cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an  
insulation defect from moisture, etc.  
resulting in a fire.  
R 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 us  
R Unplug from power outlets and never touch  
the inside of the product if its casing has  
been broken open.  
Medical  
R 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  
1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF  
transmission power is 115 mW (max.).)  
R 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  
R Never touch the plug with wet hands.  
Danger of electric shock exists.  
R Never install telephone wiring during an  
electrical storm.  
R Never install telephone line jacks in wet  
locations unless the jack is specifically  
designed for wet locations.  
R Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or  
terminals unless the telephone line has  
been disconnected at the network interface.  
R Use caution when installing or modifying  
telephone lines.  
R The AC adaptor is used as the main  
disconnect device. Ensure that the AC  
outlet is installed near the product and is  
easily accessible.

Important Information  
R This product is unable to make calls when:  
– the handset batteries need recharging or  
have failed.  
Important safety  
instructions  
– there is a power failure.  
When using your product, basic safety  
precautions should always be followed to  
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and  
injury to persons, including the following:  
1. Do not use this product near water for  
example, near a bathtub, washbowl,  
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet  
basement or near a swimming pool.  
2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a  
cordless type) during an electrical storm.  
There may be a remote risk of electric  
shock from lightning.  
Battery  
R We recommend using the batteries noted  
on page 5. USE ONLY rechargeable  
Ni-MH batteries AAA (R03) size.  
R Do not mix old and new batteries.  
R 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.  
R 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.  
R Charge the batteries provided with or  
identified for use with this product only, in  
accordance with the instructions and  
limitations specified in this manual.  
3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas  
leak in the vicinity of the leak.  
4. Use only the power cord and batteries  
indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of  
batteries in a fire. They may explode.  
Check with local codes for possible special  
disposal instructions.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
R 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.  
For best performance  
Base unit location/avoiding noise  
Attention:  
The base unit and other compatible Panasonic  
units use radio waves to communicate with  
each other.  
R 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.)  
A nickel metal hydride battery that is  
recyclable powers the product you have  
purchased.  
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY  
(1-800-822-8837) for information on how to  
recycle this battery.  
R Coverage and voice quality depends on the

R This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use  
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a  
Caller ID service. Contact your service  
provider/telephone company for details.  
This feature lets you know who is calling  
without looking at the display.  
To use this feature, you must:  
– subscribe to a Caller ID service of your  
service provider/telephone company.  
– turn this feature on (page 29).  
Caller ID features  
When caller information is received, the  
handsets and/or base unit announce the  
caller’s name or phone number received from  
your service provider/telephone company  
following every ring.  
When an outside call is being received, the  
caller information is displayed.  
Caller information for the last 50 callers is  
logged in the caller list from the most recent  
call to the oldest.  
The unit announces in English only.  
R Name pronunciation may vary. This feature  
may not pronounce all names correctly.  
R Caller ID service has a limit of how many  
characters can be displayed. If the caller’s  
name is too long, the unit may not be able  
to display or announce the entire name.  
R If the unit cannot receive caller information,  
the following is displayed:  
Out of area: The caller dials from  
an area which does not provide a Caller  
ID service.  
Private caller: The caller  
requests not to send caller information.  
Long distance: The caller makes a  
long distance call.  
Phonebook name announcement  
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system,  
caller information may not be properly  
received. Contact your PBX supplier.  
When caller information is received and it  
matches a phone number stored in the  
phonebook, the stored name in the  
phonebook is announced.  
Missed calls  
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a  
missed call. The display shows Missed  
call.  
Caller list  
Important:  
Note:  
R Make sure the unit’s date and time setting  
is correct (page 14).

Caller ID Service  
For example, you can use this feature to set  
the unit to ignore the area code of callers in  
your area, so that you can call these local  
numbers using caller information without  
dialing the area code.  
To activate this feature, you must edit an entry  
in the caller list, then call that number. After  
that, phone numbers from that caller’s area  
code are edited automatically.

When Missed callis displayed and the  
indicator flashes slowly, there are missed
