Setting up the Charger Cradle
Your telephone was designed for normal operating conditions. These days, furniture is coated with a
large range of different paints and synthetics, and then treated with various polishes. It is possible
that some of these substances may contain components which damage the rubber feet on the
charger cradle. In this situation, the feet may leave unsightly marks on the surface of furniture.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage of this nature. For this reason you should
place your charger cradle on a nonslip base, especially in the case of new or polished furniture.
Note
• Please note the following:
The 120 V electrical outlet must be within range of the connector cable supplied (9 ft).
• Do not locate the charger cradle where it could be damaged when a door or window is opened.
Overview
Softkeys - the function allocated to each key is shown in the display. The key
function changes automatically according to the respective operating state of
the handset. If a function only permits you to switch between two options,
these are allocated to the left and right softkeys. If more than two options are
available, then the
softkey will appear.
When your phone is in the idle state, the arrow key
opens the telephone
book. In this case, the arrow key
has no function.
When a menu or list is displayed, the arrow keys move the cursor to the desired
entry.

Press this key briefly while your phone is in the idle state to open the info menu
(caller list, redialing, telephone book, voice box).

voice mailbox).
The C-key is used to delete erroneous input when you are making an entry. A
long press on this key in the idle state switches your handset on/off.
