This cordless telephone has been designed to operate on radio frequencies which have been assigned to the exclusive use of cordless telephones. As the use of cordless telephones becomes more widespread users may experience a reduction in the quality of service obtainable from this apparatus.

You may receive some interference on domestic radio receivers because the cordless telephone transmission is around 1.7 MHz.

There is a possibility of occurrence of overhearing between cordless telephones operating on the same radio channel. And such interference may increase with greater usage of cordless telephones.

This apparatus has been approved for the use of the following facilities:

1) Storage of telephone numbers for retrieval by a predetermined code
2) Automatic dialling
3) Automatic storage of last number dialled
4) Repeat attempt: Single
5) Simple telephone facility
6) PBX earth register recall PBX timed break register recall
7) MF signalling
8) LD signalling
9) Mercury dialling compatibility
10) Pause
11) 1way paging

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the apparatus if as a result, it then ceases to conform to the standards against which approval was granted.

999 or 112 can be dialled on the apparatus for the purposes of making outgoing calls to the BT Emergency (999 or 112) Service.

WARNING:

The apparatus may be unable to make emergency 999 or 112 telephone calls, under certain conditions, e.g.

● Radio interference caused by another cordless telephone operating on the same radio frequency.
●The portable handset battery needs recharging, or has failed.
- The base unit back-up batteries are exhausted. With the batteries in good condition the base unit will be able to operate without mains power for at least seven hours, including one hour in the TALK mode.
●The portable handset cannot be used while charging.

Any cases of difficulty should be referred in the first instance to the supplier of the apparatus.

NOTE:

If you experience any problems with the normal use of your apparatus, you should unplug it from the telephone outlet and connect a known working telephone in its place. If the known working telephone still gives problems, then call British Telecom Engineers. If it operates properly, then the problem is likely to be a fault in your apparatus. In this case, contact your supplier for advice. British Telecom will charge you if they attend a service call that is not due to apparatus supplied by them.

For best performance

Battery charge

To power the portable handset, charge the battery before initial use.

The portable handset should be charged for 10 hours. Place the portable handset on the base unit. The base unit must be connected to the mains for the portable handset to charge.

—The IN USE/CHARGE indicator light is on.

—The battery cannot be overcharged.

Notes:

—Clean the charge contacts with a soft cloth once a month, or the battery may not charge properly.

—Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the portable handset on the base unit until the BATT LOW indicator flashes.

Recharge the battery when the BATT LOW indicator flashes or beep tone sounds every 15 seconds during a conversation.

Standard battery life

If your Panasonic battery is fully charged:

In TALK mode	Up to about 7 hours
In Stand-by mode	Up to 7 days

Battery life may vary depending on actual use and ambient temperature.

Operating range

Range of operation depends on the construction of your home, weather or actual operation, because calls are transmitted between the base unit and the portable handset by radio waves.

Normally you may get longer range outdoors than indoors. If there are some obstacles such as walls, noise may prevent your telephone calls. In particular, high metal shelves or cement-iron walls will shorten the operating range.

For maximum range

It is best to place the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location of the house, with no obstructions. Be sure to fully extend the aerials of the portable handset and the base unit for best reception.

Noise

Occasional noise or interference may occur due to other random radio waves.

Simple line drawing of a computer with a keyboard and lightning bolts, no text or symbols present.

Electrical appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave oven, fax, TV, radio, or personal computer might interfere with the telephone conversation or shorten the operating range.

If noise affects your telephone calls, keep the base unit, telephone line cord or AC adaptor cord away from electrical appliances.

To reduce noise during a conversation (Selecting a clear channel)

A channel is a set of receiving and transmitting frequencies. You may select the clearer of the 2 available channels.

During a conversation, press the CH button.

—Each time you press the button, the other channel is selected.

Note:

—If the portable handset user is too far from the base unit, the CH button may not function fully. Move toward the base unit.
