• This unit will not function during a power failure, unless it is connected to the ADT
Security System.
• If the unit is connected to a telephone line with DSL service, you may hear noise

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 “ ” continues to
flash, or “Charge for 6 HRS” and “ ” are displayed, the battery may need
to be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic HHR-P402 battery at the
telephone number shown on page 2. To replace the battery, see page 11.
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
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following
performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use (TALK) Up to 6 hours
While not in use (Standby) Up to 14 days
While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 31) Up to 4 hours
• A fully charged battery will give you up to 6 hours of continuous talk time, or keep
your cordless handset in Standby mode to receive incoming calls for up to 14 days
(if no phone calls are made). Battery power is consumed whenever the cordless
handset is off of the charger, even when the cordless handset is not in use. The
longer you leave the cordless handset off of the charger, the time you can actually
talk on the cordless handset will be shortened. Actual battery performance
depends on a combination of how often the cordless handset is in TALK mode and
how often it is in Standby mode.
• Clean the charge contacts of the cordless handset 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.
• If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the cordless handset on the
charger until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “ ” flashes. This will
maximize the battery life.
• If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the cordless
handset on the charger when the cordless handset is not used. The battery
cannot be overcharged.
• When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on (p. 31), battery operating time may
be shortened.
