Recharge
Recharge the battery when:
— “Recharge battery” is displayed on the handset,
— “
3” flashes, or
— the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.
•The display will continually indicate “Recharge battery” and/or “
3” will 
flash when the handset battery is charged for less than 15 minutes and the 
handset is lifted off the base unit.
•If the battery has been discharged, the handset will display “Charge for 6 HRS” 
and “
4” when you place the handset on the base unit. The handset will not 
work unless the battery is charged. Continue charging.
A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product 
you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information 
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 5 hours of continuous talk time, or keep 
your handset in Standby mode to receive incoming calls for up to 11 days (if no 
phone calls are made). Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off of 
the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the 
handset off of the base unit, 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 TALK mode and how often it is in Standby mode.
• Clean the charge contacts of the handset and the base unit 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 until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “
3” flashes. This will 
maximize the battery life.
•If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the handset on the 
base unit when the handset is not used. The battery cannot be overcharged.
•When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on automatically or manually, battery 
operating time may be shortened (p. 24).
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 “
3” continues to 
flash, or “Charge for 6 HRS” and “
4” are displayed, the battery may need 
to be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic HHR-P104 battery at the 
telephone number shown on page 2. To replace the battery, see page 12.
