Introduction

For best performance

Base unit location/noise

The base unit and handset use radio waves to communicate with each other. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following:

• Placing the product away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, or another cordless phone.
• Placing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.
  ●Raising the antenna vertically.
• If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
• If you use the handset near another cordless phone's base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone's base unit and closer to your base unit.

Environment

• Keep the product away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
  ● The product should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature, and vibration.
  ●The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the product.
• When you leave the product unused for a long period of time, unplug the product from the power outlet.
• The product should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp basements should also be avoided.

● The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the product is used in the following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.
- Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

Routine care

● Wipe the outer surface of the product with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.

Charger unit

Note:

• Base unit: Use only the included Panasonic AC adaptor PQLV1.
• Charger unit: Use only the included Panasonic AC adaptor KX-TCA1.
• The AC adaptors must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptors to feel warm during use.)
• The AC adaptors should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptors to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.
• If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot access Caller ID services.
• The unit will not work during a power failure. We recommend connecting a standard telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack using the Panasonic KX-J66 T-adaptor. Emergency power can be supplied to the unit by connecting a Panasonic battery back-up power supply noted on page 4.

Battery charge

Place the handset on the base unit or charger for 6 hours before initial use.

• Make sure to place the handset with the keypad facing up to charge the handset battery. If the keypad is not facing up, the handset battery can not be charged.
• The unit will beep once, the CHARGE indicator will light, and "Charging" will be displayed.

- "Charge completed" is displayed when the battery has been fully charged. The CHARGE indicator will remain lit.

CHARGE Indicator

- If you attach the shoulder rest attachment to the handset (page 59), charge the handset using the charger.

Note:

- To ensure the battery charges properly, clean the charge contacts of the handset, base unit and the charger with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust, or high humidity.

Preparation

Battery strength

You can confirm the battery strength on the handset display.

Battery icon Battery strength
☐☐:Fully charged
☐☐:Medium
☐☐:Low	When flashing: needs to be recharged.
☐☐:Discharged

Recharging the battery

Recharge the battery when:

• "Recharge battery" is displayed or flashes on the handset display.
  – the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.

Note:

• Recharge the handset battery for more than 15 minutes, or the display will continue showing the indication.
• If the battery has been discharged, the handset will display "Charge for 6h" and □ when you place the handset on the base unit or charger.

Battery performance

After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation Operating time
While in use (talking)	Up to 5 hours
While not in use (standby)*1	Up to 11 days
While in use when the Hearing Aid mode is Telecoil (page 44)	Up to 2 hours

*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.

Note:

●Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
- Once the battery is fully charged, you do not have to charge it again until "Recharge battery" is displayed or [■] flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

Preparation

Battery replacement

If battery performance diminishes, make sure you have cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery. The battery needs to be replaced if any of the following are displayed after a few phone calls even when you have fully charged the battery.

- "Recharge battery"

- (flashing)

- "Charge for 6h"

-

- Use only the rechargeable Panasonic battery noted on page 4.

1 Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow.

Illustration of a hand holding a tool with an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

2 Replace the old battery with a new one, and close the cover (see page 9 for battery installation).

Attention:

A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased.

Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for

information on how to recycle this battery.

About the bone conduction earpiece

The handset features a bone conduction earpiece that uses vibrations, which allows you to hear your telephone conversations.

For proper operation press the bone conduction earpiece against a bone near the ear.

Normally, sound enters the ear canal and vibrates the eardrum. People feel the vibration within the inner ear and comprehend it as it is received by the auditory nerve.

Place the bone conduction earpiece against your head (not your ear). Try different locations to find which location works best. Start with the temple area.

Note:

- Do not place the bone conduction earpiece on a hearing aid. Howling or other interference may be heard.

● The effectiveness of the bone conduction earpiece will vary by the type and degree of hearing loss of the user.

- As sound is generated by vibration, users with normal hearing can use the handset by placing the bone conduction earpiece against the ear, as an ordinary telephone.

- If the bone conduction earpiece gets dusty or greasy, clean it with a soft, dry cloth.

- If noise is heard while using a hearing aid with telecoil or telephone mode on please refer to page 44.
