*1 If “System” column is checked, you do not need to program the same item using 
another handset.
*2 This feature allows the unit to automat ically adjust the date and time each time 
caller information including date and time is received.
To turn this feature on, select  “Caller ID auto”. To turn this feature off, select 
“ Manual ”. (Caller ID subscribers only)
To use this feature, set the date and time first (page 14).
*3 When the ringer volume is turned off,  ~ is displayed and the handset does not ring 
for outside calls. However even when the ringer volume is set to off, the handset 
still rings for alarm (page 26), intercom calls, and paging (page 40).
*4 If you subscribe to a distinctive ring se rvice (such as IDENTA-RING), select a tone 
(tone 1 to 5). If you select a melody, you cannot distinguish lines by their ringers.
*5 If you select one of the melody ringer tones, the ringer tone continues to play for  several seconds even if the caller has already hung up. You may either hear a dial 
tone or no one on the line when you answer the call.
*6 The preset melodies in this product are used with permission of © 2009  Copyrights Vision Inc.
*7 Turn this feature off if you prefer not  to hear key tones while you are dialing or 
pressing any keys, including confirmation tones and error tones.
*8 If you subscribe to a Caller ID service and want to view the caller’s information 
after lifting up the handset to answer a call, turn off this feature.
*9 The flash time depends on your telephone exchange or host PBX. Contact your  PBX supplier if necessary. The setting should stay at  “700 ms” unless pressing 
{ FLASH } fails to pick up the waiting call.
*10Generally, the line mode setting should not be changed. This setting  automatically maintains receiver volume at the proper level depending on the 
current telephone line condition. Set the line mode to  “A ” if telephone line 
condition is not good.
*11The handset can display the Internet address where you can download the 
operating instructions or get further  information for this product, using your 
computer.

intercom calls between handsets. You 
can also select whether or not the 
handset name is displayed in standby 
mode. The default setting is “Off”. If

Call block (Caller ID 
subscribers only)
This feature allows the unit to reject calls 
when:
– the unit receives a call from a phone 
number stored in the call block list as 
unwanted (“Storing unwanted callers”, 
page 27).
– the unit receives a call without phone  number (“Block calls without phone 
number”, page 28).
When a call is received, the unit rings for 
a short time while the caller is being 
identified. If the phone number matches 
an entry in the call block list, the unit 
sends out a busy tone to the caller, and 
then disconnects the call. Important:
L
When the unit receives a call from a 
number that is stored in the call block 
list or a call without a recognized 
phone number, the call is logged in the 
caller list (page 30) with  $ after the 
call is disconnected.
Storing unwanted callers
You can store up to 30 phone numbers in 
the call block list by using the caller list or 
by entering the numbers directly.
Important:

(including an area code). If only 7 
digits are stored, all numbers that 
have the same last 7 digits will be 
blocked.
■ From the caller list:
1{< } CID

							Caller ID Service
29For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
Using Caller ID service
Important:
LThis unit is Caller ID compatible. To 
use Caller ID features, you must 
subscribe to a Caller ID service. 
Contact your service provider/
telephone company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, 
the caller’s name and phone number are 
displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers 
is logged in the caller list from the most 
recent call to the oldest.
LIf the unit cannot receive caller 
information, the following is displayed:
– “Out of area ”: The caller dials 
from an area which does not 
provide a Caller ID service.
– “Private caller ”: The caller 
requests not to send caller 
information.
– “Long distance ”: The caller 
makes a long distance call.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX 
system, caller information may not be 
properly received. Contact your PBX 
supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it 
as a missed call. The display shows 
“Missed call ”. This lets you know if 
you should view the caller list to see who 
called while you were away.
Note:
L Even when there are unviewed 
missed calls,  “Missed call ” 
disappears from the standby display if 
the following operation is performed 
by one of the registered handsets: – Being replaced on the base unit or 
charger.
– Pressing  {OFF} .
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and 
it matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is displayed and logged in 
the caller list.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling 
without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:
– subscribe to a Caller ID service of 
your service provider/telephone 
company.
– turn this feature on (page 24).
When caller information is received, the 
handsets and base unit announce the 
caller’s name or phone number received 
from your service provider/telephone 
company following every ring.
The unit announces in English only.
L Name pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
L Caller ID service has a limit of how 
many characters can be displayed. If 
the caller’s name is too long, the 
handset may not be able to display or 
announce the entire name.
L The announcement is heard at the 
same level as the ringer volume (page 
16, 23).
L If you turn on the answering system 
and set the number of rings  “2 
rings” (page 36), the unit does not 
announce the caller information. If 
“Toll saver ” is selected and there 
is a new message, the unit does not 
announce the caller information.
L When you receive a call while on the 
phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not

announced even if you subscribe to 
both Caller ID and Call Waiting with 
Caller ID services.
Phonebook name announcement
When caller information is received and 
it matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is announced.
Group ringer tone for 
phonebook
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringer tones for 
different groups of callers. When adding 
an entry to the phonebook, you can 
assign it to the desired group (page 18). 
When a call is received from a caller 
assigned to a group, the ringer you 
selected for that group rings after caller 
information is displayed. If you select 
“Current ringer” (default), the unit 
uses the ringer tone you selected on 
page 23 when calls from this group are 
received.
