Important notes on putting into service and operation

Once the NiMH rechargeable batteries have been inserted, the following should be ob- served to ensure maximum lasting power from your batteries: once the batteries have been ful- ly charged for the first time, the handset prema- turely indicates that the batteries are running low (i). In order to deep discharge the batter- ies, continue to use the handset until the battery symbol jappears and the batt. low beep sounds (caution: max. operating time remaining is 10 minutes). In this way the handset recognis- es the extended capacity of the rechargeable batteries and will in future display the correct battery charging status.

Opening the battery compartment resets the display to the capacity of the batteries delivered with the telephone.

Only use NiMH batteries with the Gigaset 2000S and 2000C handsets.

These batteries cannot be used with Gigaset 1000S and 1000C handsets!

Using other battery types or non-rechargeable batter- ies may cause malfunctions or even damage the equipment. The manufacturer shall assume no liability in this case.

Never use ordinary batteries.

When installing and using the rechargeable batteries, please follow the rules below:

The handset can be replaced in the rest each time a call is ended. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum and even charging of the bat- teries.

Initially charge the batteries thoroughly. We recom- mend charging the batteries for approximately 16 hours without interruption (overnight for example). During the first week of operation, continually replace the handsets in the charging unit for recharging.

New batteries do not usually reach their full capacity (i.e. maximum time when the telephone is in use and stand-by time) until they have been in normal use for several days. Although the battery LED indicates that the rechargeable batteries of a handset have been charged (LED off), you must assume during this initial phase that the capacity may not reach that of maxi- mum time when the telephone is in use, or that of stand-by time.
