Important safety instructions
When using your product, basic safety
precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and injury to persons, including the
following:
1. Use only the batteries indicated in
this document. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal
instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For best performance
Hub location/avoiding noise
The hub and other compatible
Panasonic devices use radio waves to
communicate with each other.
R For maximum coverage and
noise-free communications, place
your hub:
– at a convenient, high, and central
location with no obstructions
between the product and hub in
an indoor environment.
– away from electronic appliances
such as TVs, radios, personal
computers, wireless devices, or
other phones.
– facing away from radio frequency
transmitters, such as external

Important Information
antennas of mobile phone cell
stations. (Avoid putting the hub
on a bay window or near a
window.)
R If the reception for a hub location is
not satisfactory, move the hub to
another location for better reception.
Environment
R Keep the product away from
electrical noise generating devices,
such as fluorescent lamps and
motors.
R The product should be kept free
from excessive smoke, dust, high
temperature, and vibration.
R The product should not be exposed
to direct sunlight.
R Do not place heavy objects on top of
the product.
R The product should be kept away
from heat sources such as radiators,
cookers, etc. It should not be placed
in rooms where the temperature is
less than 0 °C or greater than 40 °C.
R Operating the product near electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.
R Do not allow the probe unit’s metal
probes to make contact with metal
objects. This may reduce the battery
life.
Routine care
R Wipe the outer surface of the
product with a soft moist cloth.
R Do not use benzine, thinner, or any
abrasive powder.
R If the probe unit’s metal probes
come into contact with a foreign
material (oil, detergent, etc.), the
probes may repel water and
therefore will not be able to properly
detect a water leak. Periodically
check the metal probes and wipe
away any water or foreign material
that has become adhered to the
probes.
R If the probes come into contact with
water, wipe the probe unit dry. Do
not allow the probes to remain in
contact with water for an extended
period of time, as the probes may
begin to turn black. (This will not
affect the product’s ability to detect a
water leak.)
