*1 If “System setting” column is checked, you do not need to program the same item using another handset.
*2 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.
*3 The handset can display the Internet address where you can download the  operating instructions or get further  information for this product, using your 
computer.
*4 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.
*5 If you subscribe to a distinctive ring se rvice (such as IDENTA-RING), select a tone 
(tone 1 to 3). If you select a melody, you cannot distinguish lines by their ringers.
*6 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.
*7 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 rings at the low 
level for alarm (page 25), intercom calls, and paging (page 39).
*8 The flash time depends on your tel ephone exchange or host PBX. Contact your 
PBX supplier if necessary. The setting should stay at  “700ms” unless pressing 
{ FLASH } fails to pick up the waiting call.
*9 Generally, the line mode setting should not be adjusted. If  S is not displayed 
when another phone connected to the same line is in use, you need to change the 
line mode to “A ”.
*10This feature allows the unit to automatic ally adjust the date and time setting when 
caller information is received. To use this feature, set the date and time first.

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 26).
– the unit receives a call without phone  number (“Block calls without phone 
number”, page 27).
When a call is received, the unit rings for 
a short time while the caller is being  identified. If the unit recognizes the call 
as unwanted, “Caller blocked
” is 
displayed and 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 29) 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.

							Caller ID Service
28For 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.
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 23).
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 
15, 23).
L If you turn on the answering system 
and set the number of rings  “2 ” (page 
35), 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.

							Caller ID Service
29For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringers for 
different callers stored in the phonebook 
(page 18). You can assign a different 
ringer to each phonebook entry. When a 
call is received from a caller stored in the 
phonebook, the assigned ringer rings 
after the caller information is displayed.
Caller list
Important:
LOnly 1 person can access the caller 
list at a time.
L Make sure the unit’s date and time 
setting is correct (page 13).
Viewing the caller list and 
calling back
1
{MENU } i  {#}{2 }{1}{3}
2Press  {V} to search from the most 
recent call, or  {^} to search from the 
oldest call.
3To call back, press  {C}.
To exit, press  {OFF} .
Note:
L If the entry has already been viewed 
or answered, “ Q” is displayed, even if 
it was viewed or answered using 
another handset.
Editing a caller’s phone 
number before calling back
You can edit a phone number in the 
caller list by removing its area code 
and/or the long distance code “1”.
1{ MENU } i  {#}{2 }{1}{3}
2{V} /{^} : Select the desired entry.
3Press  {EDIT } repeatedly until the 
phone number is shown in the 
desired format.
4{C}
Caller ID number auto edit 
feature
Once you call back an edited number, 
the unit remembers the Area Code and 
Format of the Edited Number. Next time 
when someone calls from the same Area 
Code, caller information is customized 
by the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the  Caller ID number is displayed in the 
same Format as the Edited Number.
– After the call is ended, the phone  number of the caller, when reviewed 
from the Caller list, is displayed in the 
same Format as the Edited Number.
For example, you can use this feature to 
set the unit to ignore the area code of 
callers in your area, so that you can call 
these local numbers using caller 
information without dialing the area 
code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an 
entry in the caller list, then call that 
number. After that, phone numbers from 
that caller’s area code are edited 
automatically. 1
Local phone number
Example:
2 Area code – Local phone number
Example:
3 1 – Area code – Local phone 
number
Example:
321-5555
