Information about power and charging

AC adaptor connection

R The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm

during use.)

R The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do

not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may
cause it to become disconnected.

Power failure

R The unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a corded-type

telephone (without AC adaptor) to the same telephone line or to the same telephone line jack
using a Panasonic T-adaptor (page 3).

Battery use and replacement

R Use only the supplied battery. For replacement, use only the Panasonic rechargeable battery

noted on page 3.

R The battery might swell when its life is close to an end. This is dependent on the usage

conditions and is not a problem.

Battery charging

R It is normal for the handset to feel warm during charging.
R Clean the charge contacts of the handset, base unit, and charger with a soft and dry cloth

once a month. Before cleaning the unit, disconnect from power outlets and any telephone line
cords. Clean more often if the unit is exposed to grease, dust, or high humidity.

Saving battery power

R The amount of time you can use the handset before the battery needs to be charged varies

depending on how you are using it. Each of the following can help you save battery power.
– Turn off the screen when you are not using the handset (page 17).
– Use the control panel (page 20) to turn off the handset’s Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth

features.

– When you are away from home, use the control panel (page 20) to turn off the handset’s

DECT connection to the base unit. Note that if you do not turn the connection back on when
you return home, you will not be able to make or receive calls using the handset.

FCC and other information

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules and the requirements adopted by
the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment
is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the
format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided
to the telephone company.

L Registration No.............(found on the rear

of the base unit)

L Ringer Equivalence No. (REN).......0.1B

A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular plug
is provided with the product. It is designed
to be connected to a compatible modular
jack that is also compliant.

The REN is used to determine the number
of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In
most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain
of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the
total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July
23, 2001, the REN for the product is part of
the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company
will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required.
But if advance notice isn't practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer
as soon as possible. Also, you will be

advised of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes
in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the operation of
the equipment. If this happens the
telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.

If trouble is experienced with this
equipment, for repair or warranty
information, please contact a Factory
Service Center or other Authorized Servicer.
If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company
may request that you disconnect the
equipment until the problem is resolved.

Connection to party line service is subject to
state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or
corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of this equipment
does not disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.

This equipment is hearing aid compatible as
defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section

68.316.

When you hold the phone to your ear, noise
might be heard in your Hearing Aid. Some
Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded
from external RF (radio frequency) energy. If
noise occurs, use an optional headset
accessory or the speakerphone option (if
applicable) when using this phone. Consult
with your audiologist or Hearing Aid

manufacturer about the availability of
Hearing Aids which provide adequate

by digital devices.

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST
CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to
the dispatcher the reason for the call.

2) Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late
evenings.

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this phone.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate this device.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

– Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.

Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or
prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If

i

nterference is experienced, move the
cordless telephone further away from the TV
or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate
interference.

FCC RF Exposure Warning:

L

This product complies with FCC radiation

exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.

L To comply with FCC RF exposure

requirements, the base unit must be
installed and operated 20 cm (8 inches)
or more between the product and all
person’s body.

L This product may not be collocated or

operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

L For body-worn operation, the handset

must be used only with a non-metallic
accessory. Use of other accessories may
not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements.

Notice:

L FCC ID can be found inside the battery
compartment or on the bottom of the

units.
