•Base unit: USE ONLY WITH Panasonic AC ADAPTOR PQLV1 (Order No. PQLV1Z).

•The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)

•The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.

•If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot access Caller ID services.

•This unit will not function during a power failure. We recommend connecting a standard telephone to the same telephone line or to the same telephone jack using the Panasonic KX-J66 T-adaptor, or using the Panasonic Battery Back-Up Power Supply KX-TCA200.

To replace the battery:

Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow. Replace the old battery with a new one (p. 17). Close the cover and charge the handset for 6 hours.

Installation

Recharge

Recharge the battery when:

—“Recharge battery” is displayed on the handset,

—“3” flashes, or

—the handset beeps intermittently while it is in use.

IN USE SPIPRIVACY3[1]

Recharge battery

•The display will continually indicate “Recharge battery” and/or “3” will flash when the handset battery is charged for less than 15 minutes and the handset is lifted off the base unit or charger.

•If the battery has been discharged, the handset will display “Charge for 6 HRS” and “4” when you place the handset on the base unit or charger. The handset will not work unless the battery is charged. Continue charging.

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 “3” continues to flash, or “Charge for 6 HRS” and “4” are displayed, the battery may need to be replaced. Please order a new Panasonic HHR-P104 battery at the telephone number shown on page 2. To replace the battery, see page 16.

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 5 hours
While not in use (Standby)	Up to 11 days
While using the Clarity Booster feature (p. 36)	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 or charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off of the base unit or charger, 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, the base unit and 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 handset on the base unit or charger until “Recharge battery” is displayed and/or “3” flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

•If you want to keep the battery fully charged at all times, place the handset on the base unit or charger 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. 36).
