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
before
review the following information
using your phone.
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:
1
2
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.
3
4
5
Do not drop the battery.
Do not bridge battery contacts together with metallic objects.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while the phone is
powered on. Settings you have changed may revert to their
previous settings.
Charging Devices
1
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 responsible for damages caused
by using non-Panasonic accessories.
2
Do not expose charging adapters to moisture, water, or the
weather.
3
4
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 phone will be left in the vehicle for long periods
of time.
The cigarette lighter must have a 12V negative
ground socket.
Do not use the adapter in a vehicle that has a
positive ground system.
Safety First

Chapter 1
General
1
Do not use the phone in extreme temperature or humidity.
The specified operating temperature range is -22°F to
+140°F (-30°C to +60°C).
2
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
3
4
5
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.
6
7
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by your
wireless service provider may result in fire, electrical shock,
or injury.
Panasonic cannot be held responsible for damages caused
by using non-Panasonic accessories.
Availability of Service
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio sig-
nals, 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
. 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
2
Safety First
Chapter 1
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 per-
mitted 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 speci-
fied by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest cer-
tified 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.
Safety First

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.
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.

Safety First
Chapter 1
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
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 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 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 they are 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.

Chapter 1
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.
