F.C.C. REQUIREMENTS AND RELEVANT 
INFORMATION
1.Notification to the Telephone Company
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On 
the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the 
following format:
 US:AAAEQ##TXXXX
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
Installation must be performed by a qualified professional installer. If required, provide the telephone 
company with the following technical information:
 Telephone numbers to which the system will be connected
 Make: Panasonic
 Model: KX-TAW848
 Certification No.: found on the side of the unit
 Ringer Equivalence No.: 0.3A
 Facility Interface Code: 02LS2
 Service Order Code: 9.0F
 Required Network Interface Jack: RJ11
2.Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. 
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming 
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number 
of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone 
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product 
identifier that has the following format:
 US:AAAEQ##TXXXX
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier 
products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
3.Incidence of Harm to the Telephone Lines
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in 
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isnt practical, 
the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your 
right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
4.Changes in Telephone Company Communications Facilities, Equipment, Operations and 
Procedures
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that 
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide

Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may 
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference 
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or 
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 
connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could 
void the users authority to operate this device.
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
1.Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up.
2.Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or late evenings.

For Cell Station
CAUTION
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could 
void users authority to operate this device.
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may 
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference 
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or 
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 
connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Some wireless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and 
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the wireless telephone should not be 
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the wireless telephone 
further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical 
appliances.
CAUTION
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in uncontrolled environment:
 This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and a 
minimum 20 cm (8 in) spacing must be provided between antenna and all persons body (excluding 
extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes of operation.
 This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or 
transmitter.
Medical—consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, to 
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates 
in the frequency range of 2401 MHz to 2480 MHz, and the power output level can range from 0.004 W 
to 0.4 W.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you 
not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to 
external RF (radio frequency) energy.

This section provides general information on the PBX, 
including the system capacity and specifications. 
						

							1.1 System Highlights
18 Installation Manual
1.1 System Highlights
1.1.1 System Highlights
Voice Mail Features
A Voice Processing System (VPS) can be connected to the PBX to provide Voice Mail (VM) and Automated 
Attendant (AA) services. A Panasonic VPS which supports DPT (Digital) Integration can be connected to 
the PBX effortlessly and with minimal setup required. Conventional DTMF (analog) voice mail systems, 
including those from other manufacturers, are also supported.
Paralleled Telephone Features
By connecting telephones in parallel, you can increase the number of telephones connected to the PBX 
without adding additional extension cards.
An SLT can be connected to an APT which is connected to a Hybrid Port of the PBX. The SLT shares the 
same extension number with the APT.
Portable Station (PS) Features
A Panasonic PS can be used in place of an APT to provide wireless access to PBX features and call 
handling. When in Wireless XDP Parallel Mode, a PS can share an extension number with a wired 
telephone, allowing extension users to use their PSs when they are away from their desks to answer or make 
calls as if they were using their wired telephones.
Simplified Voice Message (SVM) Features
By just installing an optional voice message card in the PBX, simple answering machine services can be 
provided.
