First Steps
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top right of
the display by a flashing battery icon
e
,
V
or

. During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the batteries
(page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed
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 display (approx. 6h).

Once the batteries are fully charged, remove
the handset from the base and do not put it
back again until the batteries are fully dis-
charged.
Please remember:
u
Always repeat the charging and discharging
procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and re-insert them.
u
The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u
After a time the charge capacity of the bat-
teries will decrease for technical reasons.
