Information about power and charging
AC adaptor connection
R The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm
during use.)
R The 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.
Power failure
R 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 3).
Battery use and replacement
R Use only the supplied battery. For replacement, use only the Panasonic rechargeable battery
noted on page 3.
R The battery might swell when its life is close to an end. This is dependent on the usage
conditions and is not a problem.
Battery charging
R It is normal for the handset to feel warm during charging.
R Clean the charge contacts of the handset, base unit, and charger with a soft and dry cloth
once a month. Before cleaning the unit, disconnect from power outlets and any telephone line
cords. Clean more often if the unit is exposed to grease, dust, or high humidity.
Saving battery power
R The amount of time you can use the handset before the battery needs to be charged varies
depending on how you are using it. Each of the following can help you save battery power.
– Turn off the screen when you are not using the handset (page 17).
– Use the control panel (page 20) to turn off the handset’s Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth
features.
– When you are away from home, use the control panel (page 20) to turn off the handset’s
DECT connection to the base unit. Note that if you do not turn the connection back on when
you return home, you will not be able to make or receive calls using the handset.

and your phone system’s handset. For example, you can use your computer to add your contacts
to your Google account, and then configure the handset to synchronize with your Google
account. Your contacts will be automatically downloaded to your handset.
The setup wizard will prompt you to either add your existing Google account information to the
handset or create a new account. You can skip this step if desired. To configure Google account
settings later, see page 44.
Note:
R An Internet connection is required to configure a Google account. If you choose to use or
create a Google account during the setup wizard, you will be prompted to enter Wi-Fi
information so that the handset can connect to the Internet.
Wi-Fi settings
If you have a wireless router and an Internet connection, you can configure the handset to
connect to your Wi-Fi network and access the Internet for synchronizing your handset with your
Google account, using the [Browser] app to view web pages, etc. If the setup wizard prompts
you to enter Wi-Fi information, use the following procedure. To configure these settings later, see
page 44.
Select a Wi-Fi network.
R If the desired Wi-Fi network is not displayed, you may need to enter the network name

the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST
CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to
the dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late
evenings.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this phone.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate this device.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
66
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or
prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the
cordless telephone further away from the TV
or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate
interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
L This product complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
L To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, the base unit must be
installed and operated 20 cm (8 inches)

L This product may not be collocated or
operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
L For body-worn operation, the handset
