Recharge

Recharge the battery when:

—“Recharge battery” is displayed on the handset,
—“7” flashes, or

—the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.

• Th e 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 th e 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 ba ttery.

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 continu ous 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 handse t 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 th e batte r y is fully charge d, 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 yo u 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.

Voice mail is an automatic answering service offered by your telephone company. If

you subscribe to this service, your telephone company’s voice mail system can

answer calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your

which are maintained for you at the phone company, allowing you to listen to your

messages whenever you like. The unit will let you know that someone has left voice

mail for you (p. 44). Once you have stored your voice mail access number, you can

access your voice mailbox simply by pressing [MENU] on the handset, then

requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug

is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible

telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telepho ne line may result in the devices not

ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs

should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be

connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone

company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is

part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits

represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the tele phone company

will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be

required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the

Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comp ly with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful inte rfere nce in a residential

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

Some cordless telephones operate at frequ encies that may cause interference to

nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the

cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If

interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV

or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
