Operating safeguards  
For your safety  
L Unplug the product from power outlets  
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or  
aerosol cleaners.  
L Do not disassemble the product.  
L Do 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.  
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  
Medical  
L Use only the power source marked on the  
product.  
L Consult 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 1.88  
GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF transmission  
power is 250 mW (max.).)  
L Do not overload power outlets and  
extension cords. This can result in the risk  
of fire or electric shock.  
L Completely 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.  
L Regularly 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.  
L Unplug 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 an  
authorised service centre.  
L Do 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 location  
L Unplug from power outlets and never touch  
the inside of the product if its casing has  
been broken open.  
L Never touch the plug with wet hands.  
Danger of electric shock exists.  
L Never install telephone wiring during an  
electrical storm.  
L Never install telephone line jacks in wet  
locations unless the jack is specifically  
designed for wet locations.  
L Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or  
terminals unless the telephone line has  
been disconnected at the network interface.  
L Use caution when installing or modifying  
telephone lines.  
Installation  
L To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock,  
do not expose the product to rain or any  
type of moisture.  
L Do 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.  
L Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone  
line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or  
placed under heavy objects.  
L The AC adaptor is used as the main  
disconnect device. Ensure that the AC  
outlet is installed near the product and is  
easily accessible.  
L This product is unable to make calls when:  
– the handset batteries need recharging or  
have failed.  
– there is a power failure.

Important Information  
Battery  
For best performance  
L We 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.  
L Do 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.  
L Exercise 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.  
L Charge the batteries provided with or  
identified for use with this product only, in  
accordance with the instructions and  
limitations specified in this manual.  
L Only 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.  
Base unit location/avoiding noise  
The base unit and other compatible Panasonic  
units use radio waves to communicate with  
each other.  
L For maximum coverage and noise-free  
communications, place your base unit:  
– at a convenient, high, and central  
location with no obstructions between  
the handset and base unit in an indoor  
environment.  
– away from electronic appliances such as  
TVs, radios, personal computers,  
wireless devices, or other phones.  
– facing away from radio frequency  
transmitters, such as external antennas  
of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid  
putting the base unit on a bay window or  
near a window.)  
L Coverage and voice quality depends on the  
local environmental conditions.  
L If the reception for a base unit location is not  
satisfactory, move the base unit to another  
location for better reception.  
Environment  
Important safety  
instructions  
L Keep the product away from electrical noise

Alarm  
Changing the handset name  
An alarm sounds at the set time for 3  
minutes once or daily. Alarm can be set  
for each handset.  
Each handset can be given a  
customised name (“Bob”, “Kitchen”,  
etc.). This is useful when you make  
intercom calls between handsets. You  
can also select whether or not the  
handset name is displayed in standby  
mode. The default setting is “Off”. If  
you select “On” without entering any  
handset name, “Handset 1” to  
“Handset 6” is displayed.

Voice Mail Service  
Voice mail service  
Voice mail is an automatic answering  
service offered by your service provider/  
telephone company. After you subscribe  
to this service, your service provider/  
telephone company’s voice mail system  
answers calls for you when you are  
unavailable to answer the phone or  
when your line is busy. Messages are  
recorded by your service provider/  
telephone company, not your telephone.  
When you have new messages, 6 is  
displayed on the handset if message  
indication service is available. Please  
contact your service provider/telephone  
company for details of this service.  
Important:  
L If 6 still remains on the display even  
after you have listened to new  
messages, turn it off by pressing and  
holding {#} for 2 seconds.  
L To use the voice mail service provided  
by your service provider/telephone  
company rather than the unit’s  
answering system, turn off the  
answering system (page 31). For  
details, see page 35. (KX-TG6521)
