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 review the following
information before using your phone.
BATTERIES
Batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if the terminals are touched with a
conductive material (for example, metal jewelry, keys, and so on). Therefore, use caution when
handling a charged battery. Additional precautions and notes are listed below:
• 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.
• Do not drop the battery.
• Do not allow bridging of battery contacts 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.
A recyclable lithium ion/polymer battery powers your phone. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle the battery.
CHARGING DEVICES
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 damage caused by using non-Panasonic accessories.
• Do not expose charging adapters to moisture, water, or the weather.
• 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.
• Always charge the battery in a well ventilated area, not in direct sunlight, between 41°F (5°C)
and 95°F (35°C). It is not possible to recharge the battery if it is outside this temperature
range.
• Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery as ordinary trash. The battery must be disposed of
in accordance with local legislation and may be recycled.
Caution: The cigarette lighter must have a 12V negative ground socket. Do not use the adapter
in a vehicle that has a positive ground system.
GENERAL
• 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).
• Extreme temperatures may have a temporary effect on the operation of your phone. This is
normal and does not indicate a fault.
• Do not expose the phone (particularly the display) to direct sunlight for extended periods of
time or to a humid, dusty or hot area.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not subject the equipment to excessive vibration or shock.
• Do not expose the phone to rain or spill liquids on it. If the equipment becomes wet
immediately remove the battery and charging device and contact your dealer.
• Do not carry the phone by holding the antenna.
2 Safety First

• Use of attachments not recommended or sold 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.
• Pressing any of the keys may produce a loud tone. Avoid holding the phone close to the ear
while pressing the keys.
• Keep metallic items that may accidentally touch the battery terminals away from the
equipment. Battery damage may occur.
• When disposing of any packing materials or old equipment check with your local authorities for
information on recycling.
• If connecting the phone to an external source, read the operating instructions of the equipment
for the correct connection and safety precautions.
• If connecting the phone to an external source, verify that the phone is compatible with the
product to which you are connecting it.
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).
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 and with or without a SIM card.
Remember, to make or receive any call, the phone must be switched on and in a service area that
has adequate signal strength. Even if you are within the coverage area of your wireless service
provider, you may be in an area with insufficient signal strength to place a 911 call. 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.
Safety First 3
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 0.260 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.445 W/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 NWJ22A001A.
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
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the carry case model:
EB-YKX70, which provides 3.0 cm. separation distance from the body. This device was also
tested for body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar
accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of
the phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
ANTENNA CARE
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. 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.
4 Safety First
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 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, consult your wireless service provider and hearing aid manufacturer.
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.
Safety First 5
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).

TEN (10) DRIVER SAFETY TIPS
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice-almost anywhere,
anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that
every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the
wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands free device. If possible, add an additional layer of
convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless
phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do"
list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number
in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call
9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance
number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency
wireless number.
"The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving."
