Once the batteries have been charged, your phone is ready for service. You need to set
the date and time to ensure that the time of incoming calls can be noted correctly
(page 13).
For the first charging we recommend a continuous charging time as
N
shown in the table (page 46) – regardless of the charging status
shown in the display! Battery capacity reduces for technical reasons
after a period of time.
The batteries warm up during charging - this is normal and not a cause
N
for concern.

The correct charging status for the batteries will only be shown after
N
an unbroken charging/discharging cycle. You should therefore not
open the battery compartment unnecessarily.
Once the first charging cycle is completed you can put your handset
N
back in the base station after each call. Charging is controlled elec-
tronically. This ensures optimum battery charging without overload-
ing.

Switching the handset on and off

To switch the handset on or off, press the end call key
Afterwards the confirmation tone rings (see page 10).
If you place a handset that is switched off in the base station or a charging
i
unit, it will automatically switch itself on.

Activating/deactivating keypad protection

You can lock the handset keypad if, for example, you are carrying the handset. This pre-
vents keys beeing pressed by accident.
The key lock switches itself off automatically if you receive a call. At
N
i
the end of the call it switches itself on again.
Emergency numbers cannot be dialled if the key lock is activated!
