2.2 Battery charge
Place the handset on the cradle of the base unit
for about 6 hours before initial use.
L The unit will beep once, the [CHARGE]
indicator (
1) will light, and “Charging” will
be displayed.
L When the battery is fully charged, “ Charge
completed” will be displayed.
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 base unit).
Note:
L Battery power is consumed whenever the
handset is off the base unit, even when the
handset is not in use. The longer you leave
the handset off the base unit, 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 base unit).
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do not
have to place the handset on the cradle of the
base unit until “
Recharge battery” is
displayed and/or 68879 flashes. This will
maximize the battery life.
Recharge
Recharge the battery when:
–
“ Recharge battery” is shown and/or
68879 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 6h” and
68889 when you place the handset on the
cradle of the base unit. The handset will not
work unless the battery is charged. Continue
charging.
