Introduction

LWhen a failure occurs which results in the internal parts becoming accessible, disconnect the power supply cord immediately and return the product to an authorised service centre.

LTo minimise the possibility of lightning damage, when you know that a thunderstorm is coming, we recommend that you:

–Unplug the telephone line cord from the phone socket.

–Unplug the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.

LNo “000” or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.

LThe earpiece on the handset is magnetised and may retain small metallic objects.

LThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with AS/NZS 3548: 1995 limits for electromagnetic interference. Any modifications to any part of the system or to any peripherals may void the EMC compliance of the system or the peripherals.

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:

LPlacing the product away from electrical appliances.

LPlacing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

LRaising the antennas vertically.

LIf 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.

LIf 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.

Environment

LKeep the product away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

LThe product should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature, and vibration.

LThe product should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

LDo not place heavy objects on top of the product.

LWhen you leave the product unused for a long period of time, unplug the product from the power outlet.

11

TG593xAL.book Page 12 Tuesday, April 11, 2006 10:31 AM

Introduction

LThe 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 or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should also be avoided.

LThe 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.

LOperating near 5.8 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

Routine care

LWipe the outer surface of the product with a soft moist cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.

Preparation

Setting up the base unit

Connecting the AC adaptor and telephone line cord

Connect the telephone line cord until it clicks into the base unit (A) and telephone line socket (B). Connect the AC adaptor cord by pressing the plug firmly (C).

LUse only the included Panasonic AC adaptor PQLV1AL.

Note:

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

LThe AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.

LThe unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a

standard telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack using a telephone double adaptor.

LThe unit is not designed to be used with rotary (pulse dialling) services.

If you subscribe to an ADSL service

Please attach a noise filter (contact your ADSL provider) to the telephone line between the base unit and the telephone line socket in the event of the following:

–Noise is heard during conversations.

–Caller ID features (page 28) do not function properly.

Preparation

Note:

LBattery operating time may be shortened over time depending on usage conditions and surrounding temperature.

LBattery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. Hence the longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the less time you may actually talk using the handset.

LAfter the handset is fully charged, displaying “Charge completed”, it may be left on the base unit (or charger) without any ill effect on the battery.

LThe battery level may not be displayed correctly after you replace the battery. In this case, place the handset on the base unit (or charger) and let charge for 7 hours.
