FCC and Other Information 
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements 
adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, 
among other information, a product identifier in the format US:ACJ-----. 
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
Registration No.  ..................................................... (found on the bottom of the unit)
Ringer Equivalence No. (REN)............................................................................0.1B
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and 
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and 
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug 
is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible 
modular jack that is also compliant.
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 format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits 
represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
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 isn’t 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.
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 advance notice in order for you to make necessary 
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, 
please contact a Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If the equipment 
is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that 
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public 
utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for 
information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, 
ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If 
you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your 
telephone company or a qualified installer.
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.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late 
evenings. 
						

							 
FCC and Other Information

For assistance, please call: 1-800-211-PANA(7262) 
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that 
may cause undesired operation.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone. 
CAUTION: 
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the 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 cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to 
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the 
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If 
interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV 
or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away 
from the electrical appliances and/or press the TALK or SP-PHONE button, or CH 
(Channel) key. 
CAUTION: 
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the base unit should be installed 
with its antenna located at 20 cm or more from persons and handset should be 
carried with the specific belt-clip provided for the handset to ensure compliance. 
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply, 
therefore, should be avoided.

This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section 
68.316.  
A TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this 
equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network
or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is also TIA/EIA-IS-968 
compliant.
• 
Environment 
 — do not place the unit in a room where the temperature is less 
than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 40°C (104°F). Allow 10 cm (4) clearance around 
the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, 
shock, or direct sunlight.
• 
Medical 
 — consult 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 unit operates in the frequency range of 
2402MHz to 2480MHz, and the power output level can range 0.01 watts.) 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.
• 
Routine care 
 — wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any 
abrasive powder. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug 
the AC adaptor from the outlet.
• 
If there is any trouble  
— disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect 
a known working phone. If the known working phone operates properly, have your 
unit repaired by one of the authorized Panasonic Factory Service Centers. If the 
known working phone does not operate properly, consult your telephone 
company. When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might be heard in your Hearing Aid. 
Some Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded from external RF (radio 
frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an optional headset accessory or the 
speakerphone option (if applicable) when using this phone. Consult your 
audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids 
which provide adequate shielding to RF energy commonly emitted by digital 
devices.
