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.
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

Telephone System
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 5.8GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away 
from the electrical appliances.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
This product complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an 
uncontrolled environment. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements the base 
unit must be installed and operated with its antenna located 20 cm or more between 
antenna and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet). The 
handset unit may be carried and operated with only the specific provided belt-clip.
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply and 
must be avoided. The base and handset units must not be co-located or operated in 
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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.
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. 
						

							FCC and Other Information
86
The software contained in this equipment to allow user access to the network must 
be ungraded to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange 
codes as they are placed into service.
Failure to upgrade the premises systems or peripheral equipment to recognize the 
new codes as they are established will restrict the customer and the customer’s 
employees from gaining access to the network and to these codes.
• 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 
5760MHz to 5840MHz, and the power output level can range 0.25 to 0.5 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.
