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.

LThe use of excessive sound volume through earphones, headphones, or headsets may cause hearing loss.

LDo not place a handset on the base unit with the headset jack cover opened.

Getting Started

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 floormounted 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.

During a power failure

The unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a corded-type telephone (without AC adaptor) to the same telephone line or to the same telephone line jack using a T- adaptor. Your Panasonic sales shop can offer you more information about connection possibilities.

Note for battery installation

L Use the supplied rechargeable batteries. For replacement, we recommend using the Panasonic rechargeable batteries noted on page 4, 7.

LWipe 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, base unit, 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.
