CAUTION
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance 
could void user’s 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 person’s 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.

1.1 Before Operating the Telephones
1.1.1 Before Operating the Telephones
 What Kind of Telephone Can Be Used?
You can use a single line telephone (SLT), such as a rotary pulse telephone or a Panasonic 
proprietary telephone (PT) such as the KX-T7636. You can also use a Panasonic Portable Station 
(PS), e.g., KX-TD7690. Use the feature depending on the telephone you are using. If you are using 
a Panasonic proprietary telephone with a special feature button such as   or a display (Display 
PT) or both, you can follow the operation with the button or display messages for easy programming.
If you use a large display telephone (e.g., KX-T7636), you can follow the displayed messages to use 
the features. If your telephone does not have feature buttons and/or a display, you may operate the 
PBX by entering a feature number instead. Follow the operation for your type of telephone.
If you use a Console, you can use the buttons on the Console as the buttons on the connected 
proprietary telephone. 
Portable Station (PS) Registration
You must register your PS in the PBX and determine its extension number before initial use. For PS 
registration, consult your dealer.
 Feature Numbers
To use certain features, you need to enter specified feature numbers (and an additional parameter, if 
required).
There are two types of feature numbers as follows:
Flexible feature number
Fixed feature number
Fixed feature numbers cannot be changed. However, you can change the flexible numbers to other 
numbers for easier use. If you want to change the numbers, consult your dealer. In this manual, the 
default numbers (factory installed) are used for operations.
A flexible number is shown as  (half-shaded key). Use the new programmed number if you have 
changed the feature number. Write the new number in the Feature Number Table (Appendix).If you use a Panasonic proprietary 
telephone which does not have 
feature buttons, you may change one 
of the unused flexible buttons to a 
feature button. Refer to 3.1.3 
Customizing the Buttons.
If you use a single line telephone which does not have the   or # keys;
it is not possible to access features that have   or # in their feature numbers.
