CHARGE indicator

Note: L To ensure the battery charges properly, clean the charge contacts of the handset and base unit with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust, or high humidity. Battery strength You can confirm the battery strength on the handset display. Battery icon 3 Battery strength Fully charged Medium Low When flashing: needs to be recharged. Discharged
*1 Handset is off the base unit but not in use. Note: L Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit, 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 3 flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

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 3 (flashing) Charge for 6 HRS 4 L Use only the rechargeable Panasonic battery noted on page 6.
Screen saver mode (Color display models only)
Important: L Only the KX-TG5566, KX-TGA551, and KX-TGA552 support this feature. After 1 minute of inactivity, the handset will enter screen saver mode if the handset is not on the base unit or charger. Screen saver will be displayed, and will occasionally change position in order to preserve the life of the display. Example:
Press the notch on the cover firmly and slide it as indicated by the arrow.

Screen saver

To cancel screen saver mode To use the handset when it is in screen saver mode, first press {OFF} to turn the display on again.
Replace the old battery with a new one, and close the cover (see page 12 for battery installation).

Using Caller ID service

This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to your telephone companys Caller ID service. Caller ID features When an outside call is being received, the calling partys name and telephone number will be displayed. Example:
Call Waiting Caller ID display If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd callers information will be displayed after you hear a Call Waiting tone (page 23). Note: L Please contact your telephone company for details and availability of this service in your area.

Talking Caller ID

This feature allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display. When a call comes in, the handset and base unit will announce the callers name displayed on the handset following every ring. To use this feature, you must subscribe to your telephone companys Caller ID service. L If the unit does not receive Caller ID information, the unit will announce Call from out of area, Call from private caller, or Call from long distance. L If a call is received from an area where name display service is not available, Number available will be announced. L Name pronunciation may vary. This feature may not pronounce all names correctly. L The unit will announce each letter of abbreviations, such as Co. and Inc. L Caller ID supports names of up to 15 letters. If the callers name has more than 15 letters, the name will not be displayed or announced correctly. L If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (such as IDENTA-RING), your unit may mute one or more of the rings in order to announce the name of the caller. L If the ringer volumes of the handset and base unit are turned off, caller names will not be announced. The announcement is heard at the ringer volume (page 26, 49).

BROWN,NANCY 1-555-666-7777
Caller information for the last 50 different callers will be logged in the caller list, allowing you to return missed calls. Caller information is stored by the most recent call to the oldest. L When Caller ID information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the handset will use the ringer tone and the ringer indicator color you assigned to the caller. (Ringer ID and light-up ID) L Color display models (KX-TG5566 and KX-TGA552 only): When Caller ID information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the handset will display the picture you assigned to the caller. (Picture ID) L If the unit cannot receive caller information, the following will be displayed: Out of area: The caller dialed from an area which does not provide Caller ID service. Private caller: The caller requested not to send caller information. Long distance: The caller called you long distance. L If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
L When you receive a call while on the phone, the 2nd callers name will not be announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.
