General
1Do 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).
2Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
3Do not expose the phone to rain or spill liquids on it.
4Do not carry the phone by holding the antenna.
5Do not use any accessories other than those designed for
use with your phone.
6Use of attachments not recommended or sold by your
wireless service provider may result in fire, electrical shock,
or injury.
7Panasonic cannot be held responsible for damages caused
by using non-Panasonic accessories.
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

calls can be made regardless of lock setting.
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 tested for use at the ear is
1.49W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is .91W/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.
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.
* 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.

4 Safety First
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.
