Operating safeguards

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.

L Do not overload power outlets and

extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

L Completely 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Medical

L Consult 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.).)

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 location

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 This product 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.

TG8511_19BX(e).book Page 6 Thursday, July 8, 2010 5:44 PM

Important Information

Battery

L We recommend using the batteries noted

on page 4. USE ONLY rechargeable Ni-

MH batteries AAA (R03) size.

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 base unit (or

charger) to charge the batteries. Do not tamper with the base unit (or charger). Failure to follow these instructions may cause the batteries to swell or explode.

For best performance

Base unit location/avoiding noise

The base unit and other compatible Panasonic units use radio waves to communicate with each other.

L For maximum coverage and noise-free

communications, place your base unit: – at a convenient, high, and central

location with no obstructions between

the handset and base unit in an indoor

environment. – away from electronic appliances such as

TVs, radios, personal computers,

wireless devices, or other phones. – facing away from radio frequency

transmitters, such as external antennas

of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid

putting the base unit on a bay window or

near a window.)

L Coverage and voice quality depends on the

local environmental conditions.

L If the reception fo r a base unit location is not

satisfactory, move the base unit to another location for better reception.

Important safety instructions

the 2nd caller’s information is displayed after you hear the call waiting tone on the handset.

Incoming call barring (Caller ID subscribers only)

This feature allows the unit to reject calls from specified phone numbers that you do not want to answer such as junk calls. When a call is received, the unit does not ring while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call barred list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, and then disconnects the call.

Important:

L When the unit receives a call from a

number that is stored in the call barred list, the call is logged in the caller list (page 32) with 7 after the call is disconnected.

Storing unwanted callers

You can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call barred list by using the caller list or by entering the numbers directly.

Operating additional units

Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves out of range of its base unit when “Auto” is selected on base unit (page 29), it looks for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.

Registering a handset to a base unit

The supplied handset and base unit are pre-registered. If for some reason the handset is not registered to the base unit (for example, _ is displayed even when the handset is near the base unit), reregister the handset.

Using Caller ID service

Important:

L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To

use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/ telephone company for details.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is being received, the caller’s phone number is displayed. Caller information for the last 50 callers is logged in the caller list from the most recent call to the oldest. L If the unit cannot receive caller

information, the following is displayed: – “Out of Area”: The caller dials

from an area which does not provide a Caller ID service.

– “Private Caller”: The caller

requests not to send caller information.

L If the unit is connected to a PBX

system, caller information may not be properly received. Contact your PBX supplier.

Missed calls

If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a missed call and y is displayed. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were away. Even if only one missed call in the caller list is viewed (page 32), y disappears from the display. When you receive another new call, y is displayed again.

Note:

L Even when there are unviewed

missed calls, y disappears from the standby display if the following operation is performed by one of the registered handsets:

charger.

– Pressing {ic}.

Phonebook name display

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is displayed and logged in the caller list.

Category settings for phonebook

Category settings can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer tones and display colours for different categories of callers. When adding an entry to the phonebook, you can assign it to the desired category (page 18). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the category’s display colour and ringer tone you selected are used.

Changing category ringer tones
