For Your Safety

Medical (KX-NT560 only)

R Do not use the product in health care facilities if any

regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

R Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,

such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency)
energy (the product operates in the frequency range of

2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz and the power output is 2.5 mW
[max.]).

Placement

R Care should be taken so that objects do not fall onto, and

liquids are not spilled into, the unit. Do not subject this unit
to excessive smoke, dust, moisture, mechanical vibration,
shock, or direct sunlight.

R Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
R Place this unit on a flat surface.

R Allow 10 cm clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.

Wall Mounting

R Make sure that the wall that the unit will be attached to is

strong enough to support the unit (approx. 1.5 kg).

R Only use the optional wall mount kit with the unit. The wall

mount kit includes the necessary screws, washers, and wall
mounting adaptor.

R When driving the screws into the wall, be careful to avoid

touching any metal laths, wire laths or metal plates in the
wall.

R When this unit is no longer in use, make sure to detach it

from the wall.

CAUTION

For Your Safety

Denotes a hazard that could result
in minor injury or damage to the
unit or other equipment.

R Keep the unit away from heating appliances and devices

that generate electrical noise, such as fluorescent lamps,
motors and televisions. These noise sources can interfere
with the performance of the unit. It also should not be
placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 0 ºC or
greater than 40 ºC.

R Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not clean the unit with

abrasive powders or with chemical agents such as benzine
or thinner.

R The handset hook poses a choking hazard. Keep the

handset hook out of reach of children.

R When left unused for a long period of time, disconnect the

unit from the AC outlet. When the unit receives power from
a PoE power supply, disconnect the Ethernet cables.

R When the unit is mounted on a wall, make sure the cables

are securely fastened to the wall.

Note

R If the unit does not operate properly, disconnect the AC adaptor cord

and Ethernet cables and then connect again.

R If you are having problems making calls, disconnect the Ethernet

cable and connect a known working IP-PT. If the known working
IP-PT operates properly, have the defective IP-PT repaired by an
authorised Panasonic factory service centre. If the known working
IP-PT does not operate properly, check the PBX and the Ethernet
cable.

R Under power failure conditions, the IP-PT may not operate. Please

ensure that a separate telephone, not dependent on local power, is
available for use in remote sites in case of emergency.

R For information regarding network setup of the IP-PT such as IP

addresses, please refer to the Installation Manual for the PBX.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

R If an error message is shown on your display, consult your dealer or

the network administrator.

R Use only the correct Panasonic handset.

Important Safety Instructions

When using this unit, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including
the following:
R Do not use the unit near water, for example, near a bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.

R Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an

electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.

R Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Important Information

Important Information

For Users in Australia and the United Kingdom

R This unit is capable of being used in conjunction with hearing

aids fitted with inductive coil pick-ups. The handset should be
held as for normal conversation. For operation, the hearing aid
should be set to its "T" position or as directed in the operating
instructions for the hearing aid.

R This unit is designed to aid the visually handicapped to locate dial keys

and buttons.

For Users in the United Kingdom

R This unit is designed to be installed under controlled conditions of ambient

temperature and a relative humidity.

R Avoid installing the unit in damp or humid environments, such as bathrooms or

swimming pools.

R 999 and 112 can be dialled on the product after accessing the outside line for

the purpose of making outgoing calls to the BT emergency (999) and (112)
services.

For Users in New Zealand

R This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom ‘111’

Emergency Service.

R This device is equipped with pulse dialling while the telecom standard is DTMF

tone dialling. There is no guarantee that the Telecom Lines will always continue
to support pulse dialling.

PTC General Warning

R The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that

Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for
connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by
Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no
assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of
Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any
product is compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.

The Use of IP Networks through the PSTN

R Internet Protocol (IP) by its nature introduces delay into speech signals as each

data packet is formulated and addressed. Telecom Access Standards

7

Important Information

recommends that suppliers, designers and installers using this technology for
calls to or from the PSTN refer to ITU E Model requirements in the design of
their networks. The overall aim is to minimise delay, distortion and other
transmission impairments, particularly for those calls involving cellular and
international networks, which already suffer extensive delay.

Echo cancellation

R Echo cancellers are not normally required in the Telecom PSTN because

geographic delays are acceptable where CPE return loss is maintained within
Telepermit limits. However, those private networks making use of Voice over IP
technology are required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The
combined effect of audio/VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause
the echo cancellation time of ³64 mS to be required.
