Introduction  
L The maximum calling distance may be  
shortened when the unit is used in the  
following places: Near obstacles such as  
hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal  
objects such as wire fences, etc.  
For best performance  
Base unit location/noise  
The base unit and handset use radio  
waves to communicate with each other.  
For maximum distance and noise-free  
operation, we recommend the following:  
L Operating near 5.8 GHz electrical  
appliances may cause interference.  
Move away from the electrical  
appliances.  
L Placing the unit away from electrical  
appliances such as a TV, personal  
computer or another cordless phone.  
Routine care  
L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a  
soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or  
any abrasive powder.  
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and  
CENTRAL location with no obstructions  
such as walls.  
L Raising the antennas vertically.  
L If 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.  
L If 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  
L Keep the unit away from electrical noise  
generating devices, such as fluorescent  
lamps and motors.  
L The unit should be kept free from  
excessive smoke, dust, high  
temperature and vibration.  
L The unit should not be exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
L Do not place heavy objects on top of the  
unit.

Battery performance  
Battery replacement  
After your Panasonic battery is fully  
charged, you can expect the following  
performance:  
If 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.

*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger  
but not in use.  
L Use only the rechargeable Panasonic  
battery noted on page 5.  
Note:  
1 Press the notch on the cover firmly and  
slide it as indicated by the arrow.  
L Battery 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.  
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do  
not have to charge it again until  
Recharge battery” is displayed or  
7 flashes. This will maximize the  
battery life.  
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

When you hold the phone to your ear,  
noise might be heard in your Hearing Aid.  
Some Hearing Aids are not adequately  
shielded from external RF (radio

an optional headset accessory or the  
speakerphone option (if applicable) when  
using this phone. Consult with your  
audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer  
about the availability of Hearing Aids

NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and  
found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part  
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation. This equipment  
generates, uses, and can radiate radio

used in accordance with the instructions,  
may cause harmful interference to radio

guarantee that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by  
turning the equipment off and on, the

undesired operation.  
Some cordless telephones operate at  
frequencies that may cause interference  
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or  
prevent such interference, the base of  
the cordless telephone should not be  
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If  
interference is experienced, move the  
cordless telephone further away from the  
TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or  
eliminate, interference.  
Privacy of communications may not be  
ensured when using this phone.
