L Placing the unit away from electrical

appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.

L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and

CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

L Raising the antennas vertically. L If you use the handset near a microwave

oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.

L 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.

following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

L Operating near 5.8 GHz electrical

appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

Battery performance

After your Panasonic battery is fully charged, you can expect approximately the following performance:

Operation Operating time

While in use (talking)

While not in use (standby)

While using the Clarity Booster feature (page 19)

*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger

but not in use.

Note:

L Battery power is consumed whenever

the handset is off the base unit or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.

L Once the battery is fully charged, you do

not have to charge it again until “Recharge battery” is displayed or 7 flashes. This will maximise the battery life.

Up to 5 hours

Up to 11 days

Up to 3 hours

Battery replacement

If battery performance diminishes, make sure you have cleaned the charge contacts and fully charged the battery. The battery needs to be replaced if any of the following are displayed after a few phone calls even when you have fully charged the battery.

–“Recharge battery” – 7 (flashing) –“Charge for 6h” – 8 L Use only the rechargeable Panasonic

battery noted on page 5.
