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 47.
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.

Safety First
Chapter 1
tested for use at the ear is 1.500W/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
after searching on FCC ID NWJ10A007A.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at
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
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
Important:
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 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.
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.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
For U.S. Customers:
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association,
