12 Getting started
If the handset does not turn on automatically, remove the power adapter plug
from the wall socket and repeat from step 9. If that does not help, please refer
to “Subscribing handsets” on page 91.
When the battery is charged, the handset is ready for use. For more informa-
tion about charging the battery, please refer to “Battery” below.
Important
It is important to make a note of the IPEI code. You may need it to reset the
handset’s PIN code. Please refer to “Showing the IPEI code” on page 77 for
further details.
Note We also recommend that you change the pin code of the base station
directly after installing the cordless phone. See “Changing the base station
PIN code” on page 76 for more information. See also “Overview PIN and
other codes” on page 78 for the PIN code of the handset and of the base
station.
Operating range
You can use your handset in the area that is covered by the base station. Out-
side this area, you lose contact with the base station and the signal strength
indicator on the display disappears. The warning light flashes and you hear
short, fast, warning beeps.
To make best use of the operating range, place your base station in a central
position.
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery. You can fully charge a flat
battery by placing the handset in the base station for 3 hours. A fully charged
battery gives you up to 15 hours of calling time or up to 100 hours of standby
time. The handset has a battery meter, which indicates you how much power is
left in the battery.
Note The handset is powered by a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. It
can be recharged at any time. To keep the battery fully charged, you can put or
leave the handset in the base station without any problem.
