power outlet. Failure to do so 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 fro m power outlets if it emits smoke,
an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These
conditions can caus e 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 automatic doors and fire
alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may
cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an
accident.
L Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to
be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy
objects.
Operating safeguards
L Unplug the product from power outlets before cleaning.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
L Do not disassemble the product.
L 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.
L Do not excessively pull the corded handset cord from
the base unit. This may cause the base unit to fall,
resulting in injury.
Medical
L Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from ext ernal
RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product operates in
the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the
RF transmission power is 250 mW (max.).)
L 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 relocation
L Never install telephone wiring during an electrical
storm.
L Never install telephone line jacks in wet locations
unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
L Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals
unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
L Use caution when installing or modifying telephone
lines.
L The AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device.
Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the product
and is easily accessible.
L The cordless handset is unable to make calls when:
– the handset batteries need recharging or have
failed.

L Do not mix old and new batteries.
L 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.
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 charger to charge the batteries.
Do not tamper with the charger. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause the batteries to swell or

Getting started
Note when setting up
Panasonic Ni-MH battery performance
(supplied batteries)
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 floor-mounted AC outlet.
Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceilingmounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor
may cause it to become disconnected.
During a power failure
The base unit will work as a standard telephone
using power from the telephone line, so you can
make and answer outside calls with the corded
handset. However, this operation may not work
properly depending on area or telephone line’s
condition. The base unit speakerphone and the
cordless handset will not function during a power
failure.
Note for battery installation
L Use the supplied rechargeable batteries. For
replacement, we recommend using the
Panasonic rechargeable batteries noted on
page 3, 4.
L Wipe the battery ends (S, T) with a dry cloth.
L Avoid touching the battery ends (S, T) or the
unit contacts.
Operation Operating time
In continuous use 18 hours max.
Not in use (standby) 170 hours max.
Note:
L It is normal for batteries not to reach full capacity
at the initial charge. Maximum battery
performance is reached after a few complete
cycles of charge/discharge (use).
L Actual battery performance depends on a
combination of how often the handset is in use
and how often it is not in use (standby).
L Even after the handset is fully charged, the
handset can be left on the charger without any ill
effect on the batteries.
L The battery level may not be displayed correctly
after you replace the batteries. In this case,
place the handset on the charger and let it
charge for at least 7 hours.
Note for battery charge
L It is normal for the handset to feel warm during
charging.
L Clean the charge contacts of the handset and
charger with a soft and dry cloth once a month.
Clean more often if the unit is exposed to
grease, dust, or high humidity.
