Important Information

For your safety

To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this section carefully before using the product to ensure proper and safe operation of your product.

WARNING

Power connection

L Use only the power source marked on the product.

LDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

LCompletely insert the AC adaptor/power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.

LRegularly 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.

LUnplug 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.

LUnplug from power outlets and never touch the inside of the product if its casing has been broken open.

LNever touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

Installation

LTo prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.

LDo 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.

LDo not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

Operating safeguards

LUnplug the product from power outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

L Do not disassemble the product.

LDo 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.

LDo not excessively pull the corded handset cord from the base unit. This may cause the base unit to fall, resulting in injury.

Medical

LConsult 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 operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 250 mW (max.).)

LDo 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

LNever install telephone wiring during an electrical storm.

LNever install telephone line jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

LNever touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

LUse caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

LThe AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the product and is easily accessible.

LThe cordless handset is unable to make calls when:

–the handset batteries need recharging or have failed.

–there is a power failure.

–the key lock feature is turned on.

Battery

LWe recommend using the batteries noted on page 3.

USE ONLY rechargeable Ni-MH batteries AAA (R03) size.

L Do not mix old and new batteries.

LDo 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.

LExercise 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.

LCharge the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product only, in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

LOnly 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 explode.

Note when setting up

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.

LAvoid touching the battery ends (S, T) or the unit contacts.

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.

In continuous use	18 hours max.
Not in use (standby)	170 hours max.

Note:

LIt 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.

LThe 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.
