between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all 
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

 

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with 
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF 
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model 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 HFS-GD55

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on 
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at 

http://www.wow-com.com

Caution:

 All Panasonic branded accessories are tested and comply with 

FCC RF exposure requirements. Non-Panasonic accessories may not 
comply.

 

Body-Worn Operation

 

This device was tested for body-worn operations with the back of the phone 
kept 10 mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure 
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that 
maintain a 10 mm separation distance between the user’s body and the back 
of the phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and 
similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. 
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not 
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

 

Antenna Care

 

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Use only the supplied or an 
approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or 
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

 

Phone Operation

 

Normal Position:

 Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with 

the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. 

For Efficient Operation:

 For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not 

touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the 
antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher 
power level than otherwise needed.

 

Driving

 

Important:

 Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless 

telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using 
your phone while driving: 

  Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first responsibility; 

  Use handsfree operation, if available; 

 

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving 
conditions so require.
