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.
If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL 
service
Please attach a DSL/ADSL filter (contact 
your DSL/ADSL provider) to the 
telephone line between the base unit 
and the telephone line jack in the event 
of the following:
– noise is heard during conversations.– Caller ID features do not function 
properly.
Battery installation and 
replacement
Important:
LUse the supplied rechargeable 
batteries (Part No. HHR-65AAABU).
LWhen installing the batteries:
– Wipe the battery ends (S, T) with 
a dry cloth.
– Avoid touching the battery ends 
(S, T) or the unit contacts.
– Confirm correct polarities (S, T).
LWhen replacing the batteries:
– USE ONLY rechargeable Ni-MH 
batteries AAA (R03) size.
– Do NOT use 
Alkaline/Manganese/Ni-Cd 
batteries.
– We recommend using the 
Panasonic rechargeable batteries 
noted on page 6, 8.

Link to cell feature
Your cellular phone must be Bluetooth 
wireless technology compatible with this 
product.
After you register a cellular phone to the 
unit:
– you can use the handset to make or 
answer calls using a cellular line.
– you can get greater reception while 
you are on a cellular call using the 
handset.
– you can make or answer a cellular call 
anywhere the additional handsets are 
located.
– you can conserve the battery power of 
your cellular phone. (While the 
handset is on a cellular call, the 
battery of your cellular phone is being 
consumed. We recommend charging 
your cellular phone during the cellular 
call.)
You can also maximize the benefits of 
cellular services (such as free night and 
weekend calls, 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 and connect it to the base unit (page 
17, 18).
Important:
LUp to 2 cellular phones can be 
registered. There can be only one 
active Bluetooth connection at a time.
LIf the cellular phone is too close to the 
base unit during a cellular call, you 
may hear noise. For best 
performance, we recommend placing 
the cellular phone between 0.6 m to 3 
m (2 feet to 10 feet) away from the 
base unit.
Registering a cellular 
phone
Important:
LFor more details and the list of 
compatible cellular phones, please 
visit at:
www.panasonic.com/LinkToCell
LBefore registering a Bluetooth 
enabled cellular phone to the base 
unit:
– we recommend you change the PIN 
(page 18).
– make sure that no Bluetooth device 
such as a Bluetooth headset is 
connected to your cellular phone.
1Base unit:
Press and hold {CELL 1} or {CELL 
2} until the LINK TO CELL indicator

2Your cellular phone:
While the LINK TO CELL indicator is 
flashing red, 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: “0000”).
3Base unit:
Wait until the LINK TO CELL 
indicator lights green to complete 
registration (page 12).
LIt may take more than 10 seconds

Auto connection to the 
cellular phone
After your cellular phone is connected 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 is 
lost. After returning closer to the base 
unit’s range, this feature allows the base 
unit to try to reconnect to the cellular 
phone at regular intervals. You can set 
how often the base unit tries to resume 
the connection. The default setting is 
“1min”.
Important:
LSome cellular phones lose connection 
after usage, please check the 
specification of your cellular phone for 
more details.
