Voice Enhancer Technology
Voice Enhancer Technology () helps clarify and improve sound reception
creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand.
This is accomplished by enhancing the frequency that is narrowed through the
telephone line and comes pre-set to OFF at the factory.
Under normal conditions, cordless phones are limited to a narrowed frequency
bandwidth (300Hz to 3.5KHz). Panasonic’s new Voice Enhancer Technology
cordless phones are able to simulate a band signal above and below the normal
bandwidth limitations. As a result, a clearer, crisp sound much closer to the actual
voice is achieved.

Caller ID Number Auto Edit Feature
There are 3 patterns of phone number ( , and , p. 22). This feature allows
your phone to automatically edit an in-coming Caller ID number into a pattern of
your choice, and display the Caller ID number with that pattern.
After this feature is activated, Caller ID numbers coming from specific area codes
(201, for example), from which the Caller ID numbers have been chosen to follow
the desired pattern (7-digit pattern, for example), will be automatically edited from
other patterns (11-digit pattern, for example) into the same pattern you have
previously selected (which is 7-digit pattern, in this example).
Up to 4 area codes can be designated for this feature for pattern , and
(p. 22).

To activate this feature, you must (1) set this feature to ON, and (2) make an outgoing call from Caller List (p. 21) with a number which has one of the 3 patterns that
you have edited with specific area codes, and that you prefer to be followed by
future Caller ID numbers, so that in the future all the Caller ID numbers coming from
the same area code will be displayed in the same pattern.
The Caller ID number Auto Edit feature is preset at the factory to ON.
• If a call does not go through, the phone number you dialed may have an incorrect
pattern. Please edit the phone number with another pattern (p. 22).
For example, if you move to another area, you may need to turn this feature OFF to
erase previously edited area codes. Then, if still necessary, you may activate this
feature again.

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:ACJ-----.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
Registration No. ..................................................... (found on the bottom of the unit)
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 this 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 this 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.
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.
WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST
CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

FCC and Other Information
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
interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV
or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away
from the electrical appliances and/or press the TALK or SP-PHONE button, or CH
(Channel) key.
CAUTION:
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the base unit should be installed
with its antenna located at 20 cm or more from persons and handset should be
carried with the specific belt-clip provided for the handset to ensure compliance.
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply,
therefore, should be avoided.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section
68.316.
