18equipment, devices or systems that are involved with ensuring human life or safety. Panasonic cannot be held responsible in any way for any damages or loss resulting from the use of this unit in these types of equipment, devices or systems, etc. This product has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD, the leakage of liquid (e.g., water) on to the buttons, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be extremely careful in the handling of the product.For USA modelsFCC Part 15 informationThis product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.This product generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the product off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the product and receiver.• Connect the product to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.FCC cautionTo assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
19Introductionparty responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.This product complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:1.This product may not cause harmful interference, and2.This product must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.FCC RF exposure informationThis product meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This product is a radio transmitter and receiver. This product is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organization 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 handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.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 product as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.105 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.530 W/kg.For body-worn operation, this product has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a Panasonic accessory designated for this product and when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body.Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
20The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this product with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.SAR information on this product is on file with the FCC and can be found by searching for the product’s FCC ID number at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid. To find the FCC ID number for your product, first remove the battery pack. The FCC ID number is printed on the nameplate underneath.Wi-Fi useHigh power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.Using hearing aids with mobile devicesWhen some wireless mobile devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile devices, to assist hearing device users in finding mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices that are rated have the rating on their box or label located on the box.The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated mobile device successfully. Trying out the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.M-Ratings: Mobile devices rated M3 or M4 are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
21IntroductionT-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T-Coil Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated mobile devices. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that the hearing aid telecoil must be activated in order for it to function, and that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile devices.The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.Hearing aid compatibilityThis mobile device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this mobile device that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this mobile device thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this mobile device for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or mobile retailer.Responsible partyPanasonic Corporation of North AmericaTwo Riverfront Plaza, Newark, NJ 07102Support contact: http://www.panasonic.com/contactinfoDisposalUSA Only: Disposal may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations.For disposal or recycling information, please visit Panasonic website: http://www.panasonic.com/environmental or call 1-888-769-0149.
