Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of one of the world’s most technologically advanced mobile communications systems! Your new Panasonic phone combines the advantages of digital and analog coverage with a variety of time-saving and easy-to-use features. The result: a phone that offers real convenience, dependability, and mobility—in digital and analog service areas. About This Manual This manual contains comprehensive instructions for each of your phone’s features.
Chapter 8: System Settings Chapter 8 contains information about the features on the System Setting menu. This information is provided primarily for technically knowledgeable users. Reference Information: Appendix A: Before Requesting Help As you begin to take advantage of your phone’s features, you may experience minor problems. However, you can easily fix most of these problems. This chapter contains a detailed list of solutions to some of the problems you may encounter.
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.
Chapter 1 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). When operating in analog mode, the service area where you can place and receive calls will be smaller than with other phones.
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.
Chapter 1 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.
Getting Started This chapter gets you started using your phone and learning its basic features and functions. Note: Do not modify or disassemble the handset. Do not pull or twist the antenna as doing so may loosen the connection and/or damage the antenna. Battery Use Note: The battery must be fully charged before using your phone for the first time.

Chapter 2 Recharging Tips • • • • Recharge batteries in a well-ventilated area between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). Temperature may slightly affect charging time.
