Installation
Installing the backup battery in the base unit
A rechargeable NiMH battery works as emergency power during a power failure. The fully 
charged backup battery provides the base unit with a minimum of 20 minutes operation. 
The battery is charged in the base unit while the AC adaptor is connected (page 12). It 
takes approximately 16 hours to charge fully.
Note:
LThe battery cannot be overcharged.
LIf the backup battery has been discharged, the unit will not work during a power failure. 
If required, the unit can be replaced with a standard telephone to restore service during 
the power outage.
1Open the battery cover.
2Install the backup battery in the 
battery compartment. Plug in 
battery connector as 
shown, and close the 
battery cover.
BATTERY indicator:
LThe BATTERY indicator lights while the 
battery is being charged. (This is 
normal.)
LDuring a power failure (or if the AC 
adaptor is disconnected), the BATTERY 
indicator shows the battery strength:
Blinking slowly: The unit is operating 
from the battery backup.
Blinking fast: The battery is not 
connected, defective or 
non-chargeable.BATTERY

until it fits in position within the 
compartment.
Note:
LThe end of the battery with the metal

Battery strength
You can confirm the battery strength on the 
cordless handset display.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery when:
–“Recharge battery” is displayed and 
“7” flashes on the cordless handset 
display.
– the cordless handset beeps every 60 
seconds while it is in use.
Note:
LRecharge the cordless handset battery 
for more than 15 minutes or the display 
will continue showing the indication.
LWhen the battery is about to fail, the 
cordless handset will display “Charge 
for 7 hrs” and 8. The cordless 
handset will not work unless the battery 
is charged. 
Battery performance
After your Panasonic battery is fully 
charged, you can expect the following 
performance:
Note:
LBattery power is consumed whenever 
the cordless handset is off the charger, 
even when the cordless handset is not in 
use. The longer you leave the cordless 
handset off the charger, the shorter you 
can actually talk on the cordless 
handset. Actual battery performance 
depends on a combination of how often 
the cordless 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 and 
“7” flashes. This will maximize the 
battery life.
LIf you want to keep the battery fully 
charged at all times, place the cordless 
handset on the charger when the 
cordless handset is not in use. The 
battery cannot be overcharged.
