Putting the handset into service

Charging and using the battery pack

To charge the battery pack, insert the handset into the charging shell with the keypad facing forwards.

Attention:

Only use the relevant approved power supply units for operating the charging shell (for order numbers see Æ Page 129).

The charging status is indicated by the charge status display. This flashes during charging:

eBattery pack is 33% charged V Battery pack is 66% charged U Battery pack is 100% charged

Note:

Initial charging: Charge the battery pack for at least 10 hours without a break, regardless of the charging status icon. With- out replacing it in the charging shell, use the handset until the "battery low" beep is heard. This action aligns the charge status display with the operating times of the battery pack.

To attain full operating and charging times (Æ Page 18): With- out replacing it in the charging shell, use the handset until the "battery low" beep is heard.

For future charging: you can place your handset in the charging shell each time it is used. Charging is electronically controlled which ensures that the battery pack is charged optimally.
