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. 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.

• 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 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).

• Name pronunciation may vary. Name pronunciation quality is based on names

most commonly used in the United States.

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

Caller ID Number Auto Edit

Once you call back an edited number (p. 31), this unit can automatically edit incoming phone numbers from the same area code in the Caller List and each time you receive a call. For example, it can ignore the area code of calls originating from your area code, so that you can call these numbers from the Caller List without dialing the area code. To activate this feature, you must edit a caller’s phone number in the Caller List (p. 31) by selecting pattern F, G, or H, then make a call to that number. Calls from numbers in that area code will be edited automatically. The unit can remember up to 4 area codes to be edited according to patterns F and G.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact a Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

FCC and Other 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 5.8GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

FCC RF Exposure Warning:

This product complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. 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.

A TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is also TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant.
