Battery information
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use (TALK) Up to 5 hours
While not in use (Standby) Up to 11 days
While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 21) Up to 3 hours
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 “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “ 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.
When the Clarity Booster feature is turned on automatically or manually, battery operating time may be shortened (p. 21).
