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, if you have 
such a telephone jack in your house.
Note for battery installation
L
Use the supplied rechargeable 
batteries. For replacement, we 
recommend using the Panasonic 
rechargeable batteries noted on page 
5,
 8.
L
Wipe the battery ends (S, T) with a 
dry cloth.
L
Avoid 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.
Battery level
Panasonic Ni-MH battery 
performance (supplied batteries)
Note:
L
It is normal for batteries not to reach 
full capacity at the initial charge. 
Maximum battery performance is 
reached after a few complete cycles of 
charge/discharge (use).
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.
