appliances.
LPlacing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
LRaising the antennas vertically.
LIf 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.
LIf 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.

Setting up the base unit
Connecting the AC adaptor and
telephone line cord
Connect the telephone line cord until it
clicks into the base unit (A) and telephone
line socket (B). Connect the AC adaptor
cord by pressing the plug firmly (C).
LUse only the included Panasonic AC

failure. We recommend connecting a
standard telephone to the same
telephone line or to the same telephone
socket using a telephone double
adaptor.
LThe unit is not designed to be used with
rotary (pulse dialling) services.

Battery level
Note:
LWhen the battery needs to be charged,
the handset beeps intermittently while it
is in use.
Panasonic battery performance
Note:
LBattery operating time may be
shortened over time depending on
usage conditions and surrounding
temperature.
LBattery power is consumed whenever
the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in
use. Hence the longer you leave the
handset off the base unit or charger, the
less time you may actually talk using the
handset.
LAfter the handset is fully charged,
displaying “Charge completed”, it
may be left on the base unit (or charger)
without any ill effect on the battery.
LThe battery level may not be displayed
correctly after you replace the battery. In
this case, place the handset on the base
unit (or charger) and let charge for 7
hours.
