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.

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.

FCC and Other Information 
50 
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, 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.✿✤✦✩✫✩✿✮❃
