Charger
The charger can be mounted on the wall,
if required.
LUse only the supplied Panasonic AC
adaptor PQLV209E.
Note:
LThe AC adaptor must remain
connected at all times. (It is normal for
the adaptor to feel warm during use.)
LThe AC adaptor should be connected

mounted AC outlet. Do not connect
the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted
AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor
may cause it to become disconnected.
During a power failure
The unit will not work during a power
failure. We recommend connecting a
corded-type telephone (without AC
adaptor) to the same telephone line or to
the same telephone line jack using a T-
adaptor. Your Panasonic sales shop can
offer you more information about
connection possibilities.
If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL
service
Please attach a DSL/ADSL filter (contact
your DSL/ADSL provider) to the
telephone line between the base unit
and the telephone line jack in the event
of the following:
– noise is heard during conversations.
– Caller ID features do not function
properly.

performance (supplied batteries)
Note:
LIt is normal for batteries not to reach
full capacity at the initial charge.
Maximum battery performance is
reached after a few complete cycles of
charge/discharge (use).
LActual battery performance depends
on a combination of how often the
handset is in use and how often it is
not in use (standby).
LEven after the handset is fully
charged, the handset can be left on
the base unit or charger without any ill
effect on the batteries.
LThe battery level may not be
displayed correctly after you replace
the batteries. In this case, place the
