Note when setting up

Note for connections

  • The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)
  • 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 using a T-adaptor. Your Panasonic sales shop can offer you more information about connection possibilities.

Note for battery installation

  • Use the supplied rechargeable batteries. For replacement, we recommend using the Panasonic rechargeable batteries noted on page 4, 7.
  • Wipe the battery ends (⊕, ⊖) with a dry cloth.
  • Avoid touching the battery ends (⊕, ⊖) or the unit contacts.

Note for battery charging

  • It is normal for the handset to feel warm during charging.
  • Clean the charge contacts of the handset, base unit, and charger with a soft and dry cloth once a month. Before cleaning the unit, disconnect from power outlets and any telephone line cords. Clean more often if the unit is exposed to grease, dust, or high humidity.
