Placing the handset in the charging cradle

¤Plug the charging cradle mains adapter into a mains power socket.

¤Place the handset in the charging cra- dle with the display facing forward.

To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in the charging cradle.

Notes:

–If the handset has switched itself off because the battery pack is flat and is then placed in the charging cradle, it will switch itself on automatically.

–Only place the handset in the charging cra- dle that is intended for it.

For questions and problems see page 22.

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.

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 battery pack from the handset and insert it again.

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

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

¤ Set the date and the time, for example to ensure the correct time of incoming calls is recorded.

Setting the date and time

The date and time must be set in order to, e.g. have the correct time for incoming calls and be able to use the alarm clock and calendar.

¤If you have not yet set the date and time, press the display key §Time§ to open the input field.
