•

USE ONLY WITH

• The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)

• If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Call Display and voice mail services, you cannot access those services.

• This unit will not function during a power failure. We recommend connecting a standard telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack using a T-adaptor.

• If the unit is connected to a telephone line with DSL service, you may hear noise from the receiver or speaker during conversations or the unit may not display caller’s name and/or phone number properly. We recommend the addition of a noise filter (contact your DSL service provider) to the telephone line between the base unit and the telephone line jack.

1. This option is only for DSL users.

2. The filter will be supplied by the DSL service provider.

Battery information

After 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. 25) 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 the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off 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.

• Clean the charge contacts of the handset and the base unit 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 being used. The battery cannot be overcharged.

• When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on automatically or manually, battery operating time may be shortened (p. 25).
