Lifelike Visual Communication

You can experience lifelike visual communication*2 with smooth, high-quality video and clear stereo*3 sound.

*2 If you are using the KX-VC300, sending images in Full HD can only be done by purchasing an activation key

card (KX-VCS401) to activate this feature (Page 94).

*3 If using 2 or more Digital Boundary Microphones, stereo output can be enabled through system settings

(Page 83). When using Digital Boundary Microphones and an Analog Boundary Microphone together, stereo

output may be unavailable depending on the connection configuration (Page 24, Page 26).

Home Electronics-style Remote Control Operation and Simple, Easy to

Understand Graphical User Interface

You can make settings and perform operations using familiar remote control operations and a simple, easy to

understand interface.

Stabilized Communication Quality

In periods of network congestion, automatic packet transmission rate quality control prevents packet loss to

maintain a video conference call’s image and sound quality. This allows visual communication with stabilized

communication quality even over an Internet connection.

Introduction

Selectable Video Source

By connecting your computer or video camera to the unit, you can show your computer’s screen or video

camera image to video conference call participants (Page 59, Page 63).

Encrypted Communication

Packets sent for video conference calls can be encrypted to prevent packet leaks, tampering, or

eavesdropping.

KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service

"KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service" is a service that allows you to easily and affordably set up and operate

a communication environment for the HD Visual Communication Unit.*4 *5 Also, complicated router configuration

is unnecessary, which allows even people who are not network administrators set up a communication

environment. Furthermore, you can assign the unit a unique number (Terminal ID), which allows the unit to be

called not by IP address, but with the unique 7-digit number. This means communication can be initiated as if

calling a telephone. Communication can also be encrypted, so that you can communicate over the Internet

safely and securely.

For details about KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service, refer to the following web site:

http://www.panasonic.net/psn/products/hdvc/resource/users_guides.html

*4 This service may be unavailable depending on the country/area of use. For details, contact your dealer.

*5 This service may be unavailable depending on your router's type or your Internet connection environment.

For details, contact your dealer.

Enhanced Features through the Use of Activation Keys

By using an activation key (sold separately), you can upgrade the features of the KX-VC300 (Page 71). After

you upgrade the features, the KX-VC300 can initiate 3-party/4-party video conference calls and send images

in Full HD resolution. Features enabled through activation keys are available even after performing a system

initialization (Page 94). For details about the activation key, contact your dealer.

Connection to non-Panasonic Video Conference Systems

You can connect to a non-Panasonic video conference system and have a 2-party video conference call

(Page 44).*6

*6 For details about the types of non-Panasonic video conference systems you can connect to, contact your

dealer. Communication cannot be encrypted when you connect to a non-Panasonic video conference system.

Instead, connect over an intranet or via a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

MCU Connection

By connecting to an MCU (multipoint control unit), you can make video conference calls with 5 parties or more

(Page 45).*7

*7 For details about the types of MCUs you can connect to, contact your dealer. Communication cannot be

encrypted when you connect to an MCU. Instead, connect over an intranet or via a VPN (Virtual Private

Network).

This symbol is used to alert users to a specific

operating procedure that must be followed in order

to operate the unit safely.

WARNING

General

Follow all warnings and instructions

marked on the unit.

Power

The power source voltage of this unit is

listed on the nameplate. Only plug the

unit into an AC outlet with the proper

voltage. If you use a cord with an

unspecified current rating, the unit or

plug may emit smoke or become hot to

the touch.

Do not connect the unit to the AC outlet,

AC extension cords, etc., in a way that

exceeds the power rating of, or does not

comply with the instructions provided

with, the AC outlet, AC extension cords,

etc.

Connect the AC adaptor firmly to the

power cord, and plug the power cord

firmly into an AC outlet. Otherwise, it can

cause fire or electric shock.

Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or

chafe the power cord, plug, and AC

adaptor. Damage to the power cord or

plug can cause fire or electric shock.

To prevent fires, electric shock, injury, or

damage to the unit, be sure to follow

these guidelines when performing any

wiring or cabling:

a. Before performing any wiring or

cabling, unplug the unit’s power cord

from the outlet. After completing all

For Your Safety

Do not attempt to repair the power cord,

plug, or AC adaptor. If the power cord or

plug is damaged or frayed, contact an

authorized service representative for a

replacement.

Ensure that the plug connection is free

of dust. In a damp environment, a

contaminated connector can draw a

significant amount of current that can

generate heat, and eventually cause fire

if left unattended over an extended

period of time.

Stop operation immediately if the unit

emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal

smell or unusual noise. These conditions

can cause fire or electric shock.

Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug

the power cord, and contact your dealer

for service.

Never touch the plug or AC adaptor with

wet hands. Danger of electric shock

exists.

When disconnecting the unit, grasp the

plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a

cord forcibly can damage it, and cause

fire or electric shock.

During thunderstorms, do not touch the

unit, plug and AC adaptor. It may cause

an electric shock.

Operating Safeguards

Do not alter the AC adaptor or modify

any parts. Alteration or modification can

cause fire or electric shock.

If metal fragments or water gets into the

unit, turn the unit off and unplug the unit

immediately. Contact your dealer for

service. Operating the contaminated unit

can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not use a unit in the vicinity of a gas

leak to report the leak.

Do not place the remote control in

microwave ovens or on induction

cookware.

Clean the AC plug periodically with a

soft, dry cloth to remove dust and other

debris.

Do not use the supplied power cord with

any other device. It may cause fire or

electric shock.

Unplug the unit from the AC outlet and

have it serviced by qualified service

personnel in the following cases:

a. If the unit does not operate

according to the operating

instructions. Adjust only the controls

that are explained in the operating

instructions. Improper adjustment of

other controls may result in damage

and may require service by a

qualified technician to restore the

unit to normal operation.

b. If the unit has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

c. If unit performance deteriorates.

If damage to the unit exposes any

internal parts, disconnect the power cord

immediately and return the unit to your

dealer.

Do not use your headset at a high

volume. The use of excessive sound

volume through a headset may cause

hearing loss.

Installation

Do not install the unit in any other way

than described in relevant manuals.

Do not touch the unit, AC adaptor, AC

adaptor cord, or power cord during a

lightning storm.

Only connect the unit to the type of

electric power specified on the label

affixed to the unit. Confirm the type of

electric power supplied to the installation

site if necessary.
