R Use only the power source marked on the product. R Do not overload power outlets and extension cords.

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

R 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.

R 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.

R 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 us at http://www.panasonic.com/contactinfo

R Unplug from power outlets and never touch the inside

of the product if its casing has been broken open.

R Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of

electric shock exists.

Installation

R To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not

expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.

R 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.

R Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to

be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

Operating safeguards

R Unplug the product from power outlets before cleaning.

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

R Do not disassemble the product. R 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.

R Do not excessively pull the corded handset cord from

the base unit. This may cause the base unit to fall, resulting in injury.

Medical

R 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 1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 115 mW (max.).)

Link to cell feature

You can connect your base unit and cellular phone using Bluetooth wireless technology, so that you can make or answer cellular calls using your phone system. This allows you to: – use the unit to talk on cellular calls even if some

areas of your home have poor cellular reception, simply by placing your cellular phone in an area with good reception.

– talk on cellular calls even if your cellular phone

is in your pocket or bag.

– enjoy cordless cellular calls even if your cellular

phone plugged in and charging.

Important:

R Your cellular phone must support the Hands

Free Profile (HFP) specification.

R You may pair a maximum of 4 cellular phones

and 1 headset. However, the base unit allows only one Bluetooth to be active at a time.

R Locate your cellular phone near the base unit. If

the cellular phone is too close to the base unit during a cellular call, you may hear noise. For best performance, we recommend placing the cellular phone between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet) away from the base unit.

Pairing a cellular phone

Program this setting using either the base unit or one of the handsets.

Important:

R For more details and the list of compatible

cellular phones, please visit our Web site: http://www.panasonic.com/link2cell

R Before pairing a Bluetooth enabled cellular

phone to the base unit, make sure that no other Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth headset is connected to your cellular phone.

Ring as cell mode

Once this feature is turned on, the handset and base unit ring using the same ringer tone as your cellular phone. The following settings are available: – “Off”: Turn this feature off to use the ringer

tones of the handset and base unit. Caller information is announced depending on the Talking Caller ID setting (page 47).
