Alert Mode
Your phone has two customizable Alert Modes for use in different 
environments: 
Normal mode for typical environments and 
Quiet mode for 
use in meetings, restaurants, movies, and so on, where a loud, audible 
alert would be disturbing. After selecting 
Normal or 
Quiet, you can then 
individually customize the following settings within each mode from the 
Tone Settings menu:
In either mode, you can mute all of your phone’s audible features except 
for low battery tone—the low battery warning sounds, regardless of the 
settings. Also, the low battery warning tone is not adjustable.
Note: When you purchase your phone, Quiet mode has the 
following settings: ring and key volume are muted; vibration alert 
is on; ring and message alerts are set to General ring 1; and 
warning tones are turned off. 
Because you can modify the settings in both Normal mode and 
Quiet mode, you could change the ring and key volume settings 
in Quiet mode to maximum volume; change the ring and 
message alerts to a melody; or turn on warning tones. However, 
 would still appear on your display. You could also mute ring 
and key volumes in Normal mode. Be sure you know which 
Alert mode you are in when you customize the tone settings.
You can quickly restore the default settings in both modes to 
their original values by selecting 
Reset Defaults in the 
Miscellaneous menu. See “Reset Defaults” on page 48

Security Options
The Security Options menu allows you to place restrictions on several of 
your phone’s functions. Options include locking specific features, limiting 
the types of calls that can be placed and received, and setting your phone 
so that it automatically locks whenever powered off. A lock code is 
necessary to activate these features. Panasonic recommends changing 
the preset lock code, which is in effect when you purchase your phone, to a 
code of your own.
If you ever misplace or forget your lock code — and your phone 
is locked — contact your wireless service provider. 
Remember that emergency (911) calls can be placed from your 
phone even when security features are selected and activated.
