¶ Identifying Phone Model
To start and successfully complete the registration of your Panasonic phone, you need to know which phone model to set up.
On the back of each Panasonic phone, there is model information that you should check. Although various phone models can have exactly the same requirements and installation procedures, phone models can also have significantly different requirements and installation procedures, so that is why it is important to know the model you own which results in you setting up the phone successfully.
