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.
WARNING
Power connection
L Use only the power source marked on the product.
LDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire 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 fire.
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 fire.
LUnplug the product from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact the Panasonic Call Center at 1-800-211-PANA (1-800-211-7262).
LUnplug from power outlets and never touch the inside of the product if its casing has been broken open.
LNever touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Installation
LTo prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.
LDo not place 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.
LDo not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.
Operating safeguards
LUnplug the product from power outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
L Do not disassemble the product.
LDo not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers, etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or allow it to become wet at all. This may cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug becomes wet, immediately pull it from the telephone wall jack, and do not use.
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 product operates in
the frequency range of 1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 115 mW (max.).)
LDo 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 energy.
CAUTION
Installation and relocation
LNever install telephone wiring during an electrical storm.
LNever install telephone line jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
LNever touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
LUse caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
LThe AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the product and is easily accessible.
LThis product is unable to make calls when:
–the handset batteries need recharging or have failed.
–there is a power failure.
Battery
LWe recommend using the batteries noted on page 4.
USE ONLY rechargeable Ni-MH batteries AAA (R03) size.
L Do not mix old and new batteries.
LDo not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte from the batteries is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful if swallowed.
LExercise care when handling the batteries. 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.
LCharge the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product only, in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
LOnly use a compatible base unit (or charger) to charge the batteries. Do not tamper with the base unit (or charger). Failure to follow these instructions may cause the batteries to swell or explode.
