Placing the handset in the base and
registering it
¤
Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base unit with its
display fac-
ing forward
.
The handset registers automatically.
Registration takes about 1 minute.
While this is happening,
Registering
appears in the display and the name of the
base,
Base 1
, flashes. The handset is given
the lowest available internal number
(1–6). When the handset has registered,
this number appears in the display,
e.g.
INT 1
. This means that the handset
has been allocated the first internal
number. If all internal numbers 1–6 have
been assigned (six handsets are registered
on a base), the number 6 is overwritten if
that handset is in idle status.
¤
Leave the handset in the charging cra-
dle in the base to charge up the batter-
ies.
If you have any questions or problems see
First battery charge and discharge
Battery charging is indicated in the top
right of the display by a flashing battery
icon
e
,
V
or
U
. During handset oper-
ation, the battery icon indicates the
charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be dis-
played when the batteries are first fully
charged
and
discharged through use.
¤
To do this, leave the handset in the
base
without interruption
until the
battery icon stops flashing in the dis-
play (approx. 6h). Your handset need
not be switched on for it to charge.
¤
Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the base and
do not put it back again until the batter-
ies are fully discharged.
Please note:
u
Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.
u
The batteries may warm up while they
are charging. This is not dangerous.
Note:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base on which you wish to register the
handset is being used to make a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
– The name of the handset can be changed

Note:
– The handset may only be placed in the base
provided for it.
– When the handset is in the base, it charges
even if it is switched off. You will see the
charge status in the display.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and if it is
then placed in the base, it will switch itself
on automatically.
Note:
After the first battery charge
and
discharge
you may replace your handset in its base after
every call.
