Connect the AC adaptor cord (A) by 
pressing the plug firmly (B). Connect 
the telephone line cord until it clicks into 
the base unit and telephone line socket 
(C).
Base unit
LUse only the supplied Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV207AL.
LUse only the supplied telephone line 
cord. Using another telephone line 
cord may not allow the unit to work 
properly.
Charger
LUse only the supplied Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV209AL.
Note:
LThe AC adaptor must remain 
connected at all times. (It is normal for 
the adaptor to feel warm during use.)
LThe 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.
LThe unit is not designed to be used 
with rotary/pulse dialling services.
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 socket using a 
telephone double adaptor.
If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL 
service
Please attach a DSL/ADSL filter (contact 
your DSL/ADSL provider) to the 
telephone line between the base unit 
and the telephone line socket in the 
event of the following:
