Battery life
L Battery life is dependent on use and
conditions, but in general if your Panasonic
battery is fully charged:
20 For Fax Advantage assistance, call 1-800-435-7329.
– it should last up to 4.5 hours while in use
(in conversation).
– it should last up to about 11 days while not
in use (off the charger).
– it should last up to 3.5 hours while using
the reception booster feature (page 34).
L If your Panasonic battery is fully charged and
the 2-way radio mode (page 49) is used:
– the battery should last up to 4.5 hours
while in use (in conversation).
– it should last up to about 12 hours while

Note:
L Once the battery is fully charged you do not
have to place the handset on the charger
after every use. Placing the handset on the
charger only when "Recharge battery" is
