Emergency (911) Service
If you need to make an emergency (911) call, power the phone on, dial 911,
and press . Emergency calls can be made regardless of lock setting and
with or without a SIM card. If no SIM card is installed, press SOS, then
press Yes. Remember, to make or receive any call, the phone must be
switched on and in a service area that has adequate signal strength. Even if
you are within the coverage area of your wireless service provider, you may
be in an area with insufficient signal strength to place a 911 call. Emergency
calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain
network service and/or phone features are in use.
Safety Tips
Following the suggestions in this section will help ensure safe and efficient
operation of your Panasonic phone.
This Model Phone Meets The Government’s Requirements For Exposure To
Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured 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 establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you
are to a 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 FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 0.982 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in the “Body –Worn Operation” section, is 0.364 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
