Battery charge
The handset is powered by a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery. Charge the battery for 6 hours before initial use (p. 13).
• As preventative maintenance, clean the handset and base unit charge contacts 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.
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:
way from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, cellular phone charging units or another cordless phone.
Raise the antennas.
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.
In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

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. 31) 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.
• As preventative maintenance, clean the handset and base unit charge contacts 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. 31).
