Preparation
Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully
charged, you can expect the following
performance:
L Up to 5 hours of talk time.
L Up to 11 days of standby time (off the
base unit or charger but not in use).
L Up to 3 hours of talk time when the
clarity booster feature is turned on (page
19).
Note:
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 maximize the
battery life.
Release the battery cover latch and
slide the cover open.
Replace the old battery with a new one,
and close the cover (see page 10 for
battery installation).
Attention:
A nickel metal hydride battery that is
recyclable powers the product you have
purchased.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
information on how to recycle this battery.
Battery replacement
Important:
L Use only the rechargeable Panasonic
battery noted on page 5. If you install a
non-rechargeable battery and start
charging, the battery may leak
electrolyte.
L If battery performance diminishes, make
sure you have cleaned the charge
contacts and fully charged the battery.
The battery needs to be replaced if any
of the following are displayed after a few
phone calls even when you have fully
charged the battery.
– “Recharge battery”
– 7 (flashing)
– “Charge for 6h”
–8

callers in your area code, so that you can
call these local numbers using caller
information without dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an
item in the caller list (see “Editing a caller’s
phone number before calling back”), then
call that number. After that, calls from that
caller’s area code will be edited
automatically.
This feature can be turned on or off (page
35). The default setting is ON.
Note:
L The handset can remember up to 4 area
codes to be edited. Phone numbers from
the 4 most recently edited area codes
will be automatically edited.
L This feature will not be activated until
edited numbers are called back.
L If you move to another area, you can
turn this feature off to erase previously
edited area codes. To use this feature
again, turn it on and reprogram the area
codes you want to edit once again.

In order to use Caller ID, Call Waiting, or Call Waiting Caller ID (CWID), you must first
contact your telephone company and subscribe to the desired service.
L For more information, contact your telephone company.
If the Call Waiting Caller ID (CWID) feature does not function:
L You may need to contact your telephone company to activate this specific service, even
if you already subscribed to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services
(CWID).
If you subscribe to a flat-rate bundle service that includes Caller ID, Call Waiting,
voice mail, and unlimited local/regional/long distance calls, please read the
following:
L To use the voice mail service provided by the telephone company rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the answering system by pressing {ANSWER ON} on the
base unit.
This unit does not have an indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your
mailbox service.
L To use this unit’s answering system rather than the voice mail service provided by your
telephone company, please contact your telephone company to deactivate your voice
mail service.
If the telephone company cannot do this, set this unit’s “Ring count” setting so that
this unit’s answering system answers calls before the telephone company’s voice mail
service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the ring count required to
activate the voice mail service provided by your telephone company before changing
this setting.
Example: To set the ring count to “2”, see page 39.

devices that may be connected to a line,
as determined by the total RENs, contact
the local telephone company. For
products approved after July 23, 2001,
the REN for this product is part of 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
telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. But if advance notice isn’t
practical, the telephone company will
notify the customer as soon as possible.
Also, you will be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment. If
this happens the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you
to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this
equipment, for repair or warranty
information, please contact a Factory
Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer.
If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone
company may request that you
disconnect the equipment until the
problem is resolved.
Connection to party line service is
subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission
for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone
line, ensure the installation of this
equipment does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.

Useful Information
When you hold the phone to your ear,
noise might be heard in your Hearing Aid.
Some Hearing Aids are not adequately
shielded from external RF (radio
frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use
an optional headset accessory or the
speakerphone option (if applicable) when
using this phone. Consult with your
audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer
about the availability of Hearing Aids
which provide adequate shielding to RF
energy commonly emitted by digital
devices.
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.
The software contained in this equipment
to allow user access to the network must
be upgraded to recognize newly
established network area codes and
exchange codes as they are placed into
service. Failure to upgrade the premises
systems or peripheral equipment to
recognize the new codes as they are
established will restrict the customer and
the customer’s employees from gaining
access to the network and to these
codes.
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.
60
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 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.
For assistance, please call 1-800-211-PANA (7262).
