Getting Started

Note when setting up

Note for connections

L The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)

L 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

The unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a corded-type telephone (without AC adaptor) to the same telephone line or to the same telephone line jack using a Panasonic T-adaptor (page 5). Emergency power can be supplied to the unit by connecting a Panasonic battery back-up power supply noted on page 5.

Note for battery installation

L Use the supplied rechargeable batteries. For replacement, we recommend using the Panasonic rechargeable batteries noted on page 5, 7.

LWipe the battery ends (S, T) with a dry cloth.

LAvoid touching the battery ends (S, T) or the unit contacts.

Note for battery charge

L It is normal for the handset to feel warm during charging.

L Clean the charge contacts of the handset, base unit, and charger with a soft and dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is exposed to grease, dust, or high humidity.

Note:

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

L Even after the handset is fully charged, the handset can be left on the base unit or charger without any ill effect on the batteries.

L The battery level may not be displayed correctly after you replace the batteries. In this case, place the handset on the base unit or charger and let it charge for at least 7 hours.
