lines:

1. Disconnect the PBX from all CO lines.

2. Connect known working SLTs to those CO 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 CO 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

CO lines until it has been serviced by an authorized Panasonic Factory Service Center.

• Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not clean with abrasive powders or with chemical agents such as

benzene or thinner.

Password Security

Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password

1. Please provide all system passwords to the customer.

2. To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and

inform the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become

known to others.

3. The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that

you program the PBX.

4. Change the passwords periodically.

5. It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum

protection against unauthorized access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in

system passwords, refer to "1.1.2 Entering Characters" in the PC Programming Manual.

6. If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into a

PC, and checking the password using the KX-TAW848 Maintenance Console software. If you do

not have a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogram

it. Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For more

information on how to back up the system data, refer to "2.4.1 Tool—SD memory backup" in the

PC Programming Manual.

However, as system passwords can be extracted from backup copies of the system data file, do

not allow unauthorized access to these files.

F.C.C. REQUIREMENTS AND RELEVANT

INFORMATION

1. Notification to the Telephone Company

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On

the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the

following format:

• US:AAAEQ##TXXXX

If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

Installation must be performed by a qualified professional installer. If required, provide the telephone

company with the following technical information:

• Telephone numbers to which the system will be connected

• Make: Panasonic

• Ringer Equivalence No.: 0.3A

• Facility Interface Code: 02LS2

• Service Order Code: 9.0F

• Required Network Interface Jack: RJ11

2. Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.

Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming

call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number

of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone

company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product

identifier that has the following format:

• US:AAAEQ##TXXXX

The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier

products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

3. Incidence of Harm to the Telephone Lines

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in

advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical,

the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your

right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

4. Changes in Telephone Company Communications Facilities, Equipment, Operations and

Procedures

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that

could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide

advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

5. Trouble with this equipment

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please see the attached

warranty, which includes the Service Center Directory. If the equipment is causing harm to the

telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the

problem is resolved.

6. Connection to Party Line

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,

public service commission or corporation commission for information.
