following places: Near obstacles such as
hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal
objects such as wire fences, etc.
For best performance
L Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.
Base unit location/noise
The base unit and handset use radio
waves to communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, we recommend the following:
Routine care
L Placing the unit away from electrical
appliances such as a TV, personal
computer or another cordless phone.
L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a
soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or
any abrasive powder.
L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
L Raising the antenna vertically.
L If you use the handset near a microwave
oven which is being used, noise may be
heard. Move away from the microwave
oven and closer to the base unit.
L If you use the handset near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may
be heard. Move away from the other
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to
your base unit.
Environment
L Keep the unit away from electrical noise
generating devices, such as fluorescent
lamps and motors.
L The unit should be kept free from
excessive smoke, dust, high
temperature and vibration.
L The unit should not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
L Do not place heavy objects on top of the
unit.
L When you leave the unit unused for a
long period of time, unplug this unit from
power outlet.

After your Panasonic battery is fully
charged, you can expect approximately
the following performance:
If battery performance diminishes, make
sure you have cleaned the charge

battery needs to be replaced if any of the
following are displayed after a few phone

but not in use.
L Use only the rechargeable Panasonic
battery noted on page 5.
Note:
1 Press the notch on the cover firmly and
slide it as indicated by the arrow.
L Battery power is consumed whenever
the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in
use. The longer you leave the handset
off the base unit or charger, the shorter
you can actually talk on the handset.
Actual battery performance depends on
a combination of how often the handset
is in use and how often it is not in use.
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do
not have to charge it again until
“Recharge battery” is displayed or
7 flashes. This will maximise the
battery life.
2 Replace the old battery with a new one,
and close the cover (see page 10 for
battery installation).

Answering System Features
This will allow the Voice Mail to receive
any messages.
Ring count
You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers calls.
You can select “2”, “3”, “4” (default), “5”,
“6”, “7”, or “Toll saver”.
“Toll saver”: The unit answers on the
2nd ring when new messages have been
recorded, and on the 4th ring when there
are no new messages. If you call your
phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 45), you will know that
there are no messages when the phone
rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang
up without being charged for the call.
This unit does not have a visual indicator
to indicate if there are new messages in
your Voice Mail service. Your Service
Provider may use a “Stutter” dial tone to
indicate that you have Voice Mail left.
L To use the unit’s answering machine
rather than the Voice Mail service
provided by your Service Provider,
please consult your Service Provider to
have it removed or deactivated
permanently or temporarily.
Alternatively you can leave this service
connected and change the “Ring
count” to a shorter duration on your unit
so your unit’s answering machine can
pick up the call prior to the Voice Mail
provided by your Service Provider.

6 Press {Save}, then press {OFF}.
For Telstra Homeline service
subscribers
To receive Voice Mail and use answering
system properly, please note the following:
L “Voice Mail” is a service provided by
your Service Provider. You will need to
first subscribe or activate this service
through your Service Provider. Consult
your Service Provider on how to operate
this service and how you will be notified
that you have messages on your Voice
Mail.
To use this service you will be required
to leave your answering machine off on
your unit.

Instructions to customer
Installation
Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted
Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are
contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line
socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or
to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket.
You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your
equipment.
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove
the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:
1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)
2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)
3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket
recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one
5 mm shorter.)
4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Useful Information
If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your
Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists
only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a
modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be installed.
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty
or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store
where purchased or an Authorised Service Centre.
Service difficulties
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service, carry out the following checks
before you call for service:
L Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal
telephone.
L If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted
Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its
supplier or agent to arrange for repair.
L If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service
Difficulties and Faults” for attention.
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is
connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be
modified in any way without permission.
WARNING:
This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of
conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone
systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt
conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
