Step 3: Place the handset on
the base unit
In order to make calls, you need to register your hand-
set with the base unit (to make it known to it). The fol-
lowing text appears on the display: "*--*--*". Put the
handset on the base unit with the display visible. The
following text appears on the display: "REGISTER HS".
It takes around a minute for the handset to be
registered with the base unit. The idle display (battery
symbol) appears instead of the display "REGISTER
HS".
Step 4: Charge the batteries
Leave the handset on the base unit for around five
hours in order to charge the batteries. A charging
indicator on the handset shows that the batteries are
0
being charged:

After the batteries are charged for the first
time, you can put the handset back on the
base unit again after each call. Charging is
controlled electronically. This ensures that
the batteries are charged optimally and
economically.
The batteries become warm during charg-
ing; this is normal and not dangerous.
The charging status of the batteries is only
displayed correctly after an uninterrupted
charging/discharging process. You should
therefore avoid opening the battery
compartment unnecessarily.
