For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this 
section carefully before using the product to ensure 
proper and safe operation of your product.
WARNING
Power connection
LUse only the power source marked on the product.
L Do not overload power outlets and extension cords. 
This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
L Completely insert the AC adaptor/power plug into the 
power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock 
and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.
L Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the AC 
adaptor/power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, 
then wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may 
cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting 
in a fire.
L Unplug the product from power outlets if it emits smoke, 
an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These 
conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that 
smoke has stopped emitting and contact the Panasonic 
Call Center at 1-800-211-PANA (1-800-211-7262).
L Unplug from power outlets and never touch the inside 
of the product if its casing has been broken open.
L Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric 
shock exists.
Installation
LTo prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not 
expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.
L Do not place or use this product near automatically 
controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire 
alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may 
cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an 
accident.
L Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to 
be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy 
objects.
Operating safeguards
LUnplug the product from power outlets before cleaning. 
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
L Do not disassemble the product.
L 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.
L Do not excessively pull the corded handset cord from 
the base unit. This may cause the base unit to fall, 
resulting in injury.
Medical
LConsult the manufacturer of any personal medical 
devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to  determine if they are adequately shielded from external 
RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product operates in 
the frequency range of 1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the 
RF transmission power is 115 mW (max.).)
L Do not use the product 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 
energy.
CAUTION
Installation and relocation
LNever install telephone wiring during an electrical 
storm.
L Never install telephone line jacks in wet locations 
unless the jack is specifically designed for wet 
locations.
L Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals 
unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the 
network interface.
L Use caution when installing or modifying telephone 
lines.
L The AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. 
Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the product 
and is easily accessible.
L The cordless handset is unable to make calls when:
– the handset batteries need recharging or have 
failed.
– there is a power failure.
Battery
L We recommend using the batteries noted on page 4. 
USE ONLY rechargeable Ni-MH batteries AAA (R03) 
size.
L Do not mix old and new batteries.
L Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released 
electrolyte from the batteries is corrosive and may 
cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The 
electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful if swallowed.
L Exercise care when handling the batteries. Do not 
allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or 
keys to touch the batteries, otherwise a short circuit 
may cause the batteries and/or the conductive material 
to overheat and cause burns.
L Charge the batteries provided with or identified for use 
with this product only, in accordance with the 
instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
L Only use a compatible charger to charge the batteries. 
Do not tamper with the charger. Failure to follow these 
instructions may cause the batteries to swell or 
explode.
