INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Installation
LNever install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
LNever install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
LNever touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
LUse caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
5
Introduction
LDo not touch the plug with wet hands.
LThe AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the unit and is easily accessible.
Battery
To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions.
LUse only the battery(ies) specified.
LDo not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. They may explode. Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions.
LDo not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
LExercise care when handling the battery(ies). Do not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch the battery(ies), otherwise a short circuit may cause the battery(ies) and/or the conductive material to overheat and cause burns.
LCharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
WARNING:
LTo prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or any type of moisture.
LUnplug this unit from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell or makes an unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped and contact an authorised service centre.
Medical
LConsult 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 unit operates in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz, and the power output level can range from 0.04 to 0.1 watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF (radio frequency) energy.
General Warnings
LThis equipment will be inoperable when mains power fails.
LWhen a failure occurs which results in the internal parts becoming accessible, disconnect the power supply cord immediately and return this unit to an authorised service centre.
LDisconnect the telecom connection before disconnecting the power connection prior to relocating the equipment, and reconnect the power first.
LNo “111” or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure. This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom “111” Emergency Service.
LTo minimise the possibility of lightning damage, when you know that a thunderstorm is coming, we recommend that you:
–Unplug the telephone line cord from the phone jack.
–Unplug the power supply cord from the AC power outlet.
LThe earcap on the handset is magnetised and may retain metallic objects.
LThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with AS/NZS 3548: 1995 limits for electromagnetic interference. Any modifications to any
6
Introduction
part of the system or to any peripherals may void the EMC compliance of the system or the peripherals.
LThe unit’s answering system only responds to Distinctive Alert cadence(s) DA1 and DA3.
LNot all telephones will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket.
LThis equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the same line.
Important notice
LUnder power failure conditions, this telephone may not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone, not dependent on local power, is available for emergency use.
For best performance
Base unit location/noise
The base unit and handset use radio waves to communicate with each other. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following:
LPlacing the unit away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.
LPlacing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.
LRaising the antenna vertically.
LIf 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.
LIf 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.
Environment
LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe unit should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature and vibration.
LThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
LDo not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
LWhen you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from power outlet.
LThe unit 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 or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should also be avoided.
LThe maximum calling distance may be shortened when the unit is used in the
7
Introduction
following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.
LOperating near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

LUse only the included Panasonic AC adaptor PQLV19AL.
LThe AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)
LThe 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.
LThe unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a standard telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack using a BT double adaptor.
LThe unit is not designed to be used with rotary (pulse dialling) services.

Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
–“Recharge battery” is displayed or 7flashes on the handset display.
–the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.

Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

While in use |
Up to 5 hours |

feature (page 18) |
|
|
|
*1 Handset is off the base unit but not in use.
Note:
LBattery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until “Recharge battery” is displayed or 7flashes. This will maximise the battery life.
Battery replacement
If battery performance diminishes, make sure you have cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery. The battery needs to be replaced if any of the following are displayed after a few phone calls even when you have fully charged the battery.
–“Recharge battery”
–7(flashing)
–“Charge for 6h”
–8
LUse only the rechargeable Panasonic battery noted on page 4.
1Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow.
2Replace the old battery with a new one, and close the cover (see page 10 for battery installation).
