Battery information
After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
OperationOperating 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 “

(p. 26) by selecting pattern F, G, or H, then make a call to that number. Calls
from numbers in that area code will be edited automatically. The unit can remember

Setting Voice Mail (VM) Tone Detection
Your telephone company sends special signals (Voice mail tones) to the unit.
Press [C] or [s] to listen to the dial tone. If you hear a series of dial tones followed
by a continuous dial tone, this indicates that a new message was recorded. Voice
Mail detection is preset at the factory to ON. Minutes after you hang up or after the
phone stops ringing, your unit will seize the phone line and check if a message has
been recorded. If a new message was recorded at your telephone company,
“Voice Mail” will be displayed on the handset, the Ringer/Message Alert
indicator on the handset will flash slowly if Message Alert is turned on (p. 18), and
the VM indicator will flash on the base unit.
Turn off this programming when:
— you do not subscribe to a voice mail service,
— your telephone company does not send a series of tones, followed by a
continuous tone to indicate you have new voice mail, or
— your phone is connected to a business or office telephone system (PBX).

CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply 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 interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
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:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies 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.
Operating near 5.8GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away
from the electrical appliances.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
This product complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements the base
unit must be installed and operated with its antenna located 20 cm or more between
antenna and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet). The
handset unit may be carried and operated with only the specific provided belt-clip.
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply and
must be avoided. The base and handset units must not be co-located or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section
68.316.
When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might be heard in your Hearing Aid.
Some Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency)
energy. If noise occurs, use an optional headset accessory or the speakerphone
option (if applicable) when using this phone. Consult your audiologist or Hearing
Aid manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids which provide adequate
shielding to RF energy commonly emitted by digital devices.
