Charge Display

The charge status of the batteries is indicated on the display:

ƒbatteries are 81 - 100% charged

„batteries are 61 - 80% charged

√batteries are 41 - 60% charged

…batteries are 21 - 40% charged

†batteries are 0 - 20% charged

†(frame flashes) batteries are almost empty; a warning has been given.

Your handset has a battery management system which has to ascertain the limits of the battery charge status first before it can output the correct status to the display.

When you insert the batteries for the first time, the charge status will not be displayed correctly until they have been completely discharged and then completely recharged.

When the handset is placed in the charger cradle, the flashing or lit segments indicate the charging process or charge status respectively.

Charge Warning

When the batteries' capacity is almost exhausted, the battery icon in the display will flash, and an acoustic warning is given in the form of three short “beep” signals every minute. If you are making a call, you have approximately five minutes' talk time left before the handset switches itself off.

Use only rechargeable NiMH batteries. Never use normal, nonrechargeable batteries or fuel cells . Please refer to the important notes on using the rechargeable batteries mentioned in the appendix of the User Guide available on our website or product-CD.

Note

You can replace your handset in the charger cradle after every call if you wish. The charging process is electronically regulated so that the batteries are always optimally recharged, whatever their charge level at the time. Do not remove the batteries from the handset unless there is a good reason for doing so. Removing the batteries interrupts the optimized recharging process.

The capacity of the batteries can be increased by discharging them completely in the handset when they have been in use for a long period and then fully recharging them again.

Installation

Registering Your Handset

Your handset can be operated on up to ten different communications systems. To do so, it has to be registered to each system.

Your system administrator will register the handset for operation on a communications system with OpenMobilityManager.

If you want to register your handset on any other communications system, please refer to the rele- vant documentation. If you want to register the handset on a base station complying with the GAP standard, please activate the “GAP only” feature in the “System > Subscriptions” menu (see User Guide available on our website or product-CD). In this setting, only GAP-compatible features are available. When the handset is operated on a communications system with OpenMobilityManager (OMM), this feature must not be activated.
