Notes for KX-WT115 PS Users
The operation and display of the KX-WT115 may differ from KX-TCA series PSs. For example, when the
KX-WT115 is not answered while using it in parallel with a wired telephone, the display of incoming call log is
different from that of the display of KX-TCA series PSs.
Notes for KX-NT300 Series, KX-NT500 Series, KX-UT Series, and S-PS Users
If the primary PBX to which your telephone is connected fails, the extension may automatically switch its
connection to a secondary PBX.
•The time required to switch to the secondary PBX or back to the primary PBX is different depending on
the type of your telephone.
•When the extension switches its connection to the secondary PBX, your call will be disconnected if you
are on a call.
•Even if the primary PBX becomes available again, your telephone will not reconnect to it if you are on a
call.
•For KX-NT300 series and KX-NT500 series users, if background music (BGM) is being played through
your telephone while it is connected to the secondary PBX, it will not reconnect to the primary PBX when
it becomes available.
Notes for KX-NT543 and KX-NT546 IP-PT Users
•While using a KX-NT543 or KX-NT546 IP-PT in ECO mode, IP network transmission speed is relatively
slow and the secondary Ethernet port cannot be used. To disable ECO mode, consult your dealer.

For the PBX
•Keep 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 PBX.
•If you are having problems making calls to outside destinations, follow this procedure to test the outside
lines:
1. Disconnect the PBX from all outside lines.
2. Connect known working single line telephones (SLTs) to those outside lines.
3. Make a call to an external destination using those SLTs.
If a call cannot be carried out correctly, there may be a problem with the outside line that the SLT is
connected to. Contact your telephone company.
If all SLTs operate properly, there may be a problem with your PBX. Do not reconnect the PBX to the
outside lines until it has been serviced by an authorised Panasonic Factory Service Centre.
Note
For All Telephone Equipment
