How do I turn on the Panasonic GD70?

Press and hold the End/Power key until the display lights up and a greeting message appears.

What should I do if the phone does not switch on?

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly connected. If still not working, try charging for a few minutes before attempting to power on. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

How can I make an emergency call?

When the antenna symbol (T) is displayed, dial 112 or the local emergency number and press the Call key. You can also press Select key when 'SOS' appears in the option area.

How do I store a contact in the phonebook?

Enter the telephone number, press Store (select key), then enter the name using alpha entry, and optionally choose a location number. Press Store again to save.

Why can't I receive calls?

What does 'SIM Blocked' mean and how do I fix it?

'SIM Blocked' indicates the PUK code has been entered incorrectly 10 times. You must contact your Service Provider to obtain a new SIM card.

Safety Information

This equipment is intended for use when supplied with power from the built-in charger or Dual Charger (EB-CRD70) through the AC Adaptor (EB-CAD70). Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous. The use of approved accessories is recommended to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to your telephone.

Switch off your cellular telephone when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and may be illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.

You are advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Never expose the battery pack to extreme temperatures (in excess of 60^ C) or charge the battery pack for much longer than recommended.

You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Do not use a hand held telephone or microphone while you are driving. Find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a hands free microphone if it will take your mind off the road. Acquaint yourself thoroughly with restrictions concerning the use of cellular telephones within the country you are driving and observe them at all times.

Care must be taken when using the telephone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Do NOT hold the telephone to your ear in Handsfree mode.

Fitting/Removing the SIM

The SIM is fitted into a holder at the back of the telephone underneath the battery.

Fitting the SIM

Removing the SIM

The Language that the telephone will use for display messages can be changed.

In Tones, the telephone key, ring and warning tones (except low battery warning), can be switched off. When All Tones are switched off the silent indicator (♪) is displayed.

When the Ring Volume is switched off the silent indicator (✗) is displayed. Increasing the volume level above maximum can set an escalating ring tone.

A different Ring Type can be used for voice, fax, data and messages.
