Introduction
By registering the key detector to a Panasonic Digital Cordless Phone and
attaching it to an easy-to-lose item in advance, you can locate and find the mislaid
item to which the key detector is attached.
Important:
R Up to 4 key detectors can be registered to a Panasonic Digital Cordless Phone.
R The key detector is not water-resistant. Exposing it to rain, water, or high
humidity may cause it to malfunction.
Note:
R Even if the handset is out of the range of the base unit, you can use the handset
to search for the key detector. While searching, the handset cannot receive calls.
R If a call is received while you are searching for the key detector with the
handset, that handset does not ring. If you find that a call is being received on
the base unit or another handset, you can stop searching and answer the call by
using that handset.
R If the handset is placed on the base unit for the power back-up feature, the key
detector function does not work.

detection beeps and displays the signal strength (5 levels) and level value
(1 – 100), and then the key detector emits responding beeps. As you point
the handset in the right direction and then move closer to the item:
– Handset: the frequency of the detection beeps will increase and a higher

Note:
R Only one handset can search for a key detector. Other handsets cannot search
at the same time.
R The volume of the detection beeps and responding beeps cannot be changed.
Range guidelines
R The range of the handset and key detector under the best conditions is about
50 m (160 feet) indoors and about 200 m (650 feet) outdoors. Please note this
range may be shorter when the key detector is near concrete barriers, etc.
Operating tips
R Place the key detector away from the handset and practice locating it a few
times to get a feel for how it works.
R If you cannot figure out which room of your house the key detector was left in,
first point the handset upwards to search higher floors and then point the
handset downwards to search lower floors in order to check the search level.
Then, start your search from the room which shows the highest search level with
the doors closed.
R When the level value reaches 70 – 90, we recommend you turn off the handset
detection beeps by pressing MMUTEN and listen for the responding beeps from
the key detector.
R When you search for the key detector, we recommend that you:
– turn off electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, washing machines, and
cleaners and search in a quiet environment.
– refrain from using other wireless appliances.
R If you are close to a wall and getting a strong signal, check the room next door.
R If error messages are displayed, try moving to a different area.
Checking the battery
Important:
R Place the key detector near the handset when checking the battery of the key
detector.
