Note when setting up
Note for connections
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
horizontally oriented AC outlet that faces
the floor, such as an AC outlet installed on
a ceiling or under a table, as the weight of
the adaptor may cause it to become
disconnected.
Power failure
R T
he unit cannot be used to make or receive

recommend connecting a corded-type
telephone that does not use an AC adaptor
to your telephone line.
Note for battery installation

For replacement, we recommend using the
Panasonic rechargeable batteries noted on
page 4, 8.
Note for battery charging
R I

R Clean the charge contacts of the handset,
base unit, and charger with a soft and dry

ctual battery performance depends on

R When eco mode is set to “Eco Plus”, the
base unit stops communicating with the

result, the handset uses more power than
usual to search for the base unit and
therefore battery usage time is shortened
(page 16).

Automated call block
A
utomated call block means the unit screens
incoming calls before ringing. If the call is
allowed, the unit will ring. If the call is identified
as an automated/telemarketing call, the unit
will not ring.
The unit will play a greeting message to the
caller and prompt them to enter an access
code.
This enables the unit to identify whether the
call is automated. You can set the unit to block
or unblock mode. The default setting is
“Unblock”.
Note:
R The unit connects the call without
prompting to enter access code in the
following situations:
– the caller’s phone number matches an
entry in the phonebook (page 25).
– the caller’s name matches an entry in
the allow name list (page 23).
– the caller’s phone number is memorised
in the allowed number database
(page 22).
R If the number is stored in the call block list
(page 20), the unit disconnects the call
without playing the greeting message for
automated call block.
R The automated call block feature is not
available during power failure (page 12).
R When the answering system answers a call
from a caller who is not registered in the
phonebook, allow name list or allowed
number database, the following operations
are delayed:
– answering a call
– remote turn on
– toll saver
R When the unit receives a call from a caller
who is not registered in the phonebook,
allow name list or allowed number
database in the following situations, the unit
shifts to standby mode:
– when searching the phonebook, caller
list, redial list, call block list, or allow
name list
– when programming (depending on
settings)
– when using the answering system
– when paging all handsets or the base
u
nit
R Blocked calls are logged in the caller list.
We recommend that you check the caller
list periodically. If necessary, register the
entry to the phonebook or allow name list to
connect the call next time.
Allowed number database
O
nce the caller enters the access code, the
caller’s phone number is memorised in the
allowed number database as an unblocked
number. Callers from this database are
allowed to connect without the access code
from their next call.
100 entries can be stored to the database (22
digits max. each).
Note:
R When the database memory is full, the
latest call received will replace the oldest
number stored in the list.
R The numbers stored in the database will be
erased when you change the access code
(page 22).
R The numbers stored in the database cannot
be displayed.

sound.
Important:
R Before using this feature, we recommend
that you test this feature and adjust the
baby monitor sensitivity as needed,
especially if you plan to monitor from
outside.
R This feature should not be used as a
substitute for a medical or caregiver’s

handsets must select the same base unit in
order to use the baby monitor feature
(page 39).
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
you cannot set the baby monitor.
R During the monitoring mode, battery
consumption is faster than usual. We
recommend leaving the monitored handset
on the base unit or charger.
R The monitored handset never rings while it
is being monitored.
If the base unit is placed near the
monitored handset, we recommend turning
off the base unit ringer volume (page 31).

Voicemail service
I
n addition to your unit’s answering system you may also have voicemail service from
your phone service provider. Voicemail is an answering service that may be offered by your
phone service provider. This service can also record calls when you are unavailable to answer
the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded on the phone company system and
not on the unit’s answering system.
R To use the voicemail service rather than the units answering system, turn off the answering
system (page 43).
If you have unit’s answering system set to on and also the voicemail enabled, the system with
least amount of rings will record the message first.
Example:
If the unit’s answering system is set to 4 rings (page 48) and the voicemail answering system
provided by your phone company is set to 6 rings (call your service provider), the unit’s
answering system will record the incoming call first.
When you have new messages,
is displayed on the handset if message indication service is
a
vailable. Please contact your phone service provider for details of this service.
Important:
R If
still remains on the display even after you have listened to new messages, turn it off by
pressing and holding MMENUN (right soft key) for 2 seconds.
