Connecting the charging cradle

Connecting up 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.

For questions and problems see page 69.

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.

Please note:

Always repeat the charging and dis-

charging procedure if you remove the

batteries from the handset and insert

them in again.

The batteries may warm up as they are

charging. This is not dangerous.

After a while the charge capacity of the

batteries will decrease for technical rea-

sons.

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.

Please note:

You will find explanations for the symbols and

typographical conventions used in this user
