*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 service (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 23), and intercom calls, and paging (page 38).
*8 The flash time depends on your telephone 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”.

Silent mode
Silent mode allows you to select a period 
of time during which the handset will not 
ring for outside calls. This feature is 
useful for time periods when you do not 
want to be disturbed, for example, while 
sleeping. Silent mode can be set for 
each handset.
Important:
LSet the date and time beforehand 
(page 12).
LWe recommend turning the base unit 
ringer off (page 14) and call screening 
off (page 30) in addition to turning the 
silent mode on.
LIf you have set the alarm, the alarm 
sounds even if the silent mode is 
turned on.

same time for two or more handsets, 
the first handset makes the 
announcement, while the other 
handsets only sound the tone.
LIf the other unit is in use at the set 
time, the handsets sound the tone 
instead of the selected 
announcement.
LIf you select “Once”, the setting 
changes to “Off” after the alarm 
sounds.
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 24).
– the unit receives a call without phone 
number (“Block calls without phone 
number”, page 25).
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:
LWhen 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 28) 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:
LYou must store the phone number 
with an area code (10 digits) in the call 
block list.

							Caller ID Service
27For 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.
LIf 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 21, 22).
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.
LName pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
LCaller 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.
LThe announcement is heard at the 
same level as the ringer volume (page 
14, 21).
LIf you turn on the answering system 
and set the number of rings “2” (page 
34), 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.
LWhen 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

phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is announced.
Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringers for 
different callers stored in the phonebook 
(page 16). 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

number of the caller, when reviewed 
from the Caller list, is displayed in the

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.
This feature can be turned on or off 
(page 20).
Note:
LPhone numbers from the 4 most 
recently edited area codes are 
automatically edited.
LIf you move to another area, you can 
turn this feature off to erase previously 
edited area codes. To use this feature 
again, turn it on and reprogram the

Answering system
The answering system can answer and 
record calls for you when you are 
unavailable to answer the phone.
You can also set the unit to play a 
greeting message but not to record 
caller messages by selecting 
“Greeting only” as the recording 
time setting (page 35).
Important:
LOnly 1 person can access the 
answering system (listen to 
messages, record a greeting 
message, etc.) at a time.
LWhen callers leave messages, the 
unit records the day and time of each 
message. Make sure the date and 
time have been set correctly (page 
12).
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including 
your greeting message) is about 18 
minutes. A maximum of 64 messages 
can be recorded.
Note:
LIf message memory becomes full:
–“Messages full” is shown on the 
handset display.
– The ANSWER ON indicator on the 
base unit flashes rapidly when the 
answering system is turned on.
LWhen the message memory becomes 
full:
– If you use the pre-recorded greeting 
message, the unit automatically 
switches to another pre-recorded 
greeting message asking callers to 
call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting 
message, the same message is still announced to callers even though 
their messages are not recorded.
