Installation
Recharge
Recharge the battery when:
—the RECHARGE indicator flashes, or
—the handset beeps intermittently while it
is in use.
• The RECHARGE indicator will flash when
the handset battery is charged less than
15 minutes and the handset is lifted off
the base unit.
A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the
product you have purchased. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this
battery.
Battery information
• A fully charged battery will give you up to 5 hours of continuous talk time, or keep
your handset in standby mode to receive incoming calls for up to 11 days (if no
phone calls are made). Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off of
the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the
handset off of 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 TALK mode and how often it is in Standby mode.
• If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the base
unit until the RECHARGE indicator flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
• If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the handset on the
base unit when the handset is not used. The battery cannot be overcharged.
• Clean the charge contacts of the handset and the base unit with a soft, dry
cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or
high humidity. Otherwise the battery may not charge properly.
Battery replacement:
If you cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery, but
after a few telephone calls, the RECHARGE indicator flashes, the
battery may need to be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic
HHR-P104 battery at the telephone number shown on page 2. To
replace the battery, see page 10.
After your Panasonic
battery is fully charged,
you can expect the
