property loss occurs while this

system is in operation.

RThe system’s wireless features are

subject to interference, therefore

functionality in all situations cannot

be guaranteed. Panasonic will not

be held responsible for injury or

damage to property that occurs in

the event of wireless communication

error or failure.

For your safety

To prevent severe injury and loss of life/

emitted from this product may cause

such devices to malfunction

resulting in an accident.

RDo not allow the cable to be

excessively pulled, bent or placed

under heavy objects. Keep the main

unit upright at all times.

RDo not allow the probe unit to make

contact with a battery or an electric

Operating safeguards

RDo not disassemble the product.

Medical

RConsult the manufacturer of any

personal medical devices, such as

pacemakers or hearing aids, to

determine if they are adequately

shielded from external RF (radio

frequency) energy. DECT features

operate between 1.92 GHz and

1.93 GHz with a peak transmission

power of 115 mW.

RDo not use the product in health

care facilities if any regulations

posted in the area instruct you not to

do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment

that could be sensitive to external

RF energy.

possible special disposal

instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For best performance

Hub location/avoiding noise

The hub and other compatible

Panasonic devices use radio waves to

communicate with each other.

RFor maximum coverage and

noise-free communications, place

your hub:

– at a convenient, high, and central

location with no obstructions

between the product and hub in

an indoor environment.

– away from electronic appliances

such as TVs, radios, personal

computers, wireless devices, or

other phones.

– facing away from radio frequency

transmitters, such as external

antennas of mobile phone cell

stations. (Avoid putting the hub

on a bay window or near a

window.)

RIf the reception for a hub location is

not satisfactory, move the hub to

another location for better reception.

Environment

RKeep the product away from

electrical noise generating devices,

such as fluorescent lamps and

motors.

RThe product should be kept free

from excessive smoke, dust, high

temperature, and vibration.

RThe product should not be exposed

to direct sunlight.

RDo not place heavy objects on top of

the product.

RThe product should be kept away

from heat sources such as heaters,

kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be

placed in rooms where the

temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F)

or greater than 40 °C (104 °F).

ROperating the product near electrical

appliances may cause interference.

Move away from the electrical

appliances.

RDo not allow the probe unit’s metal

probes to make contact with metal

objects. This may reduce the battery

life.

Other information

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery

is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to

the instructions.

Routine care

RWipe the outer surface of the

product with a soft moist cloth.

RDo not use benzine, thinner, or any

abrasive powder.

RIf the probe unit’s metal probes

come into contact with a foreign

material (oil, detergent, etc.), the

probes may repel water and

therefore will not be able to properly

detect a water leak. Periodically

check the metal probes and wipe

away any water or foreign material

that has become adhered to the

probes.

RIf the probes come into contact with

water, wipe the probe unit dry. Do

not allow the probes to remain in

contact with water for an extended

period of time, as the probes may

begin to turn black. (This will not

affect the product’s ability to detect a

water leak.)
