2.3 Battery charge
Place the handset on the charger for about 6
hours before initial use.
L The unit beeps once, the [CHARGE]
indicator (
1) will light, and “Charging” will
be displayed.
L When the battery is fully charged, “ Charge
completed” will be displayed if there is no
new caller information received (page 44).
Note:
L To ensure the battery charges properly,
clean the handset charge contacts (
2)
and the charger charge contacts (
3) with
a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more
often if the unit is subject to grease, dust
or high humidity.
L The battery cannot be overcharged.
Battery strength
You can confirm the battery strength on the
handset display.
Battery life
L After your Panasonic battery is fully charged,
you can expect the following performance:
– it should last up to 5 hours while in use (in
conversation).
– it should last up to about 11 days while not
in use (off the charger).
– it should last up to 3 hours while using the
clarity booster feature (page 35).
Note:
L Battery power is consumed whenever the
handset is off the charger, even when the
handset is not in use. The longer you leave
the handset off the charger, the time you can
actually talk on the handset will be
shortened. Actual battery performance
depends on a combination of how often the
handset is in use (in conversation) and how
often it is not in use (off the charger).
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do not
have to place the handset on the charger until
“
Recharge battery” is displayed and/or
0688754 flashes. This will maximize the
battery life.
Recharge
Recharge the battery when:
–
“ Recharge battery” is shown and/or
0688754 flashes on the handset display.
– the handset beeps intermittently while it is in
use.
L Recharge the handset battery for more than
15 minutes, or the display will continue
showing the indication.
L If the battery has been discharged, the
handset will display “
Charge for 6 HRS”
and 68885 when you place the handset on
the charger. The handset will not work unless
the battery is charged. Continue charging.
