Smartphone Connect is a free app provided by Panasonic that turns your smartphone into an extension of your phone system. You can use Smartphone Connect to: – make and receive landline calls with your smartphone – copy data from your smartphone to your phone system – and more! Plus, you can even use your base unit to extend the range of your existing wireless network (see page 6), perfect for larger homes. How does it work? Your smartphone and your phone system’s base unit communicate with each other using your wireless router, allowing you to use phone system features over Wi-Fi.

This is useful if the wireless signal of your wireless router does not cover all areas of your house. Should I use Wi-Fi repeater mode? Wi-Fi repeater mode is recommended for larger buildings, such as those shown below. For smaller buildings, we recommend you do not use Wi-Fi repeater mode. Wide, single-storey buildings Three-storey buildings Note: R Do not place the base unit and wireless router too close to each other. If they are too close, using Wi-Fi repeater mode can cause the sound to cut out briefly during landline calls. – For a single-storey building, place the base unit and your wireless router in different rooms, at least one room-width away from each other. – For a three-storey building, place the base unit and wireless router on different floors. R Do not use Wi-Fi repeater mode if you already have a Wi-Fi range extender. If you already have a Wi-Fi range extender, using Wi-Fi repeater mode can cause network problems such as not being able to access the Internet, and the sound may cut out briefly during landline calls. 6 PRW130(en)_SG_1128_ver021.pdf 6 2013/11/28 11:56:05 Smartphone Connect Setup Guide Turning Wi-Fi repeater mode on 1.
