To charge the batteries, leave the hand-

its batteries are empty, and you then place
the handset into the charging cradle, it will
turn on automatically.
– Only place the handset into the base sta-
tion or charging cradle specifically
intended for it.
– During handset operation, the battery icon

indicates the charge status of the bat-
teries (page 1).
– The batteries may feel warm as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
