If a mobile phone that is switched off is placed in the
charging shell, it will switch on.
If the PIN is still the same as the factory default (0000),
the phone is ready for operation.
If the PIN is not the same as the factory default, the PIN

operation.

The radio range is different indoors and outdoors
(Æ page 97). Please consult your system administrator
in the event of range problems.
Note:
• The handset can only be fully switched off
when removed from the charging shell.
• After switching off a mobile phone, place it in
the charging shell; with PIN "0000" it will
switch on immediately and is ready for ope-
ration. If the PIN is not "0000", you must first
enter the PIN. Only then is the mobile phone
ready for operation.
• When a handset that is ready for operation is
placed in the charging shell it goes to idle sta-
tus and shows the idle display.
