TG2431AL_2432AL(e).book Page 8 Tuesday, March 15, 2005 6:37 PM

Introduction

For best performance

Base unit location/noise

The base unit and handset use radio waves to communicate with each other.

For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following:

L

Placing the unit away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.

L

Placing the base unit in a HIGH and

CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

L

Raising the antenna vertically.

L

If 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.

L

If 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.

Environment

L

Keep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

L

The unit should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature and vibration.

L

The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

L

Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

L

When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from power outlet.

L

The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 5 °C or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should also be avoided.

L

The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the unit is used in the

8 following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

L

Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference.

Move away from the electrical appliances.

Routine care

L

Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or any abrasive powder.

11

TG2431AL_2432AL(e).book Page 12 Tuesday, March 15, 2005 6:37 PM

Preparation

Battery performance

After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect approximately the following performance:

Operation

While in use

(talking)

While not in use

(standby)

*1

While using the

Clarity Booster feature (page 20)

Operating time

Up to 5 hours

Up to 11 days

Up to 3 hours

*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.

Note:

L

Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset.

Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.

L

Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until

Recharge battery” is displayed or

7

flashes. This will maximise the battery life.

Battery replacement

If battery performance diminishes, make sure you have cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery. The battery needs to be replaced if any of the following are displayed after a few phone calls even when you have fully charged the battery.

– “Recharge battery

– 7 (flashing)

– “Charge for 6h

– 8

L

Use only the rechargeable Panasonic battery noted on page 5.

1

Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow.

2

Replace the old battery with a new one, and close the cover (see page 10 for battery installation).

For Telstra Homeline service subscribers

To receive Voice Mail and use answering system properly, please note the following:

L

“Voice Mail” is a service provided by your Service Provider. You will need to first subscribe or activate this service through your Service Provider. Consult your Service Provider on how to operate this service and how you will be notified that you have messages on your Voice

Mail.

To use this service you will be required to leave your answering machine off on your unit.

Answering System Features

This will allow the Voice Mail to receive any messages.

This unit does not have a visual indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your Voice Mail service. Your Service

Provider may use a “Stutter” dial tone to indicate that you have Voice Mail left.

L

To use the unit’s answering machine rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your Service Provider, please consult your Service Provider to have it removed or deactivated permanently or temporarily.

Alternatively you can leave this service connected and change the “Ring

count” to a shorter duration on your unit so your unit’s answering machine can pick up the call prior to the Voice Mail provided by your Service Provider.

Note:

L

Provider Voice Mail can capture messages that can be missed while the customer is on the Internet.

Instructions to customer

Installation

Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted

Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.

Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).

You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.

To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket.

You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your equipment.

If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:

1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)

2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)

3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one

5 mm shorter.)

4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Useful Information

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your

Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.

You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be installed.

Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store where purchased or an Authorised Service Centre.

Service difficulties

If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service, carry out the following checks before you call for service:

L

Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal telephone.

L

If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted

Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.

L

If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service

Difficulties and Faults” for attention.

You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.

WARNING:

This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
