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

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 PQLV207.
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 
corded telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack using 
a Panasonic T-adaptor (page 10).
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 36) do not 
function properly.

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, even 
when the handset is not in use. Hence 
the longer you leave the handset off the 
base unit, 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 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 and let charge for 7 hours.
