For Optional Multi-Unit Users

Operating More than One Handset

You can register and operate up to 6 handsets at the base unit.Operating more than one handset allows you to have an internal call while simultaneously conducting an external phone call using another handset.

Ex.6 optional handsets are added to a

base unit.Handset 1 is engaged in an internal call with handset 3. Handset 2 is engaged in an external call.

Multi-Unit User Operations

•The optional handset model number is KX-TCA101CEB.The functions of the optional handset are the same as those of the KX-TCD961CXB handset.

•An optional charger, KX-TCA110CEB, is available from your Panasonic dealer.

Operating More than One Base Unit

You can register and operate your handset at up to 4 base units. Since each base unit forms a radio cell, you can extend the range or area in which you can make/answer calls with the same handset by placing the base units in suitable locations. For example, you can use a handset in different radio areas, such as at home or the office.However, calls in progress are canceled when the unit moves to another radio area.

Ex.3 optional KX-TCA101CEB handsets

are added to 2 base units.

Replacing the Batteries

Caution:

To reduce the risk of fire or injur y to persons, read and follow these instructions.

1. Use only the batteries specified.

2. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.

3. Do not mix old and new batteries.

4. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.They may explode.Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions.

5. Do not open or mutilate the batteries.Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin.The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.

6. Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short the batteries with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.The batteries and/or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

7. Charge the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

Important Notice Concerning the Correct Use and Charging of Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) Batteries

Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear.The lifetime of a battery also depends on correct maintenance.Charging and discharging are the most impor tant factors.You should take notice of the following to maintain the life of the batter y as long as possible. Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries have a kind of memory, the “memory effect”. If fully charged batteries are used several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the capacity of the batteries will be reduced to 15 minutes due to the memory effect.Therefore you should discharge the batteries completely, i.e. use them in the handset until “ ”on the display starts flashing. Then recharge them as described in the manual.After the memory effect has occurred, it is possible to achieve almost complete capacity of the Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries by charging and discharging several times one after another. Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries can also self-discharge.This self-discharge depends on the ambient temperature.At temperatures under 0°C, the self-discharge will be the lowest.High humidity and high temperatures support the self-discharge. Also long-term storage will lead to self-discharge.A dead Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) battery should not be disposed of normally.They contain toxic heavy cadmium (metal hydride) and therefore should be recycled.

Term Definitions

DECT

The abbreviation DECT means “Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications”.

Advantages of DECT

Excellent voice quality: Through sampling of digital signals DECT units obtain nearly noiseless transmission. High grade taping security: Based on digital transmission, DECT conversations are well protected against unapproved monitoring. Multi-Handset operation: To operate several handsets at the base unit, no cable installation is required. Interlink: Intercom conversation can be held free of charge between the registered handsets. Functions like a PBX: More than one operation can be performed at the same time, like a PBX. eg., during an external call, an internal call or outside call can be transferred to another handset. Multi-Base station operation: More than one handset can be registered to several base units, e.g., for private and office applications.
