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.

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 or charger.

• If the battery has been discharged, the handset will display “Charge for 6h”

and “8” when you place the handset on the base unit or charger. 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.

Battery information

Recharge battery

Preparation

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 or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off of the base unit or charger, 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 or charger 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 or charger when the handset is not used. The battery cannot be overcharged.

• Clean the charge contacts of the handset, the base unit and the charger 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.

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

Ringer Tone

You can set the handset and base unit ringers to use one of 7 ringer patterns for outside calls. “Tone 1” to “Tone 3” are bell ringer patterns. “Melody 1” to “Melody 4” are preset melody patterns. The factory preset is “Tone 1”.

• You cannot change the ringer tone for intercom calls.

• If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Service (such as IDENTA-RING) from your telephone company with 2 or 3 consecutive rings, select a bell ringer pattern (Tone 1 to 3). If you select a melody pattern, you will not be able to distinguish lines by their ringers.

• If you select one of the melody ringer patterns, the ringer will continue to sound for several seconds if: — the caller hangs up before you answer the call, or — another person answers the call using another phone connected on the same

line.
