For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible
Panasonic units use radio waves to
communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, we recommend the following:
L Placing the product away from electrical
appliances.
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
L Raising the antennas vertically.
L If you use the handset near a microwave
oven which is being used, noise may be
heard. Move away from the microwave
oven and closer to the base unit.
L 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.
L The product should be kept away from
heat sources such as heaters, kitchen
stoves, etc. It should not be placed in
rooms where the temperature is less
than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C
(104 °F). Damp basements should also
be avoided.
L The maximum calling distance may be
shortened when the product is used in
the following places: Near obstacles
such as hills, tunnels, underground, near
metal objects such as wire fences, etc.
L Operating near 5.8 GHz electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.
Routine care

Note:
L Battery operating time may be
shortened over time depending on

handset off the base unit or charger, the
less time you may actually talk using the

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number, the
unit can automatically edit other incoming
phone numbers each time you receive a
call.
For example, you can use this feature to
set the unit to ignore the area code of
callers in your area code, so that you can
call these local numbers using caller
information without dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an
item in the caller list, then call that number.
After that, phone numbers from that
caller’s area code are edited automatically.
This feature can be turned on or off (page
35).
Note:
L Phone numbers from the 4 most recently
edited area codes are automatically
edited.
L If you move to another area, you can
turn this feature off to erase previously
edited area codes. To use this feature
again, turn it on and reprogram the area
codes you want to edit once again.

This unit does not have an indicator to
indicate if there are new messages in
your mailbox service.
L To use this unit’s answering system
rather than the Voice Mail service
provided by your telephone company,
please contact your telephone company
to deactivate your Voice Mail service.
If your telephone company cannot do
this:
– Set this unit’s “Ring count” setting

answers calls before your telephone
company’s Voice Mail service tries to
answer your calls. It is necessary to
check the ring count required to

consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.
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 with your
audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer
about the availability of Hearing Aids
which provide adequate shielding to RF
energy commonly emitted by digital

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.
2) 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.
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.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
The 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 (8 inches)
or more between antenna and all
person's body (excluding extremities of
hands, wrist and feet). The handset may
be carried and operated with only the
optional specific belt-clip. Other nontested belt-clips or similar body-worn
accessories may not comply and must
be avoided. The product must not be
collocated or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
KX-TG5631/KX-TG5632/KX-TG5633/
KX-TG5634:
The software contained in this equipment
to allow user access to the network must
be upgraded to recognize newly
established network area codes and
exchange codes as they are placed into
service.
Notice
Failure to upgrade the premises systems
or peripheral equipment to recognize the
new codes as they are established will
restrict the customer and the customer’s
employees from gaining access to the
network and to these codes.
