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

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

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.

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.

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.
