• 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.

• If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot access Caller ID services.

• This unit will not function during a power failure, unless it is connected to the ADT Security System.

• If the unit is connected to a telephone line with DSL service, you may hear noise during conversations or the unit may not display caller’s name and/or phone number properly.

Battery replacement:

If you cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery, but after a few telephone calls, “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “ ” continues to flash, or “Charge for 6 HRS” and “ ” are displayed, the battery may need

to be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic HHR-P402 battery at the telephone number shown on page 2. To replace the battery, see page 11.

A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.

Battery information

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

Operation Operating time

While in use (TALK) Up to 6 hours

While not in use (Standby) Up to 14 days

While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 31) Up to 4 hours

• A fully charged battery will give you up to 6 hours of continuous talk time, or keep your cordless handset in Standby mode to receive incoming calls for up to 14 days (if no phone calls are made). Battery power is consumed whenever the cordless handset is off of the charger, even when the cordless handset is not in use. The longer you leave the cordless handset off of the charger, the time you can actually talk on the cordless handset will be shortened. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the cordless handset is in TALK mode and how often it is in Standby mode.

• Clean the charge contacts of the cordless handset and the charger with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or high humidity. Otherwise the battery may not charge properly.

• If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the cordless handset on the

charger until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “ ” flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

• If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the cordless handset on the charger when the cordless handset is not used. The battery cannot be overcharged.

• When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on (p. 31), battery operating time may be shortened.

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. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning 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.

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

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.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements the base unit must be installed and operated with its antenna located 20 cm or more between antenna and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet). The handset unit may be carried and operated with only the specific provided belt-clip. Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply and

must be avoided. The base and handset units must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section

68.316.

When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might be heard in your Hearing Aid. Some Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an optional headset accessory or the speakerphone option (if applicable) when using this phone. Consult your audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids which provide adequate shielding to RF energy commonly emitted by digital devices.

• 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 or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency range of 2400MHz to 2480MHz, and the power output level can range from 0.04 to 0.4 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.
