Note:
An audible acknowledgement tone at the
start of the battery charging process sig-
nals that the handset is correctly positioned
on the base station. When done so the
green LED starts to flash. If the battery cells
are completely empty, the audible acknowl-
edgement tone will be heard only once the
battery cells have received a minimum
charge.
When the battery cells are first inserted,
the battery status is unclear. A correct indi-
cation is obtained only after a complete
charging cycle.
Do not use batteries/primary cells,
only NiCd or NiMH battery cells.
Do not place the handset on the base sta-
tion if the battery cells have not been fitted.
Please observe the following to obtain
a long service life for your battery cells:
– Battery cells have to be charged
without interrupted for at least 6
hours for NiCd and 12 hours for NiMH
respectively prior to the initial commis-
sioning.
– Make sure the charging contacts do
not come into contact with metallic or
greasy parts.
– After long periods out of operation
with the power switched off (e.g.
during holidays), charge the handset
(the battery cells) before putting the
set back into operation.
– Please dispose of defective battery
cells in the correct way (not in
domestic waste).
– Only remove the battery cells from the
handset to replace them with new
ones.
– Do not charge the battery cells out of
the handset.
Charging the battery cells
The battery cells are not charged when
supplied. To charge the batteries, you need
to place the handset on to the base sta-
tion. An audible acknowledgement signal
indicates that the handset is correctly fitted.
A set of NiCd battery cells (250 mAh) is
enough for approx. 80 hours "standby"
and approx. 6 hours "talk time".
The charging time takes approx. 6 hours.
A set of NiMH battery cells (550 mAh) is
enough for approx. 160 hours "standby"
and approx. 12 hours "talk time".
The charging time takes approx. 12 hours.
The "Basic Settings" section on page 14 de-
scribes how you can select the battery type.
Please note:
Make sure you select the correct battery
type so that the battery cells are not un-
der- or overcharged (see page 14).
The batteries may be damaged if the hand-
set is programmed to the wrong battery type.
