Note:

LTo 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.

LThe battery cannot be overcharged.

Battery life

LAfter 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 charger).

–it should last up to 3 hours while using the clarity booster feature (page 35).

Note:

LBattery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the charger, 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 charger).

LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the charger until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or 0688754 flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

Recharge

Recharge the battery when:

–“Recharge battery” is shown and/or

0688754 flashes on the handset display.

–the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.

LRecharge the handset battery for more than 15 minutes, or the display will continue

showing the indication.

LIf the battery has been discharged, the handset will display “Charge for 6 HRS” and 68885 when you place the handset on the charger. The handset will not work unless the battery is charged. Continue charging.
