on how to recycle this battery
.
Battery information
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following 
performance:
•A fully charged battery will give you up to 6 hours of continuous talk time, or keep 
your cordless handset in Standby mode to receive incoming calls for up to 14 days 
(if no phone calls are made). Battery power is consumed whenever the cordless 
handset is off of the charger, even when the cordless handset is not in use. The 
longer you leave the cordless handset off of the charger, the time you can actually 
talk on the cordless handset will be shortened. Actual battery performance 
depends on a combination of how often the cordless handset is in TALK mode and 
how often it is in Standby mode.
• Clean the charge contacts of the cordless handset and the charger 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 cordless handset on the 
charger until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “ ” flashes. This will 
maximize the battery life.
•If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the cordless 
handset on the charger when the cordless handset is not used. The battery 
cannot be overcharged.
•When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on (p. 31), battery operating time may 
be shortened.
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 “ ” continues to 
flash, or “Charge for 6 HRS” and “ ” are displayed, the battery may need 
to be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic HHR-P402 battery at the 
telephone number shown on page 2. To replace the battery, see page 11.
OperationOperating time
While in use (TALK) Up to 6 hours
While not in use (Standby) Up to 14 days
While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 31) Up to 4 hours
