Leave the handset in the charging cra-
dle in the base to charge up the
batteries.
If you have any questions or problems see
page 33.
First battery charge and discharge
Battery charging is indicated in the top
right of the display by a flashing battery
icon e, V or U. During handset oper-
ation, 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
base without interruption until the
battery icon stops flashing in the dis-
play (approx. 6h). Your handset need
not be switched on for it to charge.
¤
Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the base and
do not put it back again until the batter-
ies are fully discharged.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.
u The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical rea-
sons.
Your telephone is now ready for use
