WARNING
General Safety
RDo not disassemble this unit. Dangerous electrical shock
could result. The unit must only be disassembled and
repaired by qualified service technicians.
RNever attempt to insert wires, pins, etc. into the vents or
other holes of this unit.
RTo prevent possible fire or electric shock, do not expose this
unit to rain or moisture.
RDo not splash water on the AC adaptor or the power cord,
nor get them wet. Doing so can result in fire, electric shock,
or injury. If they do get wet, immediately disconnect the AC
adaptor and power cord, and contact an authorized service
center.
RDo not touch the AC adaptor for extended periods of time.
Doing so can lead to low-degree burns.
RIf damage to the unit exposes any internal parts,
immediately disconnect the cable or cord. If the power is
supplied from the network to the IP-PT
[Power-over-Ethernet], disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Otherwise, disconnect the AC adaptor cord. Then return this
unit to a service center.

For Your Safety

RUnplug this unit from the AC outlet and have the unit
serviced by qualified service personnel in the following
cases:
A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled on the unit.
C. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the unit does not work normally by following the
manual. Adjust only controls covered by the manual.
Improper adjustment may require repair by an
authorized service center.
E. If the unit has been dropped, or damaged.
F. If the unit’s performance deteriorates.
RThis handset earpiece is magnetized and may retain small
ferrous objects.
RThe use of excessive sound volume through earphones,
headphones, or headsets may cause hearing loss.
RDisconnect this unit from power outlet/the Ethernet cables if
it emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes unusual noise.
These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm
that smoke has stopped and contact an authorized service
center.
Installation
RDo not make power connections that exceed the ratings for
the AC outlet or power equipment. If the power rating of a
surge protector, etc. is exceeded, it can cause a fire due to
heat buildup.
RDo not bundle up the AC adaptor cord. The cord may
become damaged, which can lead to a fire, electric shock,
or electric short.
RThe unit should only be connected to a power supply of the
type as shown on the label on the unit.

For Your Safety

Medical (KX-NT560 only)
RDo 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.
RConsult 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
2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz and the power output is 2.5 mW
[max.]).
Placement
RCare should be taken so that objects do not fall onto, and
liquids are not spilled into, the unit. Do not subject this unit
to excessive smoke, dust, moisture, mechanical vibration,
shock, or direct sunlight.
RDo not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
RPlace this unit on a flat surface.
RAllow 10 cm (3 15/16 in) clearance around the unit for proper
ventilation.
Wall Mounting
RMake sure that the wall that the unit will be attached to is
strong enough to support the unit (approx. 1.5 kg).
ROnly use the optional wall mount kit with the unit. The wall
mount kit includes the necessary screws, washers, and wall
mounting adaptor.
RWhen driving the screws into the wall, be careful to avoid
touching any metal laths, wire laths or metal plates in the
wall.
RWhen this unit is no longer in use, make sure to detach it
from the wall.

For Your Safety

CAUTION
RKeep the unit away from heating appliances and devices
that generate electrical noise, such as fluorescent lamps,
motors and televisions. These noise sources can interfere
with the performance of the unit. It also should not be
placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 0 °C
(32 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F).
RWipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not clean the unit with
abrasive powders or with chemical agents such as benzine
or thinner.
RThe handset hook poses a choking hazard. Keep the
handset hook out of reach of children.
RWhen left unused for a long period of time, disconnect the
unit from the AC outlet. When the unit receives power from
a PoE power supply, disconnect the Ethernet cables.
RWhen the unit is mounted on a wall, make sure the cables
are securely fastened to the wall.
Note
RIf the unit does not operate properly, disconnect the AC adaptor cord
and Ethernet cables and then connect again.
RIf you are having problems making calls, disconnect the Ethernet
cable and connect a known working IP-PT. If the known working
IP-PT operates properly, have the defective IP-PT repaired by an
authorized Panasonic factory service center. If the known working
IP-PT does not operate properly, check the PBX and the Ethernet
cable.
RUnder power failure conditions, the IP-PT may not operate. Please
ensure that a separate telephone, not dependent on local power, is
available for use in remote sites in case of emergency.
RFor information regarding network setup of the IP-PT such as IP
addresses, please refer to the Installation Manual for the PBX.
