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.
– away from electronic appliances
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.
Routine care
LWipe the outer surface of the product
with a soft moist cloth. Do not use
benzine, thinner, or any abrasive
powder.
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.
