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 
3 flashes. This will maximize the 
battery life.Battery replacement
If battery performance diminishes, make 
sure you have cleaned the charge 
contacts and fully charged the battery. The 
battery needs to be replaced if any of the 
following are displayed after a few phone 
calls even when you have fully charged the 
battery.
–“Recharge battery”
–3 (flashing)
–“Charge for 6 HRS”
–4
LUse only the rechargeable Panasonic 
battery noted on page 5.
1Press the notch on the cover firmly and 
slide it as indicated by the arrow.
2Replace the old battery with a new one, 
and close the cover (see page 10 for 
battery installation).
Attention:
A nickel metal hydride battery that is
