Introduction
For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible Panasonic units use radio waves to communicate with each other.
LFor maximum coverage and noise-
free communications, place your base unit: – at a convenient, high, and central
location with no obstructions between the handset and base unit in an indoor environment.

such as TVs, radios, personal computers, wireless devices or other phones.
– avoid facing radio frequency
transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone cell stations (avoid putting the base unit on a bay window or near a window).
LCoverage and voice quality depends
on the local environmental conditions.
LIf the reception for a base unit location
is not satisfactory, move the base unit to another location for better reception.
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 (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). 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 the product near electrical
appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.
