Introduction
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:
L Placing the unit away from electrical
appliances such as a TV, personal
computer or another cordless phone.
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
L Raising the antenna vertically.
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 anothe r
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 maximum calling distance may be
shortened when the unit is used in the
following places: Near obstacles such as
hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal
objects such as wire fences, etc.
L Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.
Routine care
L Wipe the outer su rface of the unit with a
soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or
any abrasive powder.
Environment
L Keep the u nit away from electrical noise
generating devices, such as fluorescent
lamps and motors.
L The unit should be kept free from
excessive smoke, dust, high
temperature and vibration.
L The unit should not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
L Do not place heavy objects on top of the
unit.
L When you leave the unit unused for a
long period of time, unplug this unit from
power outlet.
L The 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
(41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F).
Damp basements should also be

Preparation
Note:
L Use only th e included Panasonic AC
adaptor PQLV19.
L The AC ada ptor 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
standard telephone to the same
telephone line or to the same telephone
jack using the Panasonic KX-J66 T-
adaptor. Emergency power can be
supplied to the unit by connecting a
Panasonic battery back-up power
supply noted on page 5.
If you subscribe to an xDSL service
L Please attach a noise filter (contact your
xDSL provider) to the telephone line
between the base unit and the telephone
line jack in the event of the following:
– Noise is heard during conversations.
– Caller ID features (page 26) do not
function properly.

Preparation
Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully
charged, you can expect the following
performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use
(talking)
While not in use
(standby)
While using the
Clarity Booster
feature (page 20)
*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger
but not in use.
Note:
L Battery power is consumed whenever
the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in
use. The longer you leave the handset
off the base unit or charger, 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.
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do
not have to charge it again until
“Recharge battery” is displayed or
7 flashes. This will maximize the
battery life.
