Introduction

1. Overview

Panasonic’s modern technology produced a digital cordless telephone system using the DECT technology. This system is either installed behind an existing customer’s PBX/Key system or installed directly to public telephone lines. It provides a cordless communication facility to the users. Extension telephones of customer may be replaced by a cordless handset, or user may have a cordless handset in addition to an existing wired telephone.

The Panasonic Cordless System consists of a Radio Exchange (RE), a Cell Station (CS), and a personal handy terminal (PS).

Up to 24 telephone lines or PBX/Key system extensions can be connected to the radio Exchange (RE) and up to 24 portable handsets are used in the system. Each portable handset have own telephone number or extension number in the PBX/Key system, and can receive and originate a call.

Thanks to the digital technology, a user of this cordless telephone system enjoys a clear speech with lesser noise as well as a protection from tapping.

Note: To assure the safe use of your telephone, please observe the following guidelines for installation and use.

1) Do not use the telephone near sources of electric ‘noise’ such as fluorescent lamps, air conditioner, washing machine, TV sets or radios.

2) The telephone should not be exposed to heat sources, direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, moisture, strong vibrations, greasy or dusty environments. Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C Operating humidity: 0% to 60%

3) Never attempt to insert wires, pins, or similar objects in the vents or openings of the telephone set.

4) Never clean the telephone with benzene, paint thinner or other solvent materials. Wipe with a soft cloth.

5) Do not change the unit installation location without consulting your dealer/installer.

6) Installation of telephone system close to welding equipment, or broadcasting aerial may cause radio interference to speech.

IMPORTANT

1) This apparatus must be installed in accordance with BS6701 and general approval NS/G/ 23/L/100005. This is a condition of the approval and any installation which does not comply with the above will invalidate the approval status of that particular installation.

2) This equipment requires a maintenance contract issued by a maintainer holding BSI approval. This is a statutory requirement.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR U.K.

1) Please ensure that the apparatus is not connected in parallel to any other equipment that is intended for connection to the PSTN.

2) Although Radio Exchange can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling. Only the performance of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private emergency services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.

2. Safety Information

This equipment is intended for use when supplied with power from the charger through the AC Adaptor. Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous.

Switch off your DECT telephone when in an aircraft. The use of telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft.

You are advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.

You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Do not use a hand-held telephone or microphone while you are driving. Find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a hands-free microphone if it will take your mind off the road. You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call, except in an emergency.

Care must be taken when using the telephone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. Avoid contact between the antenna and face (especially eyes) during a call. Take care when using a telephone in crowded places.
