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

• 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.

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. 24).
