This phone is designed to operate on GSM networks ­ GSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900. It also supports GPRS for packet data connections. Please ensure the battery is fully charged before use. We, Panasonic Mobile Communications Development of Europe Ltd., declare that the EB-VS3 conforms with the essential and other relevant requirements of the directive 1999/5/EC. A declaration of conformity to this effect can be found at http://panasonic.co.jp/ pmc/products/en/support/index.html Safety considerations The following information should be read and understood as it provides details, which will enable you to operate your phone in a manner which is both safe to you and your environment, and conforms to legal requirements regarding the use of cellular phones. Power This equipment should only be charged with approved charging equipment to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to your phone. Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous. Ensure the voltage rating of the Travel charger is compatible with the area of use when travelling abroad. A Travel charger (EB-CA001xx*) is supplied with the Main Kit. Note* xx identifies the charger region, e.g. CN, EU, UK, AU, US. Battery Use of another battery pack than that recommended by the manufacturer may result in a safety hazard. If you use a feature which keeps the key backlight on continuously for a long time, such as a game or browser, battery life will become extremely short. To maintain longer battery life, set the Key backlight to off. (See "Key backlight" on page 97.) Do not use this phone without the battery cover attached. 1 Introduction Disposing of the Battery Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery as ordinary rubbish. The battery must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations and may be recycled. Aircraft Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. Ensure that the settings of the alarm functions will not contravene regulations whereby it may automatically power on when in an aircraft or medical facility etc. The use of cellular phones 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 phone services to the offender, or legal action or both. Do Not Use It is advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. Users are reminded 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 to extreme temperatures (in excess of 60°C). Driving It is imperative that the driver exercises proper control of the vehicle at all times. Do not hold a phone while you are driving; find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a handsfree microphone if it will take your mind off the road. Always acquaint yourself thoroughly with restrictions concerning the use of cellular phones within the area where you are driving and observe them at all times. Electronic Devices Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. 2 Introduction Heating Equipment When your handset, the accompanying battery or charging accessories are wet, do not put those in any type of heating equipment, such as a microwave oven, a high pressure container, or a drier or similar. It may cause the battery, handset and/ or charging equipment to leak, heat up, expand, explode and/or catch fire. Moreover, the product or accessories may emit smoke and their electrical circuits may become damaged and cause the products to malfunction. Panasonic is not responsible for any and all damages, whether direct or indirect, howsoever caused by any misuse. Backup Copies & Security It is recommended that you create a copy or backup, as appropriate, of any important information and data which you store in your phone's memory. In order to avoid accidental loss of data, please follow all instructions relating to the care and maintenance of your phone and its battery. Your phone has the capability of storing and communicating personal information. It is recommended that you take care to ensure that any personal or financial information is stored separately from your phone. You should use security features, such as the SIM lock to protect information held in your phone. Panasonic accepts no liability for any and all losses howsoever arising from any loss of data, including but not limited to direct and indirect losses (to include, but not limited to consequential loss, anticipated savings, loss of revenue). 3 Introduction Downloading Your phone has the capability of downloading and storing information and data from external sources. It is your responsibility to ensure that in doing this you are not infringing any copyright laws or other applicable legislation. Panasonic accepts no liability for any and all losses howsoever arising from any loss of data or any such infringement of copyright or intellectual property rights, including but not limited to direct and indirect losses (to include, but not limited to consequential loss, anticipated savings, loss or revenues). Efficient Use For most efficient use, hold the phone as you would any normal phone. To avoid deterioration of signal quality or antenna performance, do not touch or "cup" the antenna area while the phone is switched on. Unauthorised modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate applicable regulations. The use of an unapproved modification or attachment may result in the invalidation of your guarantee ­ this does not affect your statutory rights. Camera You are advised to take appropriate care over the use of the internal camera. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have permission to take photographs of people and objects and that you do not infringe any personal or third party rights when using the camera. You must comply with any applicable international or national law or other special restrictions governing camera use in specific applications and environments. This includes not using the camera in places where the use of photographic and video equipment may be prohibited. Panasonic accepts no liability for any and all losses howsoever arising from any infringement of copyright or intellectual property rights, including but not limited to direct and indirect losses. Do not leave the camera facing direct sunlight, as this may impair its performance. 4 Introduction Other important information The colour liquid crystal display (LCD) uses high-precision production technology, and in certain circumstances pixels may appear brighter or darker.
