Thank you for purchasing this Panasonic digital cellular phone. 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, Matsushita Mobile Communications Development of Europe Ltd, declare, that the EB-GD87 conforms with the essential and

A declaration of conformity to this effect can be found at http://www.panasonicmobile.com

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 any legal requirements regarding the use of cellular

phones.

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

Fast Travel Charger is compatible with the area

of use when travelling abroad.

A Fast Travel Charger (EB-CAD95xx*) is

supplied with the Main Kit. Other

recommended equipment for charging -Car

Charger (EB-CDD95).

Note* xx identifies the Charger region, e.g.

CN, EU, HK, UK.

Switch off your cellular phone when in an

aircraft. 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 incinerate or dispose of the battery as

ordinary rubbish. The battery must be disposed

of in accordance with local legislation and may

be recycled.

Important Information

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).

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 you are driving and

observe them at all times.

Care must be taken when using the phone in

close proximity to personal medical devices,

such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

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. (See

‘SAR Statement’). 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.

This Panasonic mobile phone is designed,

manufactured and tested to ensure that it

complies with the specifications covering RF

exposure guidelines applicable at the time of

manufacture, in accordance with EU, USA

FCC, and Australian ACA regulations; or as

specifically stated in the separate declaration

leaflet enclosed with this product.

Please refer to our website for latest

information/standards compliance in your

country/region of use.

Important Information

SAR

European union - RTTE

THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-GD87) MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio

frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines

and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific

organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed

to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The

SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard

operating positions 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 base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This

directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The

SAR value for this model phone, when tested for use at the ear, for compliance against the standard was 0.633 W/kg. While there

may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF

exposure.

* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit

incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in

measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.

For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at
