person’s head. The exposure to
RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user
(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 have a base unit connected to 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 harm-
ful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either 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 mobile phones have
yielded conflicting results. 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 supported
research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings in
particular that merit additional study:
Consumer Update 81
Appendix C
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
1
and repeatability of these results.
2
Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effect of exposure to
mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of
abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and
structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests
showed any effect from the RF except for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural
effects on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to
simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that
exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known
to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to occur. The data
already in the literature on the response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting.
2
Thus, follow-up research is necessary.
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and academic groups to ensure the
proper follow-up to these industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA
providing research recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research
based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature:
1
Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory
conditions while they performed cognitive function test. There were no changes in the
subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they
were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to
simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change noted among more than 20
3
variables compared.
2
In study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls, there was no increased risk of
brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations,
however, they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the mobile phone was
used. Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased likelihood was
4
too small to be statistically significant.
In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that
there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile
phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and
industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the
outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
What is known about cases of human cancer that have been reported in
users of handheld mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed with brain cancer. But
it is important to understand that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have
not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of
about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users
of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800
cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million people,
whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any
82 Consumer Update
Appendix C
individual’s cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have happened
anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater
among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population. One way to
answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones among people with brain
cancer with the use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain
cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current case-control study of brain cancers
by the National Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by
industry, will begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products
such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit
radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the
manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace
or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA
has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety.
The agency has recommended that the industry:
•
•
•
support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by mobile
phones;
design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not
necessary for device function; and
cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on what is
known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a
coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
•
•
•
•
•
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Health and Safety Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk, what
can concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not know that there is — it
is probably very small. But if people are concerned about avoiding even potential risks,
there are simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how
much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periods of time on their
hand-held mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on conventional
phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations
when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could switch to
a type of mobile phone that places more distance between their bodies and the source of
the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they
could switch to
•
a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle,
•
a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna mounted on the
outside of the car or built into a separate package, or
•
a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people
are concerned about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
