Battery life
LAfter your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
–it should last up to 5 hours while in use (in conversation).
–it should last up to about 11 days while not in use (off the base unit).
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 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 use (in conversation) and how often it is not in use (off the base unit).
LOnce the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the cradle of the base unit until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or 68879 flashes. This will maximize the battery life.
Recharge
Recharge the battery when:
–“Recharge battery” is shown and/or
68879 flashes on the handset display.
–the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.
LRecharge the handset battery for more than 15 minutes, or the display will continue showing the indication.
LIf the battery has been discharged, the handset will display “Charge for 6h” and 68889 when you place the handset on the cradle of the base unit. The handset will not work unless the battery is charged. Continue charging.
