● Using other battery types or non-rechargeable batter-
ies may cause malfunctions or even damage the
equipment. The manufacturer shall assume no liability
in this case.
When installing and using the rechargeable batteries,
please follow the rules below:
● The handset can be replaced in the rest each time a
call is ended. Charging is controlled electronically.
This ensures optimum and even charging of the bat-
teries.
● Initially charge the batteries thoroughly. We recom-
mend charging the batteries for approximately 16
hours without interruption (overnight for example).
During the first week of operation, continually replace
the handsets in the charging unit for recharging.
● New batteries do not usually reach their full capacity
(i.e. maximum time when the telephone is in use and
stand-by time) until they have been in normal use for
several days. Although the battery LED indicates that
the rechargeable batteries of a handset have been
charged (LED off), you must assume during this initial
phase that the capacity may not reach that of maxi-
mum time when the telephone is in use, or that of
stand-by time.
Once the NiMH rechargeable batteries have
been inserted, the following should be ob-
served to ensure maximum lasting power from
your batteries: once the batteries have been ful-
ly charged for the first time, the handset prema-
turely indicates that the batteries are running
low ( i ). In order to deep discharge the batter-
ies, continue to use the handset until the battery
symbol j appears and the batt. low beep
sounds (caution: max. operating time remaining
is 10 minutes). In this way the handset recognis-
es the extended capacity of the rechargeable
batteries and will in future display the correct
battery charging status.
Opening the battery compartment resets the
display to the capacity of the batteries delivered
with the telephone.
Only use NiMH batteries with the Gigaset 2000S
and 2000C handsets.
These batteries cannot be used with Gigaset
1000S and 1000C handsets!
Never use ordinary batteries.
