Preparation

Battery charge
Place the handset on the base unit for 6
hours before initial use.
L
The unit will beep once, the CHARGE
indicator will light, and “Charging” will
be displayed.
L “Charge completed” is displayed
when the battery has been fully charged.
The CHARGE indicator will remain lit.
Note:
L
To ensure the battery charges properly,
clean the charge contacts of the handset
and base unit with a soft, dry cloth once
a month. Clean more often if the unit is
subject to grease, dust, or high humidity.
Battery strength
You can confirm the battery strength on the
handset display.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
– “Recharge battery” is displayed or
3 flashes on the handset display.
– the handset beeps intermittently while it
is in use.
Note:
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 4 when you place the
handset on the base unit.
Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully
charged, you can expect approximately
the following performance:
*1 Handset is off the base unit but not in
use.
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 shorter you can actually
talk on the handset. Actual battery
performance depends on a combination
of how often the handset is in use and
how often it is not in use.
L
Once the battery is fully charged, you do
not have to charge it again until
“Recharge battery” is displayed or
3
flashes. This will maximise the
battery life.
