The two cords must be plugged in at all times.

Use only the mains unit supplied (see the bot-
tom of the base).
◆
If you ever purchase another phone cord from a
store, ensure that the phone conductors are cor-
rectly connected: 3-4 connection of the telephone
conductors/EURO CTR37.

Step 3: Registering the handset to the
base and charging the battery pack
Place your handset in the base with the display
facing forwards. The handset will now register
automatically to the base. For procedure see
page 5.
Charging the battery pack
To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in
the base for approx. ten hours. The battery pack is
now fully charged. The charge status of the battery
pack is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted
charging/discharging. Therefore you should not
interrupt the charging process.
Charging is electronically controlled to prevent
overcharging. The battery pack heats up during
charging; this is normal and not dangerous. After
a time the charge capacity of the pack will
decrease for technical reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the
times of calls are logged correctly (page 10). Your
telephone is now ready to use.
