Introduction

L Do not touch the plug with wet hands. L The 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.

L Use only the battery(ies) specified. L Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a

fire. They may explode. Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions.

L Do 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.

L Exercise 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.

L Charge 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:

L To prevent the risk of fire or electrical

shock, do not expose this product to rain or any type of moisture.

Medical

L 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 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.

Notice

L Please ensure that a separate

telephone, not dependent on local power, is available for emergency use.

L This equipment will be inoperable when

mains power fails.

L When 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.

L To 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.

L No “000” or other calls can be made

from this device during a mains power failure.

L The earcap on the handset is

magnetised and may retain metallic objects.

L This equipment has been tested and

found to comply with AS/NZS 3548: 1995 limits for electromagnetic interference. Any modifications to any part of the system or to any peripherals may void the EMC compliance of the system or the peripherals.

Preparation

Battery performance

After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect approximately 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 maximise the battery life.

Up to 5 hours

Up to 11 days

Up to 3 hours

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 L Use only the rechargeable Panasonic

battery noted on page 5.

1 Press the notch on the cover firmly and

slide it as indicated by the arrow.

2 Replace the old battery with a new one,

and close the cover (see page 10 for battery installation).

This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to your telephone company’s Caller ID service.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is being received, the calling party’s phone number will be displayed. Phone numbers for the last 50 different callers will be logged in the caller list, allowing you to return missed calls. Caller information is stored by the most recent call to the oldest.

L When Caller ID information is received

logged in the caller list. (Private name

display)

L While listening to a message recorded

L If the unit cannot receive caller

information, the following will be displayed: “Out of area”: The caller dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service. “Private caller”: The caller requested not to send caller information.

L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,

caller information may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.

L If the name display service is available in

your area, the display will show callers’ names. For further information, please contact your telephone company.

Call waiting and Caller ID compatible

If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your handset displays the 2nd caller’s information while talking. After you hear a call waiting tone, the caller’s phone number will be displayed. You can answer the 2nd call, keeping the 1st call on hold. Follow Telstra or your service provider instructions using {Recall}.

L If the phone number is stored in the

phonebook with its name, the caller’s name will also be displayed.

Instructions to customer

Installation

Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service. Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5). You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises. To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket. You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your equipment. If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:

1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)

2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)

3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one 5 mm shorter.)

4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Useful Information

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed. You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be installed. Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store where purchased or an Authorised Service Centre.

Service difficulties

If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service, carry out the following checks before you call for service:

L Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal

telephone.

L If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted

Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.

L If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service

Difficulties and Faults” for attention. You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.

WARNING:

This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
