• Use only the power source marked on the product.
• Do not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Completely insert the AC adaptor/power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.
• Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, then wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.
• Unplug the product from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact the Panasonic Call Center at 1-800-211-PANA (1-800-211-7262).
• Unplug from power outlets and never touch the inside of the product if its casing has been broken open.
• Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

Installation

• To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.
• Do not place or use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an accident.
• Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

Operating safeguards

• Unplug the product from power outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Do not disassemble the product.
• Do not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers, etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or allow it to become wet at all. This may cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug becomes wet, immediately pull it from the telephone wall jack, and do not use.
• Do not excessively pull the corded handset cord from the base unit. This may cause the base unit to fall, resulting in injury.

Medical

- Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product operates in

the frequency range of 1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 115 mW (max.).

Using Caller ID service

Important:

- This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details.

Caller ID features

Base unit / Handset

When an outside call is being received, the caller's name and phone number are displayed. Caller information for the last 50 callers is logged in the caller list from the most recent call to the oldest.

- If the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:

• "Out of area": The caller dials from an area which does not provide a Caller ID service.
• “Private caller”: The caller requests not to send caller information.
• “Long distance”: The caller makes a long distance call.

- If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be properly received. Contact your PBX supplier.

Missed calls

Base unit / Handset

If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a missed call. The display shows "Missed call".

Note:

• Even when there are unviewed missed calls, "Missed call" disappears from the standby display if the following operation is performed by one of the units:
  – A handset is replaced on the 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

Base unit / Handset

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 22).

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 14, 21, 22).
• If you turn on the answering system and set the number of rings "2 rings" (page 34), the unit does not announce the caller information. If "Toll saver" is selected and there is a new message, the unit does not announce the caller information.
• 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

This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer tones for different groups of callers. When adding an entry to the phonebook, you can assign it to the desired group (page 17). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a group, the ringer you selected for that group rings after caller information is displayed. If you select "Current ringer" (default), the unit uses the ringer tone you selected on page 22 when calls from this group are received.

Caller ID number auto edit feature

Base unit / Handset

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 23).

The default setting is "On"
