Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing 
battery icon 
e in the top right of the
display indicates that the batteries are 
being charged. 
During handset operation, the battery icon 
indicates the charge status of the 
batteries (page 1). The correct charge 
level can only be displayed if the batteries 
are first fully charged and discharged.

To do this, leave the handset in the 
base or charging cradle continuously 
for ten hours. Your handset need not 
be switched on for it to charge. 
¤
Afterwards, remove the handset from 
the base station and do not put it back 
again until the batteries are fully 
discharged. 
Notes:
– Automatic registration is only possible
while no-one is making calls using the base 
station. 
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually 
(page 33).
– You can change the name of the handset
Notes:
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and is then 
placed in the base station, it will switch 
itself on automatically.
– Only place the handset in the base or
charging cradle that is intended for it.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge 
you may replace your handset in its base after 
every call.
