Line Mode  
The line mode is preset at the factory to “B”. Generally leave the line mode “B”. If a 
change of the line mode setting is required by our customer call center or service 
person, change the line mode to “A”.  
Voice Enhancer Technology  
Voice Enhancer Technology ( ) helps clarify and improve sound reception 
creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand. 
This is accomplished by enhancing the frequency that is narrowed through the 
telephone line and comes pre-set to OFF at the factory.
Under normal conditions, cordless phones are limited to a narrowed frequency 
bandwidth (300Hz to 3.5KHz). Panasonic’s new Voice Enhancer Technology 
cordless phones are able to simulate a band signal above and below the normal 
bandwidth limitations. As a result, a clearer, crisp sound much closer to the actual 
voice is achieved. 
•“ ” is displayed when the Voice Enhancer Technology is set to ON.  
Helpful hint:  
Depending on the condition and quality of your telephone line, Voice Enhancer may 
emphasize the noise already on the line. If it becomes difficult to hear the caller, 
please set Voice Enhancer mode to OFF.
