Chapter 12 Safety FirstAvailability of ServiceThis phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless andlandline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this,connection in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should neverrely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (for example,medical emergencies). When operating in analog mode, the service area whereyou can place and receive calls will be smaller than with other phones.Emergency (911) ServiceIf you need to make an emergency (911) call, power the phone on, dial 911, andpress .

Emergency calls might not bepossible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network service and/orphone features are in use.Safety TipsFollowing the suggestions in this section will help ensure safe and efficientoperation of your Panasonic phone.This Model Phone Meets The Government's Requirements For ExposureTo Radio Waves.Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed andmanufactured 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 establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines arebased on standards that were developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure thesafety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limitset by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standardoperating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at itshighest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of thephone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is becausethe phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only thepower required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested andcertified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed inpositions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required bythe FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by thepublic is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standardincorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for thepublic and to account for any variations in measurements.
