Setting up the handset for use

The display is protected by a plastic film.

Please remove the protective film!

Inserting the batteries

Insert the batteries the right way round

(see figure).

The polarity is indicated in the battery

compartment.

The handset switches on automatically.

You will hear a confirmation tone.

Closing the battery cover

Place the cover on the battery compart-

ment as shown in the diagram, then

push it up until it clicks into position.

Opening the battery cover

Press down on the battery cover below

its upper end and slide the cover down.

Connecting the charging cradle

Connecting the charging cradle and

mounting it on the wall (if required) is

described at the end of this user guide.

To charge the batteries, leave the hand-

set in the charging cradle.

Initial charging and discharging of

batteries

Battery charging is indicated in the top

right of the display by a flashing battery

icon

e, V or U. During handset

operation, the battery icon indicates the

charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be dis-

played when the batteries are first fully

charged and discharged through use.

To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle without interruption

until the battery icon stops flashing in

the display (approx. 13 hours).

Once the batteries are fully charged,

remove the handset from the charging

cradle and do not put it back again until

the batteries are fully discharged.

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-

mended by Siemens on page 30! This means

that you must never use conventional (non-

rechargeable) or other battery types as this

could result in significant health risks and

damage to property. For example, the outer

casing of the batteries could be destroyed or

the batteries could explode. The phone could

also malfunction or be damaged as a result of

using batteries that are not of the recom-

mended type.

Please note:

– Only place the handset in the charging cra-

dle that is intended for it.

– If the handset has switched itself off

because the batteries are flat and if it is

then placed in the charging cradle, it will

switch itself on automatically.

Please note:

After the first battery charge and discharge,

you may replace your handset in the charging

cradle after every call.
