For your safety

To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this section carefully before using the product to ensure proper and safe operation of your product.

WARNING

Power connection

R Use only the power source marked on the product. R Do not overload power outlets and extension cords.

This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

R Completely insert the AC adaptor/power plug into the

power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.

R Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the AC adaptor/

power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, then wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.

R Unplug the product from power outlets if it emits

smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact us at www.panasonic.com/contactinfo

R Unplug from power outlets and never touch the inside

of the product if its casing has been broken open.

R Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of

electric shock exists.

Installation

R To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not

expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.

R Do not place or use this product near automatically

controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an accident.

R Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to

be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

Operating safeguards

R Unplug the product from power outlets before cleaning.

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

R Do not disassemble the product. R Do not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers, etc.) onto

the telephone line cord plug, or allow it to become wet at all. This may cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug becomes wet, immediately pull it from the telephone wall jack, and do not use.

R Do not excessively pull the corded handset cord from

the base unit. This may cause the base unit to fall, resulting in injury.

Medical

R 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 product operates in

the frequency range of 1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 115 mW (max.).)

R Do not use the product 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 energy.

CAUTION

Installation and location

R Never install telephone wiring during an electrical

storm.

R Never install telephone line jacks in wet locations

unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

R Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals

unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

R Use caution when installing or modifying telephone

lines.

R The AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device.

Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the product and is easily accessible.

R This cordless handset is unable to make calls when:

– the handset batteries need recharging or have failed. – there is a power failure.

Ni-MH rechargeable batteries

R We recommend using the batteries noted on page 4.

USE ONLY rechargeable Ni-MH batteries AAA (R03) size.

R Do not mix old and new batteries. R Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released

electrolyte from the batteries is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful if swallowed.

R Exercise care when handling the batteries. Do not

allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or keys to touch the batteries, otherwise a short circuit may cause the batteries and/or the conductive material to overheat and cause burns.

R Charge the batteries provided with or identified for use

with this product only, in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

R Only use a compatible base unit (or charger) to charge

the batteries. Do not tamper with the base unit (or charger). Failure to follow these instructions may cause the batteries to swell or explode.

Attention:

A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) for information on how to recycle this battery.

Battery saving mode setting

This feature allows the base unit to reduce its power consumption by limiting the available functions and therefore extend battery life during a power failure. The following settings are available: – “On”: The unit will work as a standard

telephone. Only the corded handset can be used to make and receive calls. (You cannot use the base unit display, phonebook, one-touch dial, answering system, speakerphone, etc.) The base unit display is blank.

– “Off” (default): You can use the full functions

of the base unit, but battery life is not extended. The brightness level for the base unit display is lowered.
