SOURCE: I have a Panasonic KX-TG6051CM
I had the same problem, and it seems that the battery charging circuit in the handset had locked up, constantly charging the battery until it overheated. I was able to reset the circuit in my handset by completely draining the battery. Here is the procedure:
1. Remove the handset from the charging cradle, and leave it on for a few days until the battery runs out, and the handset finally turns off. At his point, the battery will be very low, BUT NOT COMPLETELY DRAINED.
2. Next, you must manually drain the charge remaining in the battery by shorting out the two contacts on it. Shorting won't damage the battery, since it is holding very little charge at this point. An easy way to physically do this is to remove the battery, and place a piece of thin wire across the the two contacts of the HANDSET. I am referring to the contacts inside the handset that connect to the battery, NOT the contacts on the bottom outside that connect the handset to the charging cradle. Next, put the battery back in, sandwiching the wire between the battery's contacts and those inside the handset. This will hold the wire in place. DO NOT PUT THE HANDSET BACK INTO THE CHARGER, WITH THE BATTERY SHORTED OUT.
3. Wait about 30 minutes for the battery to completely die. Remove the jumper wire, and but the handset back into the charger.
4. If the battery was fully discharged , you will get a message on the handset telling you that you should let it will charge for 7 hours. If you do not get this message, then either the battery was not fully discharged, or your problem is different from mine. Try the procedure again in Step 3 for another 30 minutes to discharge the battery some more.
5. If you get the "Wait for 7 hours to charge" message on the handset, then leave it in the charging cradle for the 7 hours requested. After that, it should work fine.
Let me know how you make out.
SOURCE: one of the handsets does not work. the other two handsets are OK
Probably defective unit.Try and get it replaced.
On another note, when these phones act like they are going to **** out on you in about a year (manufacturers often use the lowest bidder for batteries on these), replace the batteries with Energizer rechargeable equivalent. That exact scenario worked great for me and my older Panasonic setup is running 4 years strong on the Energizers.

This works on MY panasonic; May work on yours too!
Registering a handset
The included handset and base unit are
preregistered. If for some reason the
handset is not registered to the base
unit, register the handset.
1 Handset:
{MENU} i {0}{0}{1}
2 Base unit:
Press and hold {LOCATOR/
INTERCOM} until the IN USE
indicator flashes.
LAfter the IN USE indicator starts
flashing, the rest of the procedure
must be completed within 1
minute.
3 Handset:
Press {OK}, then wait until a beep
sounds.
4 {OFF}
Registering an additional handset
See page 5 for information on the
available model.
Start from step 2.
SOURCE: Pan KX-TG3032CS: Handset has dialtone on Speaker,
Made phone call on Speaker; worked OK.
(Had to phone the library anyway; good test.)
Took handset apart, determined normal ear speaker was OK.
Disconnected Speaker - never used it anyway.
Switched ear speaker wires to Speaker connection. Soldered connection.
Phone now works fine; just press Speaker rather than Talk.
No parts, no cost, & a working phone. And if there's a problem I can simply reconnect the Speaker & use it that way.
SOURCE: Is it possible to download ringtones on my
Unlike a cellphone, your cordless phone does not have the ability to download ringtones. You have to select from the ones built in to the phone.
