For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible
Panasonic units use radio waves to
communicate with each other.
LFor maximum coverage and noise-
free communications, place your
base unit:
– at a convenient, high, and central
location with no obstructions
between the handset and base unit
in an indoor environment.
– away from electronic appliances
such as TVs, radios, personal
computers, wireless devices or
other phones.
– avoid facing radio frequency
transmitters, such as external
antennas of mobile phone cell
stations (avoid putting the base unit
on a bay window or near a window).
LCoverage and voice quality depends
on the local environmental conditions.
LIf the reception for a base unit location
is not satisfactory, move the base unit
to another location for better
reception.
Environment
LKeep the product away from electrical
noise generating devices, such as
fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe product should be kept free from
excessive smoke, dust, high
temperature, and vibration.
LThe product should not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
LDo not place heavy objects on top of
the product.
LWhen you leave the product unused
for a long period of time, unplug the
product from the power outlet.
LThe product should be kept away
from heat sources such as heaters,
kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be
placed in rooms where the
temperature is less than 5 °C (41 °F)
or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp
basements should also be avoided.
LThe maximum calling distance may
be shortened when the product is
used in the following places: Near
obstacles such as hills, tunnels,
underground, near metal objects such
as wire fences, etc.
LOperating the product near electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.

Caller ID number auto edit
feature
Once you call back an edited number,
the unit will remember the Area Code
and Format of the Edited Number. Next
time when someone calls from the
same Area Code, caller information will
be customized by the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the
Caller ID number will be displayed in
the same Format as the Edited
Number.
– After the call is ended, the phone
number of the caller, when reviewed
from the Caller list, will be displayed in
the same Format as the Edited
Number.
For example, you can use this feature to
set the unit to ignore the area code of
callers in your area code, so that you
can call these local numbers using
caller information without dialing the
area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit
an item in the caller list, then call that
number. After that, phone numbers from
that caller’s area code are edited
automatically.
This feature can be turned on or off
(page 24).
Note:
LPhone numbers from the 4 most
recently edited area codes are
automatically edited.
LIf you move to another area, you can
turn this feature off to erase
previously edited area codes. To use
this feature again, turn it on and

Answering System
Answering system
This unit contains an answering system
which can answer and record calls for
you when you are unavailable to
answer the phone.
Important:
LOnly 1 person can access the
answering system at a time.
LWhen callers leave messages, the
unit records the day and time of each
message. Make sure the date and
time have been correctly set (page
15).
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including
your greeting message) is about 16
minutes.
A maximum of 64 messages can be
recorded.
LIf the message memory becomes full,
the MESSAGE indicator flashes
rapidly (if the answering system is
turned on). Erase unnecessary
messages (page 28).
LWhen the message memory
becomes full, the greeting message is
different depending on your situation:
– If you use the prerecorded greeting
message, the unit automatically
switches to another prerecorded
greeting message asking callers to
call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting
message, the same message is still
announced to callers even though
their messages are not recorded.

A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular
plug is provided with the product. It is
designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also
compliant.
The REN is used to determine the
number of devices that may be
connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line
may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most
but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact
the local telephone company. For
products approved after July 23, 2001,
the REN for the product is part of the
product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN
without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a
REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. But if
advance notice isn’t practical, the
telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to file
a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment.
If this happens the telephone company
will provide advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modifications
to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this
equipment, for repair or warranty
information, please contact a Factory
Service Center or other Authorized
Servicer. If the equipment is causing
harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until the
problem is resolved.
Connection to party line service is
subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public
service commission or corporation
commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone
line, ensure the installation of this
equipment does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
This equipment is hearing aid
compatible as defined by the FCC in
47 CFR Section 68.316.
When you hold the phone to your ear,
noise might be heard in your Hearing
Aid. Some Hearing Aids are not
adequately shielded from external RF
(radio frequency) energy. If noise
occurs, use an optional headset
accessory or the speakerphone option
(if applicable) when using this phone.
Consult with your audiologist or
Hearing Aid manufacturer about the
availability of Hearing Aids which
provide adequate shielding to RF
energy commonly emitted by digital
devices.
WHEN PROGRAMMING
EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND(OR)
MAKING TEST CALLS TO
EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Privacy of communications may not
be ensured when using this phone.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate this
device.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs.
To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless
telephone should not be placed near
or on top of a TV or VCR. If
