SAR

THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES and the requirements of the EU Directive 1999/5/EC.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. These guidelines also form the basis of international regulations and standards on RF Exposure.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear, for compliance against the standard, was 0.862 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in the user guide. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the RF exposure guidelines when used with a Panasonic accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from the body. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.477 W/kg.

As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to communicate with the network.

Introduction

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.

Panasonic GSM European Service Guarantee Conditions Dear Customer,

Thank you for buying this Panasonic digital cellular telephone. The Panasonic GSM European Service Guarantee only applies while travelling in countries other than where the product was purchased. Your local guarantee is applicable in all other cases. If your Panasonic GSM telephone requires service while abroad, please contact the local service company shown on this document.

The Guarantee

The applicable period of the European wide guarantee for GSM is generally 12 months for the main body and 3 months for the rechargeable battery. With respect to a product used in a country other than a country of purchase, notwithstanding what is stated in the conditions below, the customer will benefit, in that country of use, from these guarantee periods of, respectively, 12 and 3 months, if these conditions are more favourable to him than the local guarantee conditions applicable in such country of use.

Conditions of Guarantee

When requesting guarantee service the purchaser should present the warranty card together with proof of purchase, to an authorised service centre.

The guarantee covers breakdowns due to manufacturing or design faults; it does not apply to other events such as accidental damage, however caused, wear and tear, negligence, adjustment, modification or repair not authorised by us.

Your sole and exclusive remedy under this guarantee against us is the repair, or at our option the replacement, of the product, or any defective part or parts. No other remedy, including, but not limited to, incidental or consequential damage or loss of whatsoever nature shall be available to the purchaser.

This is in addition to and does not in any way affect any statutory or other rights of consumer purchasers. This guarantee applies in countries shown on this document at the authorised service centres detailed for that country.

EU/EEA - Wide Guarantee: Conditions applicable in any country other than the country of original purchase.

When the purchaser finds the appliance to be defective, he should promptly contact the proper sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA country where this guarantee is claimed, as indicated in the "Product Service Guide" or the nearest authorised dealer together with this guarantee and proof of date of purchase. The purchaser will then be informed whether:

(i) the sales company or national distributor will handle the repair service; or
(ii) the sales company or national distributor will arrange for trans-shipment of the appliance to the EU/EEA country where the appliance was originally marketed; or
(iii) the purchaser may himself send the appliance to the sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA country where the appliance was originally marketed.

If the appliance is a product model which is normally supplied by the sales company or national distributor in the country where it is used by the purchaser, then the appliance, together with this guarantee card and proof of date of purchase, should be returned at the purchaser's risk and expense to such sales company or distributor, which will handle the repair service. In some countries, the affiliated sales company or national distributor will designate dealers or certain service centres to execute the repairs involved.

If the appliance is a product model which is not normally supplied in the country where used, or if the appliance's internal or external product characteristics are different from those of the equivalent model in the country where used, the sales company or national distributor may be able to have the guarantee repair service executed by obtaining spare parts from the country where the appliance was originally marketed, or it may be necessary to have the guarantee repair service

executed the sales company or national distributor in the country where the appliance was originally marketed.

In either case, the purchaser must furnish this guarantee card and proof of date of purchase. Any necessary transportation, both of the appliance and of any spare parts, will be at the purchaser's risk and expense, and there may be a consequent delay in the repair service.

Where the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the sales company or national distributor in the country of use of the appliance, the service will be provided on the same local terms and conditions (including the period of guarantee coverage) as prevail for the same model appliance in the country of use, and not the country of initial sale in the EU/EEA. Where the consumer sends the appliance for repair to the sales company or national distributor in the EU/EEA country where the appliance was originally marketed, the repair service will be provided on the local terms and conditions prevailing in the country of initial sale in the EU/EEA.

Some product models require adjustment or adaptation for proper performance and safe use in different EU/EEA countries, in accordance with local voltage requirements and safety or other technical standards imposed or recommended by applicable regulations. For certain product models, the cost of such adjustment or adaptation may be substantial and it may be difficult to satisfy local voltage requirements and safety or other technical standards. It is strongly recommended that the purchaser investigates these local technical and safety factors before using the appliance in another EU/EEA country.

This guarantee shall not cover the cost of any adjustments or adaptations to meet local voltage requirements and safety or other technical standards. The sales company or national distributor may be in a position to make the necessary adjustments or adaptations to certain product models at the cost of the purchaser. However, for technical reasons it is not possible to adjust or adapt all product models to comply with local voltage requirements and safety or other technical

standards. Moreover, where adaptations or adjustments are carried out the performance of the appliance may be affected. If in the opinion of the sales company or national distributor in the country where the appliance is used the purchaser has the necessary adjustments or adaptations to local voltage requirements and technical or safety standards properly made, any subsequent guarantee repair service will be provided as above indicated, provided the purchaser discloses the nature of the adjustment or adaptation if relevant to the repair. (It is recommended that the purchaser should not send adapted or adjusted equipment for repair to the sales company or national distributor in the country where the appliance was originally marketed if the repair relates in any way to the adaptation or adjustment.)

This guarantee shall only be valid in territories subject to the laws of the European Union and the EEA.

Please keep this guarantee with your receipt.
