 If you are having problems making calls to outside destinations, follow this procedure to test the CO 
lines:
1.Disconnect the PBX from all CO lines.
2.Connect known working SLTs to those CO lines.
3.Make a call to an external destination using those SLTs.
If a call cannot be carried out correctly, there may be a problem with the CO line that the SLT is 
connected to. Contact your telephone company.
If all SLTs operate properly, there may be a problem with your PBX. Do not reconnect the PBX to the 
CO lines until it has been serviced by an authorized Panasonic Factory Service Center.
 Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not clean with abrasive powders or with chemical agents such as 
benzene or thinner.

Password Security
Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1.Please provide all system passwords to the customer.
2.To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and 
inform the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become 
known to others.
3.The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that 
you program the PBX.
4.Change the passwords periodically.
5.It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum 
protection against unauthorized access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in 
system passwords, refer to 1.1.2 Entering Characters in the PC Programming Manual.
6.If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into a 
PC, and checking the password using the KX-TAW848 Maintenance Console software. If you do 
not have a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogram 
it. Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For more 
information on how to back up the system data, refer to 2.4.1 Tool—SD memory backup in the 
PC Programming Manual.
However, as system passwords can be extracted from backup copies of the system data file, do 
not allow unauthorized access to these files.
