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 by visiting our
Support page:
www.panasonic.ca/english/support
R Unplug from power outlets and never touch the

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.

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 C
onsult 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.).)
R Do not use the product in health care facilities if

used to make and receive calls. (You cannot
use the base unit display, phonebook,
one-touch dial, answering system,
