Installation
Connecting the AC Adaptor
Base unit
•Base unit: USE ONLY WITH Panasonic AC ADAPTOR PQLV1 (Order No. PQLV1Z).
•The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to 
feel warm during use.)
•The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC 
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the 
weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.
•If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot 
access Caller ID services.
•This unit will not function during a power failure. We recommend connecting a 
standard telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack 
using the Panasonic KX-J66 T-adaptor, or using the Panasonic Battery Back-Up 
Power Supply KX-TCA200.

For DSL service users
If the unit is connected to a telephone line with DSL service, you may hear noise 
from the receiver or speaker during conversations or the unit may not display 
caller’s name and/or phone number properly. We recommend connecting a noise 
filter* (contact your DSL service provider) to the DSL telephone line between the 
base unit and the telephone line jack.

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 or charger.
•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 or charger. 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 or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave 
the handset off of the base unit or charger, 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, the base unit and 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 charger 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 or charger 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. 36).
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 16.
OperationOperating time
While in use (TALK) Up to 5 hours
While not in use (Standby) Up to 11 days
