Configuring a cellular 
phone
If your cellular phone is Bluetooth wireless 
technology compatible to this product, you 
can use the handset or base unit to make 
or answer calls using a cellular line.
This feature is useful for maximizing the 
benefits of cellular services (such as free 
unlimited nights and weekends, or cellular 
to cellular calling plans) by utilizing unused 
peak minutes with your home phone.
To use this feature you must first:
– register your cellular phone to the base 
unit (page 52).
– connect the cellular phone to the base 
unit (page 53).
Important:
LThe following procedures must be 
performed using the base unit.
LUp to 5 cellular phones can be 
registered (when other Bluetooth 
devices are not registered). There can 
be only one active Bluetooth connection 
at a time.
LTo keep the cellular line stable between 
the base unit and cellular phone, we 
recommend you use a cellular phone 
within the range of the base unit.
LWhile you are on a cellular call, the 
battery of your cellular phone is being 
consumed. We recommend charging 
your cellular phone during the call.
Registering a cellular phone 
^
Important:
LFor more details and the list of 
compatible cellular phones, please visit: 
www.panasonic.com/
CompatibleCellPhones
LBefore registering a Bluetooth device to 
the base unit, we recommend you 
change the PIN (page 42).
1Base unit:
Press and hold the desired CELLULAR 
SELECT button ({1} to {5}) until a short 
beep sounds.
L“CellPhone Registering” is 
displayed and the CELLULAR 
SELECT button starts flashing 
yellow-green.
LAfter the registration starts, the rest of 
the procedure must be completed 
within 2 minutes.
2Your cellular phone:
Follow the instructions of your cellular 
phone to enter the registration mode.
LDepending on your cellular phone, it 
may ask you to enter the base unit 
PIN (Default: “7262”).
LWhen registration is completed 
successfully, the unit beeps and the 
button stops flashing but remains lit in 
yellow-green.
Note:
LTo cancel a cellular phone from the base 
unit, see “Deregistering another device” 
on page 43.

Connecting the cellular phone 
^
You need to connect a registered cellular 
phone to the base unit in order to make or 
answer calls using a cellular line with this 
system.
Important:
LAfter connecting your cellular phone to 
the base unit, and if you carry your 
cellular phone far from the base unit 
(example: if you leave the house with 
your cellular phone) the connection will 
be lost. After returning within closer to 
the base unit’s range you need to 
reconnect the cellular phone to the base 
unit. Some cellular phones lose connection after usage, please check 
the specification of your cellular phone 
for more details.
LWhen registering an additional cellular 
phone to the base unit, cellular phones 
already connected to the base unit lose 
connection. You need to reconnect the 
cellular phones to the base unit.
1Press the desired CELLULAR SELECT 
button ({1} to {5}).
2“Connection” i {SET}
L“Connection(OK)” is shown and 
the CELLULAR SELECT button is lit 
in yellow-green if the cellular phone is 
connected to the base unit.
3{STOP}
Note:
LIn step 2, the base unit requires your 
cellular phone to accept the connection. 
Depending on your cellular phone, it 
may ask you if you accept the 
connection requirement from the base 
unit. Refer to the operating instructions 
of your cellular phone for further 
operations.
LAfter connecting your cellular phone to 
the base unit, if the cellular phone is too 
far from the base unit (out of the base 
units range), or there is an interference 
from other electrical units, the cellular 
phone’s connection is disconnected. We 
recommend you place the cellular phone 
closer to the base unit.
