Frequently Asked Questions - KX-TCD290E PANASONIC

How do I charge the battery for the first time?
Charge the battery for about 8 hours before initial use. Place the handset on the base unit. The battery icon indicates charging status; when fully charged, the icon remains steady.
Why is the handset display flashing and not working?
A flashing handset icon indicates the handset is out of range or not registered to the base unit. Ensure the base unit is powered and you are within range. If still flashing, register the handset (see page 53 of the manual).
Can I use the phone during a power failure?
No, the unit requires AC power to operate. We recommend connecting a standard telephone to the same line using a T-adaptor for emergency use.
How do I set the date and time?
Press [Menu/OK], select 'Handset Setup' > 'Time Settings' > 'Set Date & Time'. Enter day, month, year, then hour and minute. Use [*] to toggle AM/PM or 24-hour format.
What is the maximum number of handsets I can register?
Up to 6 handsets can be registered to one base unit, and each handset can be registered to up to 4 base units.
How do I activate Night Mode?
Night Mode silences the ringer during a set time. On the handset: Menu > Handset Setup > Ringer Setup > Night Mode > Start/End to set time, then On/Off to enable. The base unit has a similar setting.
Why can't I send or receive SMS messages?
Ensure you have subscribed to Caller ID and SMS service. Check SMS is turned on (Menu > SMS > Public > Settings > SMS On/Off). Also verify the message centre numbers are correct (Menu > SMS > Public > Settings > Message Centre1/2).
How do I record a conversation?
During an outside call, press [Menu/OK] and select 'Record Call'. A beep sounds every 15 seconds. To stop, press [Menu/OK]. Recorded conversations are stored as new messages in the answering system.
What should I do if the battery icon flashes even after charging?
Clean the charge contacts on the handset and base unit with a soft dry cloth. If the problem persists, the battery may need replacement. Use only Panasonic rechargeable battery HHR-P105.
Is the handset waterproof?
The handset is splash-resistant but not waterproof. Do not immerse in water or expose to salt water. Wipe with a soft dry cloth if wet. The base unit is not splash-resistant.

Important:

- This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult your service provider for details.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is received, the caller's phone number can be displayed.

  • Phone numbers of the last 50 different callers will be logged in the caller list.
  • While listening to a message recorded by the answering system, you can call back the caller without having to dial the phone number (page 48).
  • When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the unit's phonebook:

  • The stored name will be displayed and logged in the caller list.

  • The handset will use the ringtone assigned to the caller's category.
    – The handset will announce the audible call recording you made.

- If the unit is connected to a PBX system, you may not receive the caller information.

- When the caller dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service, "Out of Area" will be displayed.

- When the caller requested not to send caller information, either no information or "Private Caller" will be displayed.

Missed calls

If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. The number of missed calls is shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out.

Call Waiting Caller ID

This is a service of your service provider and will only operate if you have subscribed to this service. When you hear a call waiting tone during a conversation, the display will show the second caller's information. You can answer the second call by pressing [R]. The first caller will be placed on hold. Consult your service provider for details of this service.

Category features for handset phonebook

Categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for different categories of callers. When adding an entry to the handset phonebook you can assign it to the desired category (page 19). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the category's ringtone you select is used.

Changing category ringtones

Note:

- If the handset ringer is turned off, audible call announcements will not be heard.

Operating additional units

Additional handsets

Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Additional handsets will give you the freedom to, for example, have an intercom call with another handset while a third handset is on an outside call. See page 4 for information on ordering additional handsets.

Important:

- The additional handset model recommended for use with this unit is noted on page 4. If other model handset is used, certain operations (handset settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not be available.

Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves out of range of its base unit when "Auto" is selected on base unit selection (page 54), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a "radio cell".

Note:

  • Calls will be disconnected when the handset moves from one radio cell to another.
  • Intercom calls and call transfers are only possible between handsets in the same radio cell.

Registering a handset to a base unit
