The bottom half of the screen of one of my handsets is blank, and the battery icon shows one notch. Does it need to be recharged, or is the blank half of the screen the result of a different problem?

Hi,

please power cycle the phone unit and check for the display screen when it's on the base again. If still having the issue, please attempt a factory reset of the device. Then, you can setup the phone just as you did when it was brand new. Otherwise, you might have to keep the receiver off of the display in order to allow the screen to show data as it used to.

Thank you.

Look at the back of the KX-TGA560B handset. You should see a notch. Press down firmly on the notch on the battery cover side and slide the cover towards the bottom of the handset.

This is shown on page 3 in the handset manual which is available on the product page: http://shop.panasonic.com/support-only/KX-TGA560B.html . The direct link to the manual is ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/accessory/phone_fax/om/kx-tga560_mul_om.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Most likely, your rechargeable battery went dead. Replace the battery, charge it fully overnight, and the phone should be fine again.

While the screen goes blank, does it drop the call? Are the handsets fully charged, or are they on the charging dock whenever they are not in use?

The batteries may need to be replaced. Bad batteries can in some cases cause the phone features to not fully work. They are located in the back, bottom of the handset.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/mike_005777b2fc6bfc30

On the handset of the Panasonic KX-TG5432, once you see the battery icon low (one bar) and flashing, it means you have to recharge it.

To fix this issue:

1. Unplug the Unit
2. Unplug the Phone Cord
3. Disconnect the Battery from the Handset
4. Wait 10-15 minutes… and put back together in Reverse Order
5. Connect the Handset Battery
6. Plug-in the Phone Cord
7. Plug-in the Unit

You can do this w/o the phone cord attached.

Hi,

There could be three (3) reasons why the display shows the battery icon at the top left side of the LCD display:
1. weak/undercharge/discharge batteries;
2. dirty/corroded/loose battery contacts/terminals; and/or
3. internal fault with the electronic sensing for battery level/state.

Corrective measures would require:
a. replace/recharge batteries. The rechargeable batteries need at least 12 hours of charging time;
b. clean, scrape, tighten (need to bend a little more towards the battery terminals) the spring/contacts of the battery holder;
c. (on the internal fault) your best bet might be to seek the services of a professional electronic technician since this would need familiarity with electronic components, their circuitry and diagnosis, perhaps a bit of soldering and the use of a DVM.

On the other hand, if the "low" is the "L" icon at the bottom right side of the display, this would indicate that the radio's transmit power setting (H/L - high/low). Transmit power level can only be changed in Channels 1-7 & 15-22. The radio will also auto change to lo power when batteries are weak.To switch to high power, press on the Menu button thrice or till "Pr" icon shows, press on the up/down to select H or L. To save & exit, momentary press the PTT.

Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
