2.3 Battery charge
Place the handset on the charger for about 15
hours before initial use.
L The CHARGE indicator ( 1) will light, a beep
will sound and “Charging” 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 verify the battery strength on the
handset display.
Battery life
L Battery life is dependent on use and
conditions, but in general if your Panasonic
battery is fully charged:
– it should last up to 4.5 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 3.5 hours while using
the reception booster feature (page 34).
L If your Panasonic battery is fully charged and
the 2-way radio mode (page 49) is used:
–
the battery should last up to 4.5 hours
while in use (in conversation).
– it should last up to about 12 hours while
not in use (off the charger).
Note:
L Once the battery is fully charged you do not
have to place the handset on the charger
after every use. Placing the handset on the
charger only when “Recharge battery” is
displayed and/or 0688754 flashes will
maximize battery life.
Recharge
Recharge the battery when:
–
the handset beeps intermittently while it is in
use.
– “Recharge battery” is shown and/or
0688754
flashes on the handset display.
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 not work. The handset will
display “Charge for 15HRS” and 68885
when you place the handset on the charger.
