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

*1 Handset is off the base unit or charger 

but not in use.

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 maximize the 

battery life.

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.

Press the notch on the cover firmly and 
slide it as indicated by the arrow.

Replace the old battery with a new one, 
and close the cover (see page 10 for 
battery installation).

A nickel metal hydride battery that is
