the power outlet, then wiping with a dry
cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an
insulation defect from moisture, etc.
resulting in a fire.
R Unplug the product from power outlets if it
emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes
an unusual noise. These conditions can
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an
authorised service centre.
R Unplug from power outlets and never touch

R Coverage and voice quality depends on the
local environmental conditions.
R If the reception for a base unit location is
not satisfactory, move the base unit to
another location for better reception.

R Confirm “Charging” is displayed (1).
R When the batteries are fully charged,
“Fully Charged” is displayed.
1
R Clean the charge contacts of the handset,

Note when setting up
Note for connections
R The AC adaptor must remain connected at
all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel
warm during use.)
R The AC adaptor should be connected to a
vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a
ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of
the adaptor may cause it to become
disconnected.
During a power failure
R The unit cannot be used to make or receive
calls during a power failure. We
recommend connecting a corded-type
telephone that does not use an AC adaptor
to your telephone line.
Panasonic Ni-MH battery
performance (supplied batteries)
Operation
Operating time
In continuous use
14 hours max.
Not in use (standby)
250 hours max.
Note:
R Actual battery performance depends on
usage and ambient environment.
R When eco mode is set to “Eco Plus”, the
base unit stops communicating with the
handset while it is in standby mode. As a
result, the handset uses more power than
usual to search for the base unit and
therefore battery usage time is shortened
(page 16).
Note for battery installation
R Use the supplied rechargeable batteries.
For replacement, we recommend using the
Panasonic rechargeable batteries noted on
page 3, 8.
Note for battery charging
R It is normal for the handset to feel warm
during charging.

Baby monitor
This feature allows you to listen in on a room
where another handset is located, allowing
you to easily monitor from different areas of
the house or place. The monitored handset
(placed in a baby’s room, for example) will
automatically call the monitoring handset or
the phone number stored when it detects
sound.
Important:
R You should perform a test run of the baby
monitor procedure to ensure that the baby
monitor feature is set correctly. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the baby
monitor to an outside line.
R This feature should not be used as a
substitute for a medical or caregiver’s
supervision. It is the caregiver’s
responsibility to stay close enough to
handle any eventuality.
Note:
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
you cannot set the baby monitor.
R During the monitoring mode, battery
consumption is faster than usual. We
recommend leaving the monitored handset
on the base unit or charger.
R The monitored handset never rings during
the monitoring mode. But if the monitored
handset is on the base unit, the base unit
ringer sounds. Turn off the base unit ringer
volume to not sound the ringer (page 27).
