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.

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

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.

Answering System Features
you do not use the unit’s answering
system. Make sure that the answering
system is turned off (page 25).
– If you would rather use the unit’s
answering system than the voice mail
service provided by your service
provider/telephone company, ask your
service provider/telephone company to
deactivate your voice mail service.
If your service provider/telephone
company cannot do this, set this unit’s
“Number of Rings” setting so that this
unit’s answering system answers calls
before your service provider/telephone
company’s voice mail service tries to
answer your calls. 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.
Changing the number of rings
You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers calls.
You can select 2 to 7 rings, or “Auto”.“Auto”: The unit answers after 2 rings when
new messages have been recorded, and
after 5 rings when there are no new
messages. If you call your phone from
outside to listen to new messages (page
28), you will know that there are no new
messages when the phone rings for the 3rd
time. You can then hang up without being
charged for the call.
