electrical appliances (microwave, 
wireless LAN appliance, etc.), noise may 
be heard. Move away from those 
appliances and closer to the base unit.
LIf you use the handset near another 
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may 
be heard. Move away from the other 
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to 
your base unit.

Panasonic battery performance
Note:
LBattery operating time may be 
shortened over time depending on 
usage conditions and ambient 
temperature.
LBattery power is consumed whenever 
the handset is off the charger, even 
when the handset is not in use. The 
longer you leave the handset off the 
charger, the shorter you can actually talk 
using the handset.
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
Important:
LUse only the rechargeable Panasonic 
battery noted on page 6.
1Press the notch of the handset cover 
firmly, and slide it in the direction of the 
arrow.
