be assigned the lowest unassigned inter-
nal number (1–6).
This will appear in the display when regis-
tration is complete, e.g.
that the number 1 has been assigned. If
the internal numbers 1–6 are already
assigned to other units, the number 6 is
overwritten.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is only possible
while no-one is making calls using the base
station.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work,
you will have to register the handset manu-
ally.
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 28).
To charge the batteries, leave the handset
in the charging cradle.
Notes:
– When the handset is in the base station, it
charges even if it is switched off.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and is then
placed in the cradle, it will switch itself on
automatically.
– The handset must only be placed in the
designated base station.

Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
If the handset is activated, the battery
charging process is indicated on the hand-
set by the flashing battery icon e.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat-
teries (page 1). The correct charge status
can only be displayed if the batteries are
first fully charged and discharged.
¤
To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle uninterrupted for 10
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤
Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the cradle
and do not put it back again until the
batteries are fully discharged.
Note:
After the initial 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 time the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical rea-
sons.
Your phone is now ready for use.
