Introduction

For best performance

Base unit location/noise

The base unit and handset use radio waves to communicate with each other. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following:

LPlacing the unit away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.

LPlacing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

LRaising the antennas vertically.

LIf you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.

LIf you use the handset near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.

Environment

LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

LThe unit should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature and vibration.

LThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

LDo not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

LWhen you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from power outlet.

LThe unit should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp basements should also be avoided.

LThe maximum calling distance may be shortened when the unit is used in the following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

LOperating near 5.8 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

Routine care

LWipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or any abrasive powder.

Preparation

Battery performance

After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation	Operating time
While in use	Up to 5 hours
(talking)
While not in use	Up to 11 days
(standby)*1
While using the	Up to 3 hours
Clarity Booster
feature (page 19)

*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.

Note:

LBattery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.

LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until “Recharge battery” is displayed or 7flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

Battery replacement

If battery performance diminishes, make sure you have cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery. The battery needs to be replaced if any of the following are displayed after a few phone calls even when you have fully charged the battery.

–“Recharge battery”

–7(flashing)

–“Charge for 6h”

–8

LUse only the rechargeable Panasonic battery noted on page 5.

1Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow.

2Replace the old battery with a new one, and close the cover (see page 10 for battery installation).

Attention:

A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased.

Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.
