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 jewellery, 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 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.
Caution:
The cigarette lighter must have a 12V negative ground socket. Do not use the
adapter in a vehicle that has a positive ground system.
General
• Do not use the phone in extreme temperature or humidity. The specified operating
temperature range is -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C).
• Extreme temperatures may have a temporary effect on the operation of your phone.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
• Do not expose the phone (particularly the display) to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time or to a humid, dusty or hot area.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
