Link to cell feature

To use this feature, you must first pair and connect your cellular phones to the base unit (page 17).

Your cellular phones must have Bluetooth wireless technology that is compatible with this product.

This feature allows you to:

• make or answer cellular calls using your home phone (handset or base unit) with better reception.
  – maximize the benefits of cellular services (such as free night and weekend calls, or cellular to cellular call plans) by utilizing unused peak minutes with your home phone.
  – conserve the battery power of your cellular phone while the unit is on a cellular call. (We recommend charging your cellular phone during the cellular call as your cellular phone battery is being consumed.)

Important:

• You may pair a maximum of 2 cellular phones and 1 headset. However, the base unit allows only one Bluetooth to be active at a time.
• Locate your cellular phone near the base unit. If the cellular phone is too close to the base unit during a cellular call, you may hear noise. For best performance, we recommend placing the cellular phone between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet) away from the base unit.

Pairing a cellular phone

Important:

• For more details and the list of compatible cellular phones, please visit our Web site: http://www.panasonic.com/link2cell
• Before pairing a Bluetooth enabled cellular phone to the base unit, make sure that no other Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth headset is connected to your cellular phone.

– the unit receives a call from a phone number stored in the call block list as unwanted ("Storing unwanted callers", page 45).

- the unit receives a call without phone number ("Blocking incoming calls without phone number", page 46).

When a call is received, the unit rings for a short time ^*1 while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit emits no sound to the caller, and disconnects the call.

*1 This is called first ring. If you do not want the first ring to sound, turn this setting to "Off" (page 46).

Important:

- When the unit receives a call from a number that is stored in the call block list or a call without a recognized phone number, the call is logged in the caller list (page 49) with ✗ after the call is disconnected.

- You can program this setting using either the base unit or one of the handsets.

Storing unwanted callers

You can store up to 250 phone numbers in the call block list.

Important:

- We recommend storing 10 digits (including an area code). If only 7 digits are stored, all numbers that have the same last 7 digits will be blocked.

• A handset is replaced on the base unit or charger.
• Pressing [OFF] on a handset.
• Pressing [EXIT] on the base unit.

Phonebook name display

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is displayed and logged in the caller list.

Talking Caller ID

Handset / Base unit

This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display.

To use this feature, you must:

– subscribe to a Caller ID service of your service provider/telephone company.

- turn this feature on (page 40, 42).

When caller information is received, the handsets and base unit announce the caller's name or phone number received from your service provider/telephone company following every ring.

The unit announces in English only.

• Name pronunciation may vary. This feature may not pronounce all names correctly.
• Caller ID service has a limit of how many characters can be displayed. If the caller's name is too long, the unit may not be able to display or announce the entire name.
• The announcement is heard at the same level as the ringer volume (page 22, 29, 39, 42).
• If you turn on the answering system and set the number of rings "2 rings" (page 61), the unit does not announce the caller information from the landline. If "Toll saver" is selected and there is a new message, the unit does not announce the caller information from the landline.
• When you receive a call while on the phone, the 2nd caller's name is not announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.

Phonebook name announcement

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is announced.

Ringer ID for handset

You can select the desired ringer tone to a group that each phonebook entry is assigned (page 32). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a group, the ringer tone you selected for that group rings instead of the called line's ringer tone (page 18, 38, 39) after caller information is displayed. If you select "Current ringer" (default), the unit uses the called line's ringer tone you selected on page 39 when calls from this group are received.

4 Using a cellular line:

To make a cellular call, continue from step 3, "Viewing the caller list and calling back", page 49.

Once you call back an edited number, the unit which was used to call back remembers the area code and format of the edited number. The next time someone calls from the same area code, caller information is customized by the unit as follows:

• When the call is being received, the Caller ID number is displayed in the same format as the edited number.
• After the call has ended, the caller's phone number is displayed in the same format as the edited number, when reviewed from the caller list.

For example, you can use this feature to set the unit to ignore the area code of callers in your area, so that you can call these local numbers using caller information without dialing the area code.

To activate this feature, you must edit an entry in the caller list, then call that number. After that, phone numbers from that caller's area code are edited automatically.

This feature can be set for each unit (page 40, 43). The default setting is "On".

Note:

- Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes are automatically edited.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact a Factory Service Center or other Authorized Servicer. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate interference.
