For Best Performance

Battery Charge

The handset is powered by a rechargeable NickelMetal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery. Charge the battery for 6hours 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:

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.

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 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 battery

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.

• 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.

Greeting Message

You can record a personal greeting message of up to 2 minutes. If you do not record your own message, one of two pre-recorded greetings will be played for callers (p. 21).

The total recording time of all messages (greeting, incoming and memo) is about 16 minutes. We recommend you record a brief greeting message in order to leave more time for recording new messages.
