  There are several possible reasons why your Panasonic Cordless Telephone unit might not be working. First, ensure the batteries are correctly installed. Secondly, fully charge the batteries. Also, check the connections. If the issue persists, try unplugging the base unit's AC adapter to reset the unit, then reconnect it. Finally, the handset may not be registered to the base unit; in this case, register the handset.

  If you're having trouble pairing your cellular phone to the Panasonic Cordless Telephone base unit, consider these points. It may be due to the compatibility of the cellular phone with the base unit, so confirm that your cellular phone supports the hands-free profile (HFP) specification. Ensure that the Bluetooth feature of your cellular phone is turned on. The Bluetooth technology on your cellular phone may not be functioning normally, so turn it off and on. If your cellular phone is already connected to another Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth headset, turn it off or disconnect it from your cellular phone. Some cellular phones may require you to enter the Bluetooth PIN to pairing, so confirm that you entered the correct PIN.
