First Steps
Initial charging and discharging of batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top right of the display by a flashing battery icon e, Vor U. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed when 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 (approx. 13 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.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge, you may replace your handset in the charging cradle after every call.
Please note:
uAlways repeat the charging and dis- charging procedure if you remove the batteries from the handset and insert them in again.
uThe batteries may warm up as they are charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a while the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical rea- sons.
