Body-worn operation, Antenna Care, Driving

Chapter 1

tested for use at the ear is 1.51W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.747W/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 NWJ10A003A.

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

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

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 recommendsthat 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.
