Operating safeguards
Installation and relocation Make sure that the unit is installed in a well 
ventilated room so as not to increase 
density of ozone in the air. Since ozone is 
heavier than air, it is recommended that air 
at floor level be ventilated.
Unplug this unit from power outlets before 
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol 
cleaners.
Do not cover slots and openings on the unit. 
They are provided for ventilation and 
protection against overheating. Never place 
the unit near radiators, or in a place where 
proper ventilation is not provided.
Never push any objects through slots in this 
unit. This may result in the risk of fire or 
electric shock. Never spill any liquid on the 
unit.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not 
disassemble this unit. Take the unit to an 
authorised service centre when service is 
required. Opening or removing covers may 
expose you to dangerous voltage or other 
risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause 
electric shock when the unit is subsequently 
used.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked 
on this unit.
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 (KX-
MB773/KX-MB783 only).
Unplug this unit from power outlets and refer 
servicing to an authorised service centre 
when the following conditions occur:
 
LIf the power cord is damaged or frayed.
LIf liquid has been spilled into the unit.
LIf the unit has been exposed to rain or 
water.
LIf the unit does not work normally by 
following the operating instructions. 
Adjust only controls covered by the 
operating instructions. Improper 
adjustment may require extensive work 
by an authorised service centre.
LIf the unit has been dropped or 
physically damaged.
LIf the unit exhibits a distinct change in 
performance.
After moving the unit from cold areas to 
warmer areas, let the unit adjust to the 
warmer temperature and do not connect the 
unit for about 30 minutes. If the unit is 
connected too soon after a sudden climate 
change, condensation may form inside the 
unit causing malfunction.
Never install telephone wiring during a 
lightning storm (KX-MB773/KX-MB783 
only).
Never install telephone jacks in wet 
locations unless the jack is specifically 
designed for wet locations (KX-MB773/KX-

For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum unit
LWhen replacing the toner cartridge or drum unit, do 
not allow dust, water, or liquids to come in contact 
with the drum. This may affect print quality.
LFor optimal performance, genuine Panasonic toner 
cartridges and drum units are recommended. We 
cannot be responsible for problems that may be 
caused by a non-Panasonic toner cartridge or drum 
unit:
– Damage to the unit
– Poor print quality
– Improper operation
Toner cartridge
LDo not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection 
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum unit
LRead the instructions on page 13 before you begin 
installation of the drum unit. After you have read 
them, open the drum unit protection bag. The drum 
unit contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to 
light may damage the drum. Once you have opened 
the protection bag:
– Do not expose the drum unit to light for more than 
5 minutes.
– Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.
– Do not place the drum unit near dust or dirt, or in 
a high humidity area.

never be turned OFF immediately after printing. 
Leave the power turned ON for a minimum of 30 
minutes after printing.
Location
LTo avoid malfunction, do not position the unit near 
appliances such as TVs or speakers which generate 
an intense magnetic field.
Static electricity
LTo prevent static electricity damage to the interface 
connectors or other electrical components inside the 
unit, touch a grounded metal surface before touching 
the components.
Environment
LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating 
devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe unit should be kept free from dust, high 
temperature and vibration.
LThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
LDo not place heavy objects on top of the unit. When 
you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, 
unplug this unit from the power outlet.
