Connections
Connect the AC adaptor cord (A) by 
pressing the plug firmly (B). Connect 
the telephone line cord until it clicks into 
the base unit and telephone line jack 
(C).
Base unit
LUse only the supplied Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV207.
LUse only the supplied telephone line 
cord. Using another telephone line 
cord may not allow the unit to work 
properly.
Charger
LUse only the supplied Panasonic AC 
adaptor PQLV209.
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.
During a power failure
The unit will not work during a power 
failure. We recommend connecting a 
corded-type telephone (without AC 
adaptor) to the same telephone line or to 
the same telephone line jack using a 
Panasonic T-adaptor (page 6). 
Emergency power can be supplied to the 
unit by connecting a Panasonic battery 
back-up power supply noted on page 6.
