Recharge battery

•The display will continually indicate “Recharge battery” and/or “3” will flash when the handset battery is charged for less than 15 minutes and the handset is lifted off the base unit.

•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. The handset will not work unless the battery is charged. Continue charging.

Battery replacement:

If you cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery, but after a few telephone calls, “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “3” continues to flash, or “Charge for 6 HRS” and “4” are displayed, the battery may need to be replaced. Please replace with a new Panasonic HHR-P104 battery. To replace the battery, see page 12.

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

After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation	Operating time
While in use (TALK)	Up to 5 hours
While not in use (Standby)	Up to 11 days
While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 25)	Up to 3 hours

•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 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 TALK mode and how often it is in Standby mode.

•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.

•If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the base unit until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “3” 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 being used. The battery cannot be overcharged.

•When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on automatically or manually, battery operating time may be shortened (p. 25).
