Setting up the handset for use
Initial charging and discharging of batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon e in the top right of the display indi-
cates that the batteries are being charged.
During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the batteries
(page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed if the batteries are first fully charged and
discharged through use.
¤
To do this, leave the handset in the charging cradle without interruption until the bat-
tery icon stops flashing in the display (around 5 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 place your handset in the charging cradle after
every call.
Please note:
u
Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and reinsert them.
u
The batteries may warm up during charging. This is not dangerous.
u
After a while the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
