First Steps

Setting up the handset for use

The display is protected by a plastic film.
Please remove the protective film!
Inserting the batteries
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-
mended by Siemens on page 30! This means
that you must never use conventional (non-
rechargeable) or other battery types as this
could result in significant health risks and
damage to property. For example, the outer
casing of the batteries could be destroyed or
the batteries could explode. The phone could
also malfunction or be damaged as a result of
using batteries that are not of the recom-
mended type.
¤
Insert the batteries the right way round
(see figure).
The polarity is indicated in the battery
compartment.
The handset switches on automatically.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Closing the battery cover
¤
Place the cover on the battery compart-
ment as shown in the diagram, then
push it up until it clicks into position.
Opening the battery cover
¤
Press down on the battery cover below
its upper end and slide the cover down.

Connecting the charging cradle
Connecting the charging cradle and
mounting it on the wall (if required) is
described at the end of this user guide.
¤
To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle.
Please note:
– Only place the handset in the charging cra-
dle that is intended for it.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and if it is
then placed in the charging cradle, it will
switch itself on automatically.
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.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge,
you may replace your handset in the charging
cradle after every call.
