Important Information

Instructions to customer

Installation

Attached to this telephone is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a
“Permitted Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone
service.
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are
contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).

You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the
line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing
telephone or to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.

To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket.
You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your
equipment.

If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove
the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:

1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)

2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)

3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess.
(If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one 5 mm
shorter.)

4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Important Information

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your
Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.

You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service
consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means
of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be installed.

Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either
faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the
store where purchased or to an Authorised Service Centre.

Service difficulties

If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the following checks
before you call for service:

• Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal
telephone.

• If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted
Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its
supplier or agent to arrange for repair.

• If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service
Difficulties and Faults” for attention.

You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is
connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be
modified in any way without permission.

Preparation

WARNING

This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of
conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone
systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt
conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.

Operating Additional Handsets

Additional KX-TCA151AZ handsets are available for purchase separately. Up to 6
handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Using additional handsets allows you
to have an intercom call while simultaneously conducting a call to an outside line.

Operating Additional Base Units

You can register and operate your handset with up to 4 base units. Each base unit forms
1 radio cell. If the individual bases are linked to the same telephone line then you can
extend the operating range of the system by positioning the bases so that the two radio
cells overlap. If the handset is set to auto base selection, then in standby mode the
handset will automatically swap to the second base if the range on the first base is
exceeded. It is not possible to transfer calls between bases (only between handsets
linked to the same base unit).

Walkie-Talkie

The Walkie-Talkie feature allows handsets to communicate with each other outside the
range of the base unit. When the handsets are in Walkie-Talkie mode, external calls
cannot be received. Only KX-TCA151AZ with Walkie-Talkie feature can communicate
with one another.
Talk time in this mode is approximately 6 hours. Standby time in this mode is
approximately max.15 hours. (It changes by the use conditions.) When using the
handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend keeping the handset turned off, turning
it on only when talking in Walkie-Talkie mode. Turning the handset off immediately after
use will improve battery operating time.

Range:
The maximum range between two handsets while in Walkie-Talkie mode is up to
300 metres outdoors.

Setting the Walkie-Talkie Mode

You can set the Walkie-Talkie mode. There are two types: Common Base Station mode
and Group mode. The factory preset is Group mode.

- In Common Base Station mode, communication is possible between handsets
registered to a common base unit. If the handsets are registered to more than one
base unit, the same base unit must be selected.

Please note, the feature will not operate if AUTO is set in the base unit selection.

If Common Base Station mode is selected and the handset is not registered to a base
unit, an error tone sounds.

- In Group mode, communication is possible between handsets that are both set to this
mode and whose Group IDs are common.
This allows handsets to communicate in Walkie-Talkie mode regardless of which
base unit they are registered to.

The total recording capacity is approximately 30 minutes or 64 messages. Any recorded
noise may shorten the recording time up to 3 minutes. The greeting recording time is
limited to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. We recommend you to record a brief greeting
message in order to leave more time for recording new incoming/memo messages. All
messages (greeting, incoming and memo) are stored indefinitely on a “Flash memory”
IC chip-even if a power failure occurs. All of the messages are saved until you erase
them-Flash Memory Message Backup.

Before Requesting Help

If you experience any problems with the normal use of your apparatus, you should
unplug it from the telephone outlet and connect a known working telephone in its place.
If the known working telephone still has problems, then please contact the customer
service department of your telephone company.
If it operates correctly, then the problem is likely to be a fault in your apparatus.
In this case, contact your supplier for advice. Your telephone company may charge you
if they attend a service call that is not due to an apparatus supplied by them.
