Introduction
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:
L Placing the product away from electrical
appliances.
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
L 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.
L 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.
L The 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.
L The 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.
L Operating the product near electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.
Routine care

with a soft moist cloth. Do not use
benzine, thinner, or any abrasive
powder.

k
Connecting the AC adaptor and
telephone line cord
Connect the telephone line cord until it
clicks into the base unit (A) and telephone
line jack (B). Connect the AC adaptor cord
by pressing the plug firmly (C).
L Use only the included Panasonic AC
adaptor PQLV203.
Preparation
Note:
L The AC adaptor must remain connected
at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor
to feel warm during use.)
L The AC adaptor should be connected to
a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to
a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the
weight of the adaptor may cause it to
become disconnected.
L The unit will not work during a power
failure. We recommend connecting a
corded telephone to the same telephone
line or to the same telephone jack using
a Panasonic T-adaptor (page 3).
If you subscribe to a DSL service
Please attach a noise filter (contact your
DSL provider) to the telephone line
between the base unit and the telephone

Operation Operating time
While in use
(talking)
While not in use
(standby)
Note:
L Battery operating time may be
shortened over time depending on
usage conditions and surrounding
temperature.
L Battery power is consumed whenever
the handset is off the base unit, even
when the handset is not in use. Hence
the longer you leave the handset off the
base unit, the less time you may actually
talk using the handset.
L If the battery is fully charged, you do not
have to place the handset on the base
unit until “RECHARGE” and/or “ ” are
displayed. This will maximize the battery
life.
