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.
