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
0.833
W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.496
W/kg. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences 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

after searching on FCC ID

Caution:
All Panasonic branded accessories are tested and comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements. Non-Panasonic accessories may not comply.
