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 fl 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.

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).
