electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact
the Panasonic Call Center at 1-800-211-PANA (1-800-211-7262).
Medical
• Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product
operates in the frequency range of 911.171 MHz to 913.066 MHz and
2480.0 MHz to 2482.9 MHz, and the power output is 1 mW (max.).) Do

5 For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible Panasonic units use radio waves to
communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the
following:
• Placing the product away from electrical appliances.
• Placing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no
obstructions such as walls.
• Raising the antenna vertically.
• If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used,
noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer
to the base unit.
• If you use the handset near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise
may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit
and closer to your base unit.

20 FCC and other information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a
label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the
format US:5GG———.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company,
• Registration No.------------------- (found on the bottom of the unit)
• Ringer Equivalence No. (REN) ------------------- 0.0B
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 Servicenter 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.
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 interference is experienced, move the cordless
telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate,
interference.
• If the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:
–“OUT OF AREA”: The caller dialed from an area which does not
provide Caller ID service.
–“PRIVATE CALLER”: The caller requested not to send caller
information.
–“LONG DISTANCE”: The caller called you long distance.
–“ERROR”: The Caller ID information is interfered with during reception.
• If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be
received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
• The name display service may not be available in some areas. For further
information, please contact your telephone service provider.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call.
For example, if 10 calls from different parties are missed, “NEW CALL 10” is
displayed on the handset display. This lets you know if you should view the
caller list to see who called while you were out.
Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services, the
2nd caller's information is displayed after you hear a Call Waiting tone. Please
contact your telephone service provider for details and availability of this
service in your area.
