5 For best performance
Base unit location/avoiding noise
The base unit and other compatible Panasonic units use radio waves to
communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the
following:
• Placing the product away from electrical appliances.
• Placing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no
obstructions such as walls.
• Raising the antenna vertically.
• If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used,
noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer
to the base unit.
• If you use the handset near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise
may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit
and closer to your base unit.
Environment
• Keep the product away from electrical noise generating devices, such
as fluorescent lamps and motors.
• The product should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high
temperature, and vibration.
• The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the product.
• When you leave the product unused for a long period of time, unplug
the product from the power outlet.
• The 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 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F).
Damp basements should also be avoided.
• The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the product is
used in the following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels,
underground, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

Preparation
6 Location of controls
Base unit Handset
Attention:
A nickel cadmium battery that is recyclable powers the
product you have purchased. At the end of its useful life,
under various state and local laws, it is illegal to dispose of
this battery into your municipal waste stream. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) for information on how
to recycle this battery.
Battery charge
Place the handset on the base unit or charger for about 12 hours before
initial use.
• The CHARGE indicator lights.
• Place each handset on the base unit once before initial use to activate
all handsets.
Base unit Charger (KX-TG2122 only)
• To ensure that the battery charges properly, clean the charge contacts
of the handset, base unit, and charger with a soft, dry cloth once a
month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to the exposure of grease,
dust, or high humidity.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
– “RECHARGE” is displayed,
“
” is displayed, or
– the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.
Panasonic battery performance
Operation Operating time
While in use (talking) Up to 5 hours
While not in use (standby) Up to 5 days
Note:
• Battery operating time may be shortened over time depending on usage
conditions and surrounding temperature.
• Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in use. Hence the longer you leave
the handset off the base unit or charger, the less time you may actually
talk using the handset.
• If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on
the base unit or charger until “RECHARGE” and/or “
”are
displayed. This will maximize the battery life.
