Frequently Asked Questions - KX-TG473SK PANASONIC

How do I pair my Bluetooth cellular phone with the base unit?
To pair your cellular phone, press [MENU] on the handset, then dial #6241 for CELL 1 or #6242 for CELL 2. The corresponding CELL indicator on the base unit will start flashing. Within 5 minutes, set your cellular phone to pairing mode (refer to its manual). When prompted, enter the Bluetooth PIN (default 0000). A long beep confirms pairing, and the CELL indicator stays lit.
How can I set the date and time on my Panasonic KX-TG473SK?
Press [MENU], then #101. Enter the current month, date, and year as 2 digits each (e.g., 071514 for July 15, 2014). Press [OK]. Then enter the hour and minute (12-hour format), select AM or PM, and press [SAVE]. The date and time are set.
What should I do if the handset shows 'Base no power Press OFF' during a power failure?
This indicates the base unit has no power. Press [OFF] on the handset, then place the handset on the base unit to start power back-up mode. The handset will supply temporary power to the base unit for landline calls. Ensure the handset battery is sufficiently charged.
How do I block unwanted calls?
To block calls, press [MENU], then #217. You can store a single number or a range of numbers. Select Block a single number or Block range of numbers, then add the number. To block calls with no phone number, press #240 and set to On. The unit will reject calls matching the stored numbers.

Press [MENU], then #302. Select Yes and press [SELECT]. After the beep, record your greeting. Press [STOP] to finish, then [OFF]. The greeting will be saved and used for incoming calls.
Why is the answering system not recording messages?

How can I transfer a call between the handset and my cellular phone?
During a cellular call on the handset, press [MENU], select Transfer to cell. The call transfers to your cellular phone. To transfer from cellular phone to handset, press [CELL] on the handset and select the line. The call is then transferred to the handset.
What is the Smart function key and how do I use it?

How do I adjust the ringer volume on the handset and base unit?
On the handset, press [▲] or [▼] while the phone is ringing to adjust volume. On the base unit, press [+] or [-] during ringing. To turn off the ringer completely, press and hold [-] on the base unit until it beeps. Handset ringer can also be set via menu #160.

Caller ID number auto edit feature

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 37). The default setting is "On".

Useful Information

Voice mail service for landline

Voice mail is an automatic answering service offered by your service provider/telephone company. After you subscribe to this service, your service provider/telephone company's voice mail system answers calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded by your service provider/telephone company, not your telephone. Please contact your service provider/telephone company for details of this service.

Important:

- To use the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company rather than the unit's answering system, turn off the answering system (page 51). For details, see page 56.

Storing the voice mail (VM) access number

In order to listen to your voice mail messages, you must dial your service provider/telephone company's voice mail access number. Once you have stored your voice mail access number, you can dial it automatically (page 58).

1 【MENU】(right soft key) #331

2 Enter your access number (24 digits max.). → [SAVE] → [OFF]

Note:

- When storing your voice mail access number and your mailbox password, press [▲] (Pause) to add pauses (page 21) between the access number and the password as necessary. Contact your service provider/telephone company for the required pause time.

Voice mail (VM) tone detection

Your service provider/telephone company sends special signals (sometimes called "voice mail tones" or "stutter tones") to the unit to let you know you have new voice mail messages. If you hear a series of dial tones followed by a continuous dial tone after you press [ ], you have new voice mail messages. Soon after you hang up a call or after the phone stops ringing, your unit checks the phone line to see if new voice mail messages have been recorded.

Turn this feature off when:

  • You do not subscribe to voice mail service.
  • Your service provider/telephone company does not send voice mail tones.
  • Your phone is connected to a PBX. If you are not sure which setting is required, contact your service provider/telephone company.
