How the GLOBARANGE phone works

Connect this phone to both a landline and the Internet (IP line) so you can make or receive internet calls as well as landline calls. When you make calls with A, a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service, your voice will be sent as data packets over the Internet to the person you are calling

What is A/A number?

A is the VoIP service provided by deltathree Inc. After connecting this phone to the Internet (page 18, 30), a unique A number is sent to your handset display (page

31), so you can use your IP line as follows:

1. Make and receive free calls to and from other A numbers for a full period of 3

years from the date of setup.

2. Make calls from your A number to landline and mobile phones at very low rates

by subscribing to the appropriate service at www.joip.com

3. Receive calls from landline and mobile phone numbers via your IP line by subscribing for additional phone number(s) at www.joip.com These additional phone numbers can be chosen regardless of your geographic location from a list of international and local area codes offered by A. There may be restrictions in obtaining phone numbers from certain countries or areas. Visit www.joip.com for details.

*1*2

A A number consists of a # followed by 10 digits, enabling you to make and receive free calls to and from other A number owners for a full period of 3 years from the date of setup. The A number does not involve extra charges and is given free to Panasonic GLOBARANGE phone owners.

*1 Requires both parties to have a Panasonic GLOBARANGE Phone, activated the

A service from deltathree, Inc., and broadband internet service provided by a cable company or internet service provider for a fee.

*2 After 3 years, the A service may require a fee.

Note:

L Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. L The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to

feel warm during use.)

L 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.

L The unit will not work during a power failure. To use the landline, we therefore

recommend you also connect a corded-type telephone (without AC adaptor) to the same telephone line using a T-adaptor. Your Panasonic sales shop can offer you more information about connection possibilities.

Location

L For maximum distance and noise-free operation, place your base unit:

– away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios, personal computers or

other phones.

Configuring the Internet connection settings

If your local network uses a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server for automatic IP address assignments, you do not need to change any settings. If your local network uses a static IP address, turn the DHCP connection mode off. Leaving the DHCP connection mode on allows the base unit to receive an IP address automatically from a DHCP server on your local network.

Automatic setup (default) N

The base unit automatically obtains an IP address and other Internet connection settings (subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses).

Turning the DHCP connection mode on:

1 K i {#}{5}{0}{0} 2 {V}/{^}: “On” 3 M i {i}

L Wait until the 4 indicator on the

base unit turns green. When the 4 indicator lights in green, the setting is complete. Confirm your A number (page 31).

L When the 4 indicator on the

base unit does not light in green even if you wait for a few minutes, see page 24.

Note:

L To view the Internet connection

settings: K i {#}{5}{0}{1} i When

finished, press {i}.

Static setup N

If your local network does not use a DHCP server for automatic IP address assignments, turn the DHCP connection mode off first. Then set the static IP address and other Internet connection settings corresponding to your local network.

Turning the DHCP connection mode off:

1 K i {#}{5}{0}{0} 2 {V}/{^}: “Off” 3 M i {i}

Setting the static IP address and other settings:

1 K i {#}{5}{0}{1} 2 Set the IP address and other

settings.
