Connecting the charging cradle

Instructions on how to connect the charg-
ing cradle and mount it on the wall (if
required) can be found at the end of this
user guide.

To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle.
Please note:

dle that is intended for it.
– If the handset has turned itself off because
the batteries are flat and is then placed in
the charging cradle, it will turn itself on
automatically.
For questions and problems see page 118.
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon e in the top right of the dis-
play indicates that the batteries are being
charged.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat-
teries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be dis-
played 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 battery icon stops flashing in
the display (around 10 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 dis-
charging 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 rea-
sons.
