For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible 
Panasonic units use radio waves to 
communicate with each other.
LFor maximum coverage and noise-
free communications, place your 
base unit:
– at a convenient, high, and central 
location with no obstructions 
between the handset and base unit 
in an indoor environment.
– away from electronic appliances 
such as TVs, radios, personal 
computers, wireless devices or 
other phones.
– avoid facing radio frequency 
transmitters, such as external 
antennas of mobile phone cell 
stations (avoid putting the base unit 
on a bay window or near a window).
LCoverage and voice quality depends 
on the local environmental conditions.
LIf the reception for a base unit location 
is not satisfactory, move the base unit 
to another location for better 
reception.
Environment

noise generating devices, such as 
fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe product should be kept free from 
excessive smoke, dust, high 
temperature, and vibration.

Setting up the base 
unit
Connecting the AC adaptor 
and telephone line cord
Connect the telephone line cord until it 
clicks into the base unit and telephone 
line jack (A). Connect the AC adaptor 
cord (B) by pressing the plug firmly 
(C).
LUse only the included Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV207.
Note:
LThe AC adaptor must remain 
connected at all times. (It is normal for 
the adaptor to feel warm during use.)
LThe AC adaptor should be connected 
to a vertically oriented or floor-
mounted AC outlet. Do not connect 
the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted 
AC outlet, as the weight of the 
adaptor may cause it to become 
disconnected.
LThe unit will not work during a power 
failure. We recommend connecting a 
corded telephone to the same 
telephone line or to the same 
telephone line jack using a Panasonic 
T-adaptor (page 5).
If you subscribe to a DSL service
Please attach a noise filter (contact your 
DSL provider) to the telephone line 
between the base unit and the 
telephone line jack in the event of the 
following:
– Noise is heard during conversations.
– Caller ID features do not function 
properly.
