Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible 
Panasonic units use radio waves to 
communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free 
operation, we recommend the following:
LPlacing the product away from electrical 
appliances.
LPlacing the base unit in a HIGH and 
CENTRAL location with no obstructions 
such as walls.
LRaising the antennas vertically.
LIf you use the handset near a microwave 
oven which is being used, noise may be 
heard. Move away from the microwave 
oven and closer to the base unit.
LIf you use the handset near another 
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may 
be heard. Move away from the other 
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to 
your base unit.
Environment
LKeep the product away from electrical 
noise generating devices, such as 
fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe product should be kept free from 
excessive smoke, dust, high 
temperature, and vibration.
LThe product should not be exposed to 
direct sunlight.
LDo not place heavy objects on top of the 
product.
LWhen you leave the product unused for 
a long period of time, unplug the product 
from the power outlet.LThe product should be kept away from 
heat sources such as heaters, kitchen 
stoves, etc. It should not be placed in 
rooms where the temperature is less 
than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C 
(104 °F). Damp basements should also 
be avoided.
LThe maximum calling distance may be 
shortened when the product is used in 
the following places: Near obstacles 
such as hills, tunnels, underground, near 
metal objects such as wire fences, etc.
LOperating near 5.8 GHz electrical 
appliances may cause interference.

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 PQLV1 or PQLV256.
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 
9). Emergency power can be supplied to 
the unit by connecting a Panasonic 
battery back-up power supply noted on 
page 9.
If you subscribe to a DSL service
Please attach a noise filter (contact your 
DSL provider) to the telephone line 
between the base unit and the telephone 
line jack in the event of the following:
– Noise is heard during conversations.
– Caller ID features (page 29) do not 
function properly.

Battery level
Note:
LWhen the battery needs to be charged, 
the handset beeps intermittently while it 
is in use.
Panasonic battery performance
Note:
LBattery operating time may be 
shortened over time depending on 
usage conditions and surrounding 
temperature.
LBattery power is consumed whenever 
the handset is off the base unit or 
charger, even when the handset is not in 
use. Hence the longer you leave the 
handset off the base unit or charger, the 
less time you may actually talk using the 
handset.LAfter the handset is fully charged, 
displaying “Charge completed”, it 
may be left on the base unit (or charger) 
without any ill effect on the battery.
LThe battery level may not be displayed 
correctly after you replace the battery. In 
this case, place the handset on the base 
unit (or charger) and let charge for 7 
hours.
