ARS (Automatic Route Selection) (For Czech and Slovakia only)

Different telephone carriers charge different rates for call to different areas. If you use different telephone carriers in an effort to save costs, automatic route selection can automatically dial the appropriate carrier code when you make calls to certain area codes according to the way you program this feature.

Important:

L To use automatic route selection, you

must: – subscribe to the telephone carrier

service you use – store the carrier codes you use – store the area codes you want to call

using a specific carrier code – assign a carrier code to each stored

area code Contact your telephone carrier(s) for

calling rates.

Example: You have assigned carrier code “9876” to area code “123”. If you dial “123-4567”, the unit dials “9876123-4567”.

Storing carrier codes for ARS (Turning ARS on)

Store the carrier codes of the telephone carriers you use. You can store up to 5 carrier codes.

Answering System Features

Remote operation

Using a touch tone phone, you can call your phone number from outside and access the unit to listen to messages or change answering system settings. The unit’s voice guidance will prompt you to press certain dial keys to perform different operations.

Important:

L In order to operate the answering system

remotely, you must first turn on remote operation by setting a remote access code. This code must be entered each time you operate the answering system remotely.

Turning remote operation on

A 3-digit remote access code must be entered when operating the answering system remotely. This code prevents unauthorised parties from listening to your messages remotely. After you store your remote access code, remote operation is possible.

Answering System Features

For voice mail service subscribers

Please note the following: – To receive messages correctly with your

voice mail service, we recommend that you do not use the unit’s answering system. Make sure that the answering system is turned off (page 51).

– If you would rather use the unit’s

answering system rather than the voice mail service provided by your service provider, ask your service provider to deactivate your voice mail service.

If your service provider cannot do this, set this unit’s “Number of Rings” setting so that this unit’s answering system answers calls before the service provider’s voice mail service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to activate the voice mail service provided by your service provider before changing this setting.

Selecting the caller’s recording time

You can change the maximum message recording time allotted to each caller, or set the unit to greet callers but not record messages.

Multi-unit Operation

Operating additional units

Additional handsets

Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Additional handsets will give you the freedom to, for example, have an intercom call with another handset while a third handset is on an outside call. See page 6 for information on ordering additional handsets.

Important:

L The additional handset model

recommended for use with this unit is noted on page 6. If other model handset is used, certain operations (handset settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not be available.

Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves out of range of its base unit when “Auto” is selected on base unit selection (page 58), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.

Note:

L Calls will be disconnected when the

handset moves from one radio cell to another.

Registering a handset to a base unit

The included handset and base unit are preregistered. If for some reason the handset is not registered to the base unit (for example, w flashes even when the handset is near the base unit), register the handset manually (page 58).

To register an additional handset to a base unit (easy registration)

After purchasing an additional handset, register it to the base unit. Ensure that the additional handset is switched on. If it is not on, press and hold {ih} for few seconds to turn the handset on.

1 Lift the additional handset and press

{ih} to put the handset in standby mode.

2 Press and hold {x} on the base unit for

about 3 seconds, until the registration tone sounds.

3 Place the additional handset on the

base unit. The registration tone continues to sound. With the handset still on the base unit, wait until a confirmation tone sounds and w stops flashing.

Note:

L If an error tone sounds, or if w is still

flashing, register the handset manually (manual registration; page 58).

L If all registered handsets start ringing in

step 2, press {x} to stop. Start again from step 1.

L Charge the batteries of your additional

handset for about 7 hours before initial use.

L This registration method cannot be used

for handsets that have already been registered to a base unit. Register the

To register a handset to an additional base unit (manual registration)

You can register a handset to a base unit manually using the following method.

1 " (centre of joystick) i m i # 2 “Registration” i # 3 “Register H.set” i # 4 Select a base unit number. i #

L This number is used by the handset

as a reference only.

5 Press and hold {x} on the base unit for

about 3 seconds, until the registration tone sounds.

L If all registered handsets start ringing,

press {x} to stop, then repeat this step.

L After pressing {x}, the rest of this

procedure must be completed within 1 minute.

6 Wait until “Enter Base PIN” is

displayed, then enter the base unit PIN (default: “0000”), then press #.

L When the handset has been

registered successfully, w will stop flashing. If keytones are turned on (page 35), a confirmation tone will be heard.

Selecting a base unit

When “Auto” is selected, the handset will automatically use any available base unit it is registered to. When a specific base unit is selected, the handset will make and receive calls using that base unit only. If the handset is out of range of that base unit, no calls can be made.

1 " (centre of joystick) i m i # 2 “Select Base” i # 3 Select the desired base unit number, or

L The handset starts searching for the

base unit.

Cancelling a handset

A maximum of 6 handsets can be registered to a base unit. A handset can cancel its own registration (or the registration of another handset) that is stored in the base unit. This will allow the base unit to “forget” the handset.

1 " (centre of joystick) i n i # 2 Enter the base unit PIN (default:

“0000”).

cancel. i S i #

Cancelling a base unit

A handset can be registered to a maximum of 4 base units. A handset can cancel a base unit that it is registered to. This allows the handset to “forget” the base unit.

1 " (centre of joystick) i m i # 2 “Registration” i # 3 Enter “335”. 4 “Cancel Base” i # 5 Enter the handset PIN (default: “0000”). 6 Select the base unit(s) you want to

Multi-unit Operation

Increasing the range of the base unit

You can increase the range of the base unit by using a DECT repeater. Please use only the Panasonic DECT repeater noted on page 6. Consult your Panasonic dealer for details.

Important:

L Before registering the repeater to this

base unit, you must turn the repeater mode on.

w stops flashing.

L While the repeater mode is turned on,

audible call announcements may not be heard from the handset speaker.

Intercom between handsets

Intercom calls can be made between handsets in the same radio cell.

Example: When handset 1 calls handset 2
