Battery strength
You can confirm the battery strength on the 
handset display.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
–“Recharge battery” is displayed or 
7 flashes on the handset display.
– the handset beeps intermittently while it 
is in use.
Note:
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 6h” 
and 8 when you place the handset 
on the base unit.
Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully 
charged, you can expect the following 
performance:
*1 Handset is off the base unit but not in 
use.
Note:
LBattery 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.
LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do 
not have to charge it again until 
“Recharge battery” is displayed or 
7 flashes. This will maximize the 
battery life.
