Panasonic units use radio waves to 
communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free 
operation, we recommend the following:
LPlacing the product away from electrical 
appliances.
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and 
CENTRAL location with no obstructions 
such as walls.
L If you use the handset near a microwave 
oven which is being used, noise may be 
heard. Move away from the microwave 
oven and closer to the base unit.

cordless phone’s base unit, noise may 
be heard. Move away from the other 
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to 
your base unit.
Environment
LKeep the product away from electrical 
noise generating devices, such as 
fluorescent lamps and motors.
L The product should be kept free from 
excessive smoke, dust, high 
temperature, and vibration.
L The product should not be exposed to 
direct sunlight.
L Do not place heavy objects on top of the 
product.
L When you leave the product unused for 
a long period of time, unplug the product 
from the power outlet. L

heat sources such as heaters, kitchen 
stoves, etc. It should not be placed in 
rooms where the temperature is less 
than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C

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 (A) and telephone 
line jack ( B). Connect the AC adaptor cord 
by pressing the plug firmly ( C).
L Use only the included Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV203. Note:
L
The AC adaptor must remain connected 
at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor 
to feel warm during use.)
L The 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.
L The unit will not work during a power 
failure. We recommend connecting a 
corded telephone to the same telephone 
line or to the same telephone jack using 
a Panasonic T-adaptor (page 3).

DSL provider) to the telephone line 
between the base unit and the telephone

Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
–“RECHARGE ” is displayed, “ ” is 
displayed, or
– the handset beeps intermittently while it  is in use.
Panasonic battery performance
Note:
LBattery operating time may be 
shortened over time depending on 
usage conditions and surrounding 
temperature.
L Battery power is consumed whenever 
the handset is off the base unit, even 
when the handset is not in use. Hence 
the longer you leave the handset off the 
base unit, the less time you may actually 
talk using the handset.
L If the battery is fully charged, you do not 
have to place the handset on the base 
unit until “ RECHARGE ” and/or “ ” are 
displayed. This will maximize the battery 
life.
