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. Additional
precautions and notes are listed below:
•
Never throw a battery into a fire; it may explode.
•
Fully recharge the battery if the battery is low or as soon as the low-
battery alert beeps.
•
Do not drop the battery.
•
Do not allow bridging of battery contacts with metallic objects.
•
Do not remove the battery from the phone while the phone is powered on.
Settings you have changed may revert to their previous settings.
A recyclable lithium ion/polymer battery powers your phone.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle
the battery.
Charging Devices
Use only Genuine Panasonic charging accessories. Use of attachments not
recommended by Panasonic or your wireless service provider may result in
fire, electrical shock, or injury. Panasonic is not responsible for damage
caused by using non-Panasonic accessories.
•
Do not expose charging adapters to moisture, water, or the weather.
•
Do not use an adapter with a damaged cord.
•
When using a DC adapter in an automobile, a small amount of electricity
flows through the adapter, even if the phone is turned off. Remove the
plug from the cigarette lighter whenever the phone will be left in the
vehicle for long periods of time.
•
Always charge the battery in a well ventilated area, not in direct sunlight,
between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). It is not possible to recharge the
battery if it is outside this temperature range.
•
Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery as ordinary trash. The battery
must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation and may be
recycled.
