Step 4: Inserting the batteries into the handset
The handset is powered by two batteries.
Hold the handset with the keypad side facing down.
Slot the batteries into the battery compartment.
Slide the cover of the battery compartment from above
into the grooves in the handset and close the compart-
ment.
Step 5: Charging the batteries
To charge the batteries, place the handset in the handset
rest on the base station. The charging contacts on the bot-
tom of the handset must come into contact with the bot-
tom of the base station and its charging contacts. It does
not matter whether the keypad is facing up or down.
If you have correctly inserted the mobile unit for charging,
the LED under the battery symbol on the base station will
light up.

Make sure that the +/– battery poles are aligned
correctly. The +/– marks on the plate must be
aligned with the +/– marks on the batteries.
The handset will not work if the batteries are in-
correctly inserted and it may be damaged.
You must charge the batteries before you can
make any calls or settings. We recommend that
the batteries be charged for 16 hours without in-
terruption, e.g. overnight, for the initial startup.
