Introduction
LDo not touch the plug with wet hands.
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 5760 MHz to 5840 MHz, and the power output level can range from 0.25 to 0.5 watts.) Do 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.

To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions.
LUse only the battery(ies) specified.
LDo not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. They may explode. Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions.
LDo not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
LExercise care when handling the battery(ies). Do not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch the battery(ies), otherwise a short circuit may cause the battery(ies) and/or the conductive material to overheat and cause burns.

Introduction
CAUTION:
LDo not immerse in water or leave under running water.
LKeep the handset away from salt water.
LAvoid exposure to prolonged high humidity.
LSince water in headset jack may cause damage, close the headset jack cover when the optional headset is not in use. When the optional headset is connected, do not use the handset with wet hands.
LIf the handset is wet, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
LThe base unit is not designed to be splash resistant. Do not place the wet handset on the base unit.
Shock-resistant (handset only)
The handset is designed to be shockresistant, however, it should not be thrown or stepped on.
For best performance
Base unit location
The base unit and handset use radio waves to communicate with each other. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following:
LPlacing the unit away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.
LPlacing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.
LRaising the antennas vertically.
Note:
LIf you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
LIf you use the handset near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.
Environment
LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe unit should be kept free from dust, high temperature and vibration.
LThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
LDo not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
LWhen you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from 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 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp basements should also be avoided.
LOperating near 5.8 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.
Routine care
LWipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or any abrasive powder.

Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
LUp to 5 hours of talk time.
LUp to 11 days of standby time (off the base unit or charger but not in use).
LUp to 3 hours of talk time when the clarity booster feature is turned on (page 19).
Note:
LBattery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until “Recharge battery” is displayed or 7flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
Battery replacement
Important:
LUse only the rechargeable Panasonic battery noted on page 5. If you install a non-rechargeable battery and start charging, the battery may leak electrolyte.
LIf battery performance diminishes, make sure you have cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery. The battery needs to be replaced if any of the following are displayed after a few phone calls even when you have fully charged the battery.
–“Recharge battery”
–7(flashing)
–“Charge for 6h”
–8
1 Release the battery cover latch and slide the cover open.
2 Replace the old battery with a new one, and close the cover (see page 10 for battery installation).
Attention:
A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.
