OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read before use,

Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Telephone Answering System with Facsimile.
Before using the unit, please read these OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
You can then easily install, configure and operate the unit properly.
This unit combines multiple functions of Facsimile, Answering Device and Telephone, so you

Important Information
If required by the telephone company, inform
them of the following.
ФЕСС Registration No.: (found on the rear side
of the unit)
eRinger Equivalence: 0.2B
eThe particular telephone line to which the
equipment is connected.
The unit must not be connected to a coin
operated line. If you are on a party line, check
with your local telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):
This REN is useful in determining the quantity of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most but not all
areas the sum of the REN's of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line, as determined by the
REN, you should contact your local telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for
your calling area.
In the event that terminal equipment causes
harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company should notify the customer, if possible,
that service may be stopped. However, where
prior notice is impractical, the company may
temporarily cease service providing that they:
(a) Promptly notify the customer.
(b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct
the problem with their equipment.
(c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a
complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out
in F.C.C. Rules and Regulations Subpart E
of Part 68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in
its communications facilities, equipment
operations or procedures, where such action is
reasonably required in the operation of its
business and is not inconsistent with the rules
and regulations in F.C.C. Part 68. If such
changes can be reasonably expected to render
any customer terminal equipment incompatible
with telephone company communications
facilities, or require modification or alteration of
such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially
affect its use or performance, the customer shall
be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the
customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
When programming emergency numbers and/or
making test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call before
hanging up.
. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours;
such as early morning or late evenings.
This telephone provides magnetic coupling
to hearing aids.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR
ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause interference to radio communications.
It has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference when operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference in which case the user at his own
expense will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the
interference.

When a call is received during your absence, the
unit records a voice-message and/or receives a
document automatically depending on the caller's
choice. In this mode, you also are able to speak
with the other party and transmit/receive a
document manually.
The unit automatically distinguishes between
voice and fax calls. If a fax tone is heard when
the call is answered, it will switch automatically to
the fax mode. If the caller’s voice is heard within
5 seconds of the end of the OGM, the unit
functions as an answering device.
FAX mode:

other equipment.
Ш If you connect another extension to the same line that your unit is connected to,
do not use another telephone during fax transmission and reception. It will affect
image quality.

Cassette Tape
•Маке sure that there is no slack in the tape. If there is any slack, remove it by
rotating the tape reel with an instrument like a pencil, as shown.
eFor optimum sound quality and performance, we recommend that you use the
opposite side (side-2) after six months and replace the tape with a new one every
year, assuming that the unit answers about ten calls a day.
eNever place a cassette tape near a magnetic source such as a magnet or a TV
set, because it may erase or break the recorded message on the tape.
eShould the cassette tape break or become worn, replace it with a new cassette
tape. We recommend to use the Panasonic cassette tape RT-MC30 or RT-MC60.
