Installing The Base Station; Connecting The Base Station - Gigaset C450 IP User Manual

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.
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
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.
u
The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u
After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical rea-
sons.
Note:
You will find explanations for the symbols and
typographical conventions used in this user
guide in the appendix, page 53.
