may cause electric shock and/or excessive
heat resulting in a fire.
L 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.
L 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 an
authorised service centre.
L Unplug from power outlets and never touch
the inside of the product if its casing has
been broken open.
L Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Installation
L To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock,
do not expose the product to rain or any
type of moisture.
L Do not place or use this product near
automatically controlled devices such as

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.
Medical
L 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

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.
L 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.
L Charge the batteries provided with or
identified for use with this product only, in
accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in this manual.
L 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.
For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible Panasonic
units use radio waves to communicate with
each other.
L For 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.
– facing away from 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.)
L Coverage and voice quality depends on the
local environmental conditions.
L If the recep tion for a base unit location is not
satisfactory, move the base unit to another
location for better reception.

Note for connections
L The AC adaptor must remain
connected at all times. (It is normal for
the adaptor to feel warm during use.)
L The AC adaptor should be connected
to a vertically oriented or floormounted 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.
During a power failure
The unit will not work during a power
failure. We recommend connecting a
corded-type telephone (without AC
adaptor) to the same telephone line or to
the same telephone line jack, if you have
such a telephone jack in your house.
Note for battery installation
L Use the supplied rechargeable
batteries. For replacement, we
recommend using the Panasonic
rechargeable batteries noted on page
4, 8.
L Wipe the battery ends (S, T) with a
dry cloth.
L Avoid touching the battery ends
(S, T) or the unit contacts.
Note for battery charge
L It is normal for the handset to feel

L To use this unit’s answering system
rather than the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/
telephone company, please contact
your service provider/telephone
company to deactivate your voice mail

company does. It is necessary to
check the number of rings required
to activate the voice mail service
provided by your service
provider/telephone company before
changing this setting.
– Change the number of rings of the

answering system can answer the
call first. To do so, contact your
service provider/telephone
company.

Voice mail service
Voice mail is an automatic answering
service offered by your service provider/
telephone company. After you subscribe
to this service, your service provider/
telephone company’s voice mail system
answers calls for you when you are
unavailable to answer the phone or
when your line is busy. Messages are
recorded by your service provider/
telephone company, not your telephone.
When you have new messages, # is
displayed on the handset if message
indication service is available. Please
contact your service provider/telephone
company for details of this service.
Important:
L If # still remains on the display even
after you have listened to new
messages, turn it off by pressing and
holding {#} for 2 seconds.
L To use the voice mail service provided
by your service provider/telephone
