If you remove and replace the battery from the handset, you need to fully discharge and then fully charge the
battery so that the battery indicator is accurate.
Charge the battery with the handset charger provided. If you use another method, you can damage the battery,
the handset, or your surrounding area.
Caution
Only charge the battery in environments where the temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
Do not charge the battery in hazardous environments or where there is explosion danger.
Caution
When you place the handset into the charger, it turns on (if not already on) and displays a message that the
handset is charging. The handset screen dims and turns off at the configured time.
If the LED on the handset starts to flash, the handset is updating its firmware.
Before you begin
Set up the cradle as described in
Set Up the Charging Cradle, on page 21
Ensure that your handset charger is plugged into the electrical outlet.
Procedure
Place the handset in the charger so that the contacts in the handset and the contacts in the charger match.
The handset screen should turn on and display a message that the handset is charging. If this doesn't happen,
remove the handset from the charger and try again.
Automatic Handset Configuration
In many cases, when you first power on the handset, it will automatically configure itself to communicate
with the base station. If your handset doesn't automatically configure, you have to manually configure it, using
information provided by your administrator.
Manual Handset Configuration
Sometimes you have to manually configure your handset. Your administrator will give you the information
you need to access the base station web pages, access appropriate web pages, and set various fields.
You can find the manual configuration instructions in the
