number that is stored in the call barred 
list, the call is logged in the caller list 
(page 31) with 7 after the call is 
disconnected.

Registering a unit
Operating additional units
Additional base units
The handset can be registered to up to 4 
base units, allowing you to add 
additional base units and extend the 
area in which your handset can be used. 
If a handset moves out of range of its 
base unit when “Auto” is selected on 
base unit (page 28), it looks for another 
base unit to make or receive calls. A 
base unit and the handset it 
communicates with is called a “radio 
cell”.
Note:
LCalls are disconnected when the 
handset moves from one radio cell to 
another.
Registering a handset to a 
base unit
The supplied handset and base unit are 
pre-registered. If for some reason the 
handset is not registered to the base unit 
(for example, w flashes even when the 
handset is near the base unit), re-
register the handset.

centre.
LWhen the handset has been 
registered successfully, w stops

Selecting a base unit
When “Auto” is selected, the handset 
automatically uses any available base 
unit it is registered to. When a specific 
base unit is selected, the handset makes 
and receives calls using that base unit 
only. If the handset is out of range of that 
base unit, no calls can be made.

Please use only the Panasonic DECT 
repeater noted on page 4. Contact your 
Panasonic dealer for details.

							Caller ID Service
30
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 phone number is 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.
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 and y is displayed. This 
lets you know if you should view the 
caller list to see who called while you 
were away. Even if only one missed call 
in the caller list is viewed (page 31), y 
disappears from the display. When you 
receive another new call, y is displayed 
again.
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.
Category settings for 
phonebook
Category settings can help you identify 
who is calling by using different ringer 
tones and display colours for different 
categories of callers. When adding an 
entry to the phonebook, you can assign 
it to the desired category (page 18). 
When a call is received from a caller 
assigned to a category, the category’s 
display colour and ringer tone you 
selected are used.
Changing category ringer tones
If you select “Default Ringer”, the 
unit uses the ringer tone you set on 
(page 21) when calls from this category 
are received. The default setting is 
“Default Ringer”.
