Bone conduction earpiece
(KX-TG7180 only)
The handset features a bone conduction
earpiece that uses vibrations to create
sound during your telephone conversations.
For proper operation press the bone
conduction earpiece against your face near
the ear.
Normally, sound enters the ear canal and
vibrates the eardrum. People feel the
vibration within the inner ear and
comprehend it as it is received by the
auditory nerve.

To telephone
network
Use only the included AC
adaptor and telephone
line cord.
Note:
L Never install telephone wiring during a
lightning storm.
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
ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight
of the adaptor may cause it to become
disconnected.
L The unit will not work during a power
failure. We therefore recommend you
also connect a corded-type telephone
(without AC adaptor) to the same
telephone line using a T-adaptor. Your
Panasonic sales shop can offer you more
information about connection possibilities.

and base unit with a soft, dry cloth once a
month, otherwise the batteries may not
charge properly. Clean more often if the
unit is exposed to grease, dust, or high
humidity.
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 Battery operating time may be shortened
over time depending on usage conditions
and ambient temperature.
L Even after the handset is fully charged,
the handset can be left on the base unit
without any ill effect on the batteries.
L The battery strength may not be displayed
correctly after you replace the batteries. In
this case, place the handset on the base
unit and charge for at least 7 hours.
