Battery Charge

A rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride
(Ni-MH) battery powers the handset.
Charge the battery for about 8 hours
before initial use (p. 11).

Base Unit Location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using
wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free

operation, the recommended base unit location is:

Note:

While using the handset:

•If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from
the receiver or the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to
the base unit.

•If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is 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.

Away from electrical appliances
such as a TV, personal computer
or another cordless phone.

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location
with no obstructions such as walls.

Raise
the antennas.

The battery
is beneath
this cover.

For best performance, extend the handset
antenna fully.

•If the antenna is only extended half-way,
better operating range is not available.

Extend until the
antenna locks
into position.

Setting the Talking Caller ID Feature

After subscribing to a Caller ID service, the handset and the base unit will
display a caller’s name and phone number (p. 34). Name and telephone
number Caller ID service is required. This Talking Caller ID feature allows
the unit to announce a displayed caller’s name through the handset and
base unit speakers while a call is being received (p. 34). You can listen to
the caller’s name instead of looking at the display.
For example, if you receive a call from “JOHN SMITH”, the unit will
display “SMITH, JOHN” and announce “Call from SMITH, JOHN”
repeatedly until you or the answering system answer the call.
Your unit comes with this feature turned ON, but you may turn it OFF.

Make sure the unit is in the standby mode initially.

This unit is compatible with a Caller ID service offered by your telephone
company. If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, the calling party’s
information will be shown on the handset and base unit displays after the
first ring. After the second ring the handset and the base unit will
announce the displayed name following every ring (Talking Caller ID
feature). You will audibly be informed of whom is calling you. Name and
telephone number Caller ID service is required for this feature.

•Only the name will be announced.

•If you have a maximum of 50 Caller ID names or numbers stored in the Caller

List, and more than 30 names and numbers stored in the directory, the caller’s
name announcement may be heard after the third ring.

The unit can record information of up to 50 different callers in the Caller
List. The Caller List information is sorted by the most recent to the oldest
call. When the 51st call is received, the first call is deleted.
Using the list, you can automatically call back a caller. You can store the
callers’ names and numbers from the Caller List into the directory.
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting services, when a
second call is received while talking, the new caller’s name and phone
number will be displayed (p. 56).

How caller information is displayed and a caller’s name
is announced when a call is received

ROBINSON, TINA” will be heard through the
handset and base unit speakers following
every ring.

•After you answer the call, the display will show the

length of the call.

commonly names used in the United States.

•If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Service (IDENTA-RING for example)

from your telephone company with 2 or 3 consecutive rings, your unit may
mute one or more of the rings in order to announce the name of the caller.

FCC and Other Information

If requested by the telephone company, inform them as follows:

FCC Registration No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (found on the bottom of the unit)

Ringer Equivalence . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.1B

The particular telephone line to which the equipment is connected.

This unit must not be connected to a coin operated line.
If you are on a party line, check with your local telephone company.

Ringer Equivalence No. (REN):

The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number
is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices
you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your
local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

In the event terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company should notify the customer, if possible, that service may be stopped.

However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
(a) Promptly notify the customer.
(b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment.
(c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal

Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and
Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures, where such action is reasonably required in
the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations
in FCC Part 68.

If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or
require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially
affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in
writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

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
before hanging up.

2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or
late evenings.

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.

Useful Information

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 CH (Channel) button.

• Environment — do not place the unit in a room where the temperature is less
than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 40°C (104°F). Allow 10 cm (4") clearance
around the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid excessive smoke, dust, mechanical
vibration, shock, or direct sunlight.

• Medical — consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
(radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency range of
2401MHz to 2472MHz, and the power output level can range from 0.001 watts
to 0.20 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.

• Routine care — wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or
any abrasive powder. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time,
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

• If there is any trouble — disconnect the unit from the telephone line and
connect a known working phone. If the known working phone operates properly,
have your unit repaired by one of the authorized Panasonic Factory Service
Centers. If the known working phone does not operate properly, consult your
telephone company.
