For Best Performance

Battery Charge

The handset is powered by a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery. Charge the battery for 6 hours before initial use (p. 10).

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.

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

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.

AC Adaptor

• USE ONLY WITH Panasonic AC ADAPTOR PQLV1.

• The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)

• 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 a T-adaptor.

• The unit beeps once and the CHARGE indicator lights.

CHARGE Indicator

Installation

Recharge

Recharge the battery when: —the RECHARGE indicator flashes, or —the handset beeps intermittently while it

is in use.

• The RECHARGE indicator will flash when the handset battery is charged for less than 15 minutes and the handset is lifted off the base unit.

Battery replacement:

If you cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery, but after a few telephone calls, the RECHARGE indicator flashes, the battery may need to be replaced. Please replace with a new Panasonic HHR-P104 battery. To replace the battery, see page 10.

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 Indicator

Preparation

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.

• 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.

• If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the base unit until the RECHARGE indicator 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.

While in use (TALK) Up to 5 hours

While not in use (Standby) Up to 11 days
