Step by step guide to putting into service

Step 4: Insert the batteries into the handset

The handset is powered by two batteries.

Battery compartment cover

Battery compartment with batteries

Hold the handset with the keypad facing downwards.

Insert the batteries into the battery compartment.

Make sure that the +/– battery poles are aligned correctly. The +/– marks on the label in the bat- tery compartment must be aligned with the +/– marks on the batteries.

The handset will not work and may even be damaged if the batteries are incorrectly insert- ed.

Slide the cover of the battery compartment downwards into the grooves on the handset and close the compart- ment. For more information on charging/operating times and battery use, see ➔ page 86.

Step 5: Charge the batteries

To charge the batteries place the handset in the rest on the base station. The charging contacts on the base of the handset must touch the contacts in the base station. It does not matter whether the keypad is facing up or down.

If you have correctly inserted the handset, the LED below the battery symbol on the base station will light up.

You must charge the batteries before you can make any telephone calls or define settings. We recommend that the batteries be charged for 16 hours without interruption, e.g. overnight, for the initial start-up.
