Safety First 3The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR areconducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting atits highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined atthe highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be wellbelow the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple powerlevels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are toa 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 FCCthat it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on thebody) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone whentested for use at the ear is 0.982 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this userguide, is 0.364 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SARlevels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement forsafe exposure.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SARlevels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on thismodel 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 NWJ10A008A.Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the CellularTelecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.Caution: All Panasonic branded accessories are tested and comply with FCC RF exposurerequirements. Non-Panasonic accessories may not comply.BODY-WORN OPERATIONThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the carry case model:EB-YKD87, which provides 3.0 cm. separation distance from the body. This device was alsotested for body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. Tomaintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similaraccessories that maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back ofthe phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories shouldnot contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy theserequirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.ANTENNA CAREDo not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Use only the supplied or an approvedreplacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage thephone and may violate FCC regulations.PHONE OPERATIONNormal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed upand over your shoulder.For Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antennaunnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and maycause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
