Battery Charge

The handset is powered by a rechargeable NickelMetal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery. Charge the battery for

6hours before initial use (p. 9).

Base Unit Location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and handset using wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, the recommended base unit location is:

Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.

Raise the antenna.

Note:

• If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from the receiver or the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.

• If 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.

Installation

Connections

• 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.)

• If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID and voice mail services, you cannot access those services.

• The unit will not work 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.

Installation

Installing the Battery in the Handset

Insert the battery (1), and press it down until it snaps into the compartment (2). Close the cover.

To replace the battery:

Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow. Replace the old battery with a new one (p. 10). Close the cover and charge the battery for 6 hours.

Battery Charge

Preparation

Place the handset on the base unit. Charge for 6 hours before initial use.

• The unit beeps once, the CHARGE indicator lights, and “Charging” is displayed.

• When the battery is fully charged, “Charge completed” is displayed.

Battery strength

You can confirm battery strength on the handset display. Battery strength is indicated by the icons shown in the chart to the right.

For assistance, please call: 1-800-211-PANA(7262)

Installation

Recharge

Recharge the battery when: —“Recharge battery” is displayed on the handset, —“7” flashes, or —the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.

• The display will continually indicate “Recharge battery” and/or “7” 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 6h”

and “8” when you place the handset on the base unit. The handset will not work unless the battery is charged. Continue charging.

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 “7” continues to flash, or “Charge for 6h” and “8” 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 9.

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.

Recharge 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.

• 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 “7” 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.

• 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.
