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

Battery level
Panasonic Ni-MH battery performance
(supplied batteries)
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.
