KX-TCD705BX 12/7/01 2:28 pm Page 5

◆◆ Connections

Plug in the AC Adaptor and the telephone line cord to the rear of the unit. Then connect the cord as shown.

Getting Started

USE ONLY WITH Panasonic AC ADAPTOR PQLV1CE.

• The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use).

• If your unit is connected to a Telephone line or PBX which does not support Caller ID services, you cannot access those services.

• The telephone will not work during a power failure. We therefore recommend you connect a standard telephone on the same line for power protection.
