your municipal waste stream. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for 
information on how to recycle this battery.
Battery information
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged:
•The battery operating time may be shortened depending on usage conditions and 
ambient temperature.
•Clean the charge contacts of the handset, the base unit 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 handset on the base 
unit or the charger until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “” 
flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
•The battery cannot be overcharged.
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 needs to 
be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic P-P511 battery at the telephone
