Installation/Registering the range extender to the base unit

Once the unit is connected to a power outlet in step 3, it automatically goes into registration mode (if not already registered).

1Range extender: Connect the AC adaptor.

LUse only the supplied Panasonic AC adaptor PQLV219.

Hook

Press plug firmly.

2Base unit: Press and hold {LOCATOR} for about 5 seconds.

LDepending on the base unit, a registration tone sounds.

LIf all registered handsets start ringing, press the same button to stop. Then repeat this step.

LThe next step must be completed within 90 seconds.

3Range extender: Connect the AC adaptor to a power outlet.

(120 V AC, 60 Hz)

LWhen the unit is turned on, the STATUS indicator and w indicator light amber for about 2 seconds.

4Range extender: Confirm that the STATUS indicator and w indicator light green. (The unit is ready for use.)

LIf the indicators do not light green, re-position the unit in a place where the indicators light green.

5Base unit: To exit registration mode, press {LOCATOR}.

Note:

LThe AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)

LThe 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.

LThe unit can support a maximum of 2 handsets at a time. LUp to 2 range extenders can be registered to the base unit.
