First steps
Placing the handset in the charging
cradle
¤
Plug the charging cradle mains adapter
into a mains power socket.
¤
Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle with the display facing forward.
To charge the battery pack, leave the
handset in the charging cradle.
Notes:
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the battery pack is flat and is then
placed in the charging cradle, it will switch
itself on automatically.
– Only place the handset in the charging cra-
dle that is intended for it.
For questions and problems see page 25.
Initial charging and discharging of the
battery pack
If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon e in the top right of the dis-
play indicates that the battery pack is
being charged.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat-
tery pack (page 1). The correct charge sta-
tus can only be displayed if the battery
pack is first fully charged and discharged.
¤
To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤
Afterwards, remove the handset from
the charging cradle and do not put it
back again until the battery pack is fully
discharged.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge,
you may replace your handset in the charging
cradle after every call.
Please note:
u
Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
battery pack from the handset and
insert it again.
