Important Information
For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper and safe operation of your unit.
WARNING
Power connection
LUse only the power source marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
LUse only the speci ed AC adaptor. LDo not place objects on the power cord. Install the unit where no one can step or trip on the cord. LDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of re or electric shock. LCompletely 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 fi re.
LRegularly 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 fi re.
LUnplug this unit from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell or makes unusual noise. These
conditions can cause fi re or electric shock. Confi rm that smoke has stopped and contact an authorized service center.
LNever touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Installation
LTo prevent the risk of fi re or electrical shock, do not expose the product (excluding the door station) to rain or
any type of moisture.
LDo not install or use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and fi re
alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an accident.
LDo not allow the AC adaptor or power cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.
Operating safeguards
LTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this unit. Refer servicing to an authorized service
center when service is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
LDo not touch the main monitor station and the AC adaptor/power plug during an electrical storm. There may be
a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
LNever push any objects through slots in this unit. This may result in the risk of fi re or electric shock. Never spill
any liquid on the unit.
LUnplug this unit from power outlets and refer servicing to an authorized service center when the following
conditions occur: A. If the power cord is damaged or frayed. B. If metal objects have been dropped inside the main monitor station. C. If the main monitor station or the sub monitor station has been exposed to rain or water, or liquid has been
spilled into the unit. Do not use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process of any parts of the unit to avoid permanent damage.
D. If the unit has been dropped or physically damaged.
Medical
LConsult 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 unit operates in the frequency
range of 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz, and the power output level can range from 0.03 W to 0.175 W.)
LDo not use the unit 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.

Important Information
For best performance
Before using
LIt is prohibited to disassemble or modify this unit. Contact the dealer where you purchased this unit for repair. LWhen power fails, this unit cannot be used. LFor the recorded image:
The recorded image may be lost when:
– Mishandled – Electric shock or radio wave interference occurs. – The power is turned off during use.
(We might not be held responsible for the damage.)
Location/avoiding noise (Main monitor station/sub monitor station)
The main monitor station and the sub monitor station use radio waves to communicate with each other. LFor maximum coverage and noise-free communications, install your main monitor station:
– at a convenient, high, and central location with no obstructions between the sub monitor station and main
monitor station in an indoor environment.
– away from electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, personal computers, microwave ovens, wireless
devices, wireless routers, or digital cordless phones.
– facing away from radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone cell stations.
(Avoid installing the main monitor station near a window.)
LIf you use the sub monitor station near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move
away from the microwave oven and closer to the main monitor station.
LCoverage and voice quality depends on the local environmental conditions.
Environment
LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as uorescent lamps and motors. LThe unit should be kept away from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature and vibration. LThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight. LWhen you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug it from the 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 0 °C or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should also be avoided.
LThe maximum calling distance between the main monitor station and the sub monitor station (approx. 100 m)
may be shortened when the product is used in the places: – Where there are following obstacles between the main monitor station and the sub monitor station:
• Metal doors or metal shutters.
• Heat insulation including aluminum foil.
• Concrete walls or walls made of galvanized iron sheet.
• When using the sub monitor station on the different fl oor or house in the same grounds from where the main monitor station has been installed.
• Many walls.
LOperating near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical
appliances.
Important:
LWhen you move the sub monitor station from a cold place to a warm place, wait a little while to let the sub
monitor station adapt to the change in environment before use. In this case, condensation such as the formation of dew may occur, resulting in error or malfunction.

Important Information
Other information
Tapping
This unit uses digital wireless technology so that a call is rarely intercepted. However, calls may be tapped by a third party because the unit also communicates using radio waves. L“Tapping” means that the other party intercepts a radio message intentionally or accidentally by using a
receiver.
Privacy and rights of portrait
When installing or using the door station, please take into consideration the rights of others with regard to privacy. LIt is generally said that “Privacy” means the ability of an individual or group to stop information about
themselves from becoming known to people other than those whom they choose to give the information. “Rights of portrait” means the right to be safe from having your own image taken and used indiscriminately without consent.
Others
LPanasonic assumes no responsibility for injuries or property damage resulting from failures arising out of
improper installation or operation inconsistent with both the Installation Guide and Operating Instructions.
LIf you stop using the main monitor station and the door station, remove the main monitor station and the door
station from the walls to prevent them from falling off.
Note for product disposal, transfer, or return
LThis product can store your private/confi dential information.
To protect your privacy/confi dentiality, we recommend that you erase the information (recorded images) from the memory before you dispose of, transfer or return the product. All the recorded images can be erased at once by initializing the main monitor station. Set “INIT + DEL ALL PICTURES” in “INITIALIZE SETTINGS” (page 39).
