For Best Performance

Battery charge

The handset is powered by a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery. Charge the battery for 6 hours before initial use (p. 12).

• As preventative maintenance, clean the handset and base unit charge contacts 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.

Base unit location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and handset using wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, the recommended base unit location is:

way from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, cellular phone charging units or another cordless phone.

Raise the antennas.

Note:

• If you use the handset 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 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.

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

Battery information

Afte

r your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following

performance:

Operation Operating time

While in use (TALK) Up to 5 hours

While not in use (Standby) Up to 11 days

While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 24) Up to 3 hours

• A fully charged battery will give you up to 5 hours of continuous talk time, or keep your handset in Standby mode to receive incoming calls for up to 11 days (if no phone calls are made). Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off of the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off of the base unit, the time you can actually talk on the handset will be shortened. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in TALK mode and how often it is in Standby mode.

• As preventative maintenance, clean the handset and base unit charge contacts 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 handset on the base

unit until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “ maximize the battery life.

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

• When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on automatically or manually, battery operating time may be shortened (p. 24).

Caller ID Service

This unit is compatible with Caller ID services offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to Caller ID, callers’ information will be displayed and recorded in the Caller List.

How Caller ID information is displayed

When a call comes in, the unit will ring and the Caller ID information will be received. The handset display will show the caller’s phone number after the ring.*

• After you answer the call, the display will show the length of the call.

*Private name display

If you receive a call from one of the phone numbers stored in the phone book, the handset will show the caller’s name stored in the phone book. The handset and base unit will announce the displayed name (Ex. “Call from TINA ROBINSON”) following every ring (Talking Caller ID feature, p. 28).

• To use this function, names and phone numbers must be stored in the phone book (p. 34).

• If the handsets each have the same phone number stored with a different name, each handset will display the name stored in its own phone book.

Announcing caller information (Talking Caller ID)

If the caller’s phone number is stored in the phone book of the extension number 1 handset, all handsets and the base unit will announce the name stored in that phone book (Ex. “Call from TINA ROBINSON”) following every ring.

• If the caller’s phone number is not stored in the phone book of the extension number 1 handset, “Number available” is announced, indicating you should look at the display to see who is calling.

• Depending on your telephone company, the unit may announce “Number available” before announcing the caller’s name stored in the phone book of the extension number 1 handset.

• The name announced by the Talking Caller ID feature will be different from the names displayed on the other extension handsets (2 to 4) if the name is stored differently in each phone book.

• If the unit does not receive Caller ID information, the unit will announce “Call from out of area” or “Call from private caller”.

• If the ringer volume of the handsets and base unit is off, caller names will not be announced. The announcement is heard at the handset or base unit ringer volume (p. 16, 17).

• If this feature is turned off, caller names will not be announced (p. 29).

• If an outside call is received while on an intercom call between the handset and

base unit, the other handset will ring, but the caller’s name will not be announced.

• Name pronunciation may vary.

• The unit will announce each letter of abbreviations, such as “Co.” and “Inc.”.

• Caller ID supports names of up to 15 letters. If the caller’s name has more than 15

letters, the name will not be displayed or announced correctly.

• Your unit may mute one or more rings in order to announce the name of the caller. Talking Caller ID takes precedence over ringing.

Important Information

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.)

Important 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:

• Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service, with the normal telephone.

• 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.

• 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.
