Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Panasonic digital cellular phone. This phone is
designed to operate on GSM networks – GSM850 or GSM1900. It also supports
GPRS for packet data connections. Ensure the battery is fully charged before
use.
Safety Considerations
The following information should be read and understood as it provides details
which will enable you to operate your phone in a manner which is both safe to
you and your environment, and conforms to any legal requirements regarding
the use of cellular phones.
This equipment should only be charged with approved charging
equipment. Other usage will invalidate any approval given to
this apparatus and may be dangerous. The use of approved
charging equipment is recommended to ensure optimum
performance and avoid damage to your phone. Ensure the
voltage rating of the Fast Travel Charger is compatible with the
area of use when travelling abroad.
A Fast Travel Charger (EB-CAG60xx*) is supplied with the Main
Kit. Other recommended equipment for charging – Car Charger
(EB-CDG60).
Note* xx identifies the charger region, e.g. CN, EU, UK.
Use of a Battery Pack other than that recommended by the
manufacturer may result in safety hazard.
Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use of
cellular phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation
of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to the suspension or
denial of cellular phone services to the offender, or legal action
or both.

2 Introduction
IDo not incinerate or dispose of the battery as ordinary rubbish.
The battery must be disposed of in accordance with local
legislation and may be recycled.
It is advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. Users
are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress. Never expose the battery to
extreme temperatures (in excess of 60°C).
It is imperative that the driver exercises proper control of the
vehicle at all times. Do not hold a phone while you are driving;
find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a Handsfree
microphone if it will take your mind off the road. Always acquaint
yourself thoroughly with restrictions concerning the use of
cellular phones within the area you are driving and observe
them at all times.
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing
aids.
If you use the feature which keeps key backlight on
continuously for a long time, such as game or browser, battery
life will become extremely short. To maintain longer battery life,
set the key backlight off (see “Backlight time” on page 35).
For most efficient use, hold the phone as you would any normal
phone. To avoid deterioration of signal quality or antenna
performance, do not touch or “cup” the antenna area while the
phone is switched on. Do not leave the camera facing direct
sunlight to avoid impairing camera performance. Unauthorised
modifications or attachments may damage the phone and
violate applicable regulations. The use of an unapproved
modification or attachment may result in the invalidation of your
guarantee – this does not affect your statutory rights.

Introduction 3
When your handset, the accompanying battery or charging
accessories are wet, do not put those in any type of heating
equipment, such as a microwave oven, a high pressure

production technology, and in certain circumstances pixels may
appear brighter or darker. This is due to characteristics of the
LCD and is not a manufacturing defect.
This equipment should only be used with Panasonic approved
accessories to ensure optimum performance and avoid
damage to your phone. Panasonic is not responsible for
damage caused by using non-Panasonic approved
accessories.
This phone must be used in compliance with any applicable
international or national law or any special restrictions
governing its use in specified applications and environments.
This includes but is not limited to use in hospitals, aircraft, whilst
driving and any other restricted uses.
It is recommended that you create a copy or backup, as
appropriate, of any important information and data which you
store in your phone’s memory. In order to avoid accidental loss
of data, please follow all instructions relating to the care and
maintenance of your phone and its battery. Panasonic accepts
no liability for any and all losses howsoever arising from any
loss of data, including but not limited to direct and indirect
losses (to include, but not limited to consequential loss,
anticipated savings, loss of revenue).

6 Introduction
Care and Maintenance
Pressing any of the keys may produce a loud tone. Avoid holding
the phone close to the ear while pressing the keys.
Extreme temperatures may have a temporary effect on the
operation of your phone. This is normal and does not indicate a
fault.
If you use the phone for a long time in temperatures over 40°C, the
display quality may deteriorate.
Do not modify or disassemble the equipment. There are no user
serviceable parts.
Do not subject the equipment to excessive vibration or shock.
Do not drop the battery.
Avoid contact with liquids. If the equipment becomes wet
immediately remove the power and contact your dealer.
Do not leave the equipment in direct sunlight or a humid, dusty or
hot area. Never throw the battery into a fire. It may explode.
Keep metallic items that may accidentally touch the terminals away
from the equipment. Batteries can cause property damage, injury,
or burns if terminals are touched with a conductive material (for
example, metal, jewelry, keys, etc.)
Always charge the battery in a well ventilated area, not in direct
sunlight, between +5°C and +35°C. It is not possible to recharge
the battery if it is outside this temperature range.
When connecting the phone to an external source, read the opera-
ting instructions of the equipment for the correct connection and
safety precautions. Ensure the phone is compatible with the
product it is being connected to.
When disposing of any packing materials or old equipment check
with your local authorities for information on recycling.
