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).
LUse only the included Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV19 or PQLV255.Note:
LThe AC adaptor must remain connected 
at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor 
to feel warm during use.)
LThe 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.
LThe unit will not work during a power 
failure. We recommend connecting a 
standard telephone to the same 
telephone line or to the same telephone 
jack using a Panasonic T-adaptor (page 
6). Emergency power can be supplied to 
the unit by connecting a Panasonic 
battery back-up power supply noted on 
page 6.
