Safety first
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.
BatteriesBatteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if the terminals are touched with a 
conductive material (for example, metal jewellery, 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

Charging devicesUse only Genuine Panasonic charging accessories. Use of attachments not recommended 
by Panasonic or your 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.

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 D.
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 
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.
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 0.626 W/kg. 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 
NWJ22B001A.
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.

Safety firstAntenna 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.
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 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 areasTo 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. 
For U.S. Customers: Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) 
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).

Safety firstTen (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 wirelessy
phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at any
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 primaryy
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!y
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.”
