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. If no SIM card is installed, press SOS, then

press Yes. 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.

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 0.982 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in the “Body –Worn Operation” section, is 0.364 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
