Important information
2.1 For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property,
read this section carefully before using the
product to ensure proper and safe operation of
your product.
Preventing fire and electric shock
R Use only the power source marked on the
product. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company.
R Use only the specified AC adaptor.
R Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this
product. Contact an authorised service centre
for repairs.
R Never touch the AC adaptor and power plug
with wet hands.
R Do not touch the AC adaptor and power plug
during an electrical storm.
R Do not use the product (excluding the
doorphone) in areas that are exposed to rain,
moisture, steam, or oily smoke, or areas that
have excessive dust.
R Do not perform any actions (such as
fabricating, twisting, stretching, bundling,
forcibly bending, damaging, altering, exposing
to heat sources, or placing heavy objects on
the power cable and the AC adaptor) that may
damage the power cable and the AC adaptor.
Using the product with a damaged power cable
or AC adaptor may cause electric shock, short
circuits, or fire. Contact an authorised service
centre for repairs.
R Do not overload the power outlet or wiring
above the specified levels. Overloading by
having many connections on one power outlet
may cause heat generation, resulting in a fire.
R Never put metal objects inside the product.
Never spill any liquid on the product (excluding
the doorphone).
If metal objects enter the product or the
product becomes wet, unplug the product from
the power outlet and contact an authorised
service centre.
R Do not use a microwave oven or other devices,
such as electromagnetic cookers, to speed up
the drying process of any parts of the product.
R Completely insert the AC adaptor and power
plug into the power outlets. Failure to do so
may cause electric shock and/or excessive
heat resulting in a fire. Do not use damaged
AC adaptor, power plug, or power outlets.
R Regularly remove any dust, etc., from the AC
adaptor and power plug by unplugging them
from the power outlets, then wiping them with a
dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an
insulation defect from moisture, etc., resulting
in a fire.
R Unplug the product from the power outlet if the
product emits smoke, an abnormal smell or
makes unusual noise, or if the product has
been dropped or physically damaged. These
conditions can cause fire or electric shock.
Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and
contact an authorised service centre.
R Hold the main body (not the metal parts) of the
AC adaptor and power plug when unplugging
them. Unplugging the AC adaptor and power
plug while holding their cords or cords’ plugs
may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
Preventing accidents
R Do not use the product in health care facilities
if any regulations posted in the area instruct
you not to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF (radio frequency)
energy.
R Do not install 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 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 2.4 GHz and 2.48 GHz
with a peak transmission power of 100 mW
(max.).)
CAUTION
Preventing accidents, injuries, and property
damage
R Do not use the product in unstable areas or
areas prone to strong vibrations. This may
cause the product to fall, resulting in damage
to the product or injury.
R Do not put your ear(s) near the speaker, as
loud sounds emitted from the speaker may
cause hearing impairment.

a fire.
R Do not touch the ends of batteries ( , ) with
metal objects.
R Handle the batteries with care. Do not allow
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets
or keys to touch the batteries, otherwise a
short circuit may cause the batteries and/or the
conductive material to overheat and cause
burns.
R Only use the specified charger and AC adaptor
to charge the batteries. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause the batteries to swell or
explode.
2.2 Important safety instructions
When using this product, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 For best performance
Location/avoiding noise (main monitor/sub
monitor)
The main monitor, sub monitor, and other compatible
Panasonic units use radio waves to communicate with
each other. (The product operates in the frequency
range of 2.4 GHz and 2.48 GHz with a peak
transmission power of 100 mW (max.).)
R For maximum coverage (approx. 100 m) and noise-
free communications, install your main monitor:
– at a convenient, high, and central location with
no obstructions between the sub monitor and
main monitor in an indoor environment.
– away from electronic appliances such as TVs,
radios, personal computers, wireless devices, or
digital cordless phones.
– facing away from radio frequency transmitters,
such as external antennas of mobile phone
stations. (Avoid installing the main monitor near
a window.)
R If you use the sub monitor near a microwave oven
which is being used, noise may be heard. Move
away from the microwave oven and closer to the
main monitor.
R Coverage and voice quality depends on the local
environmental conditions.
Environment (main monitor/sub monitor)
R Keep the unit (main monitor/extension monitor and
sub monitor) away from electrical noise generating
devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
R The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
R The unit should be kept away from heat sources
such as radiators, cookers, etc. It should not be
placed in rooms where the temperature is less than
0 °C or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should
also be avoided.
R Do not install the product in locations that are
suspect to sudden changes in temperature. Failure
to do so may cause condensation to form on the
product causing malfunction.
R Even when the main monitor and sub monitor are
used within 100 m of each other, obstructions can
cause weak signals, noise, interrupted
transmissions, distorted images and slow image
refresh rates. Obstructions can include:
– Metal doors or metal shutters.
– Heat insulation including aluminium foil.
– Concrete walls or walls made of galvanized iron
sheet.
– If the sub monitor is being used in a different
building, or a different part of the house, i.e. a
different floor to the where the main monitor has
been installed.
– Many walls.
– Double insulated glass windows.
R Some types of hearing aids may receive noise from
wireless communications between the main monitor,
sub monitor, and other compatible Panasonic units.
R Operating the unit near electrical appliances may
cause interference. Move away from the electrical
appliances.
R In areas surrounded by a high electrical field,
disturbances may occur in the unit's image or
sound.
