Introduction 1IntroductionThank you for purchasing this Panasonic digital cellular phone. This phone is designed to operate on GSM networks – GSM850 or GSM1900. It also supports GPRS for packet data connections. Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. Safety ConsiderationsThe following information should be read and understood as it provides details which will enable you to operate your phone in a manner which is both safe to you and your environment, and conforms to any legal requirements regarding the use of cellular phones. This equipment should only be charged with approved charging equipment. Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous. The use of approved charging equipment is recommended to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to your phone. Ensure the voltage rating of the Fast Travel Charger is compatible with the area of use when travelling abroad. A Fast Travel Charger (EB-CAG60xx*) is supplied with the Main Kit. Other recommended equipment for charging – Car Charger (EB-CDG60).Note* xx identifies the charger region, e.g. CN, EU, UK.Use of a Battery Pack other than that recommended by the manufacturer may result in safety hazard.Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use of cellular phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and may be illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular phone services to the offender, or legal action or both. PowerBatteryAircraft
2 IntroductionIDo not incinerate or dispose of the battery as ordinary rubbish. The battery must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation and may be recycled. It is advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Never expose the battery to extreme temperatures (in excess of 60°C). It is imperative that the driver exercises proper control of the vehicle at all times. Do not hold a phone while you are driving; find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a Handsfree microphone if it will take your mind off the road. Always acquaint yourself thoroughly with restrictions concerning the use of cellular phones within the area you are driving and observe them at all times. Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. If you use the feature which keeps key backlight on continuously for a long time, such as game or browser, battery life will become extremely short. To maintain longer battery life, set the key backlight off (see “Backlight time” on page 35). For most efficient use, hold the phone as you would any normal phone. To avoid deterioration of signal quality or antenna performance, do not touch or “cup” the antenna area while the phone is switched on. Do not leave the camera facing direct sunlight to avoid impairing camera performance. Unauthorised modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate applicable regulations. The use of an unapproved modification or attachment may result in the invalidation of your guarantee – this does not affect your statutory rights.
