Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack

If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon ein the top right of the display indicates that the battery pack is being charged.

During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the battery pack (page 1). The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery pack is first fully charged and discharged.

¤To do this, leave the handset in the charging cradle continuously for ten hours. Your handset need not be switched on for it to charge.

¤Afterwards, remove the handset from the charging cradle and do not put it back again until the battery pack is fully discharged.

Please note:

After the first battery charge and discharge, you may place your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Please note:

uAlways repeat the charging and dis- charging procedure if you remove the battery pack from the handset and insert it again.

uThe battery pack may warm up as it is charging. This is not dangerous.

uAfter a time the charge capacity of the battery pack will decrease for technical reasons.
