Initial charging and discharging of the
batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon 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 batter
-
ies.
The correct charging level can only be displayed if the
batteries are first fully charged and discharged.
¤ Place the handset in the charging cradle for fif-
teen hours.
¤ Then remove the handset from the charging cra-
dle and do not replace it until the batteries are
completely discharged.
Activating/deactivating the handset
¤ Press and hold the a key to activate or deacti-
vate the handset.
If you place a deactivated handset in the base station
or charging cradle, it will automatically activate.
Handset out of range
If the handset is out of range of the base station/
charger the antenna icon
Ò will flash on the display.
If the signal becomes poor during a call the earpiece
will briefly intermit voice transmission by emitting an
out of range warning tone. In this case you should
reduce the distance to the base station. If the signal
becomes too low the line is disconnected.
Setting the date and time
Set the date and time so that the correct date and
time can be assigned to incoming calls and the alarm
can be used.
