Registering the handset with the base station and charging
the batteries
Place your handset in the base station with the
display visible at the front
. The handset
will then register itself with the base station automatically, all symbols will flash in the
display. The process takes about a minute. Once this is completed, the confirmation
tone rings (rising sequence of tones) and
"1"
will appear in the top left-hand corner of
the display. This indicates that the handset has been allocated the first internal number.
Leave the handset in the base station for the batteries to charge – the batteries are
supplied uncharged. The battery charging process is indicated on the handset by a
flashing battery symbol

.
Once the batteries have been charged, your phone is ready for service. You need to set
the date and time to ensure that the time of incoming calls can be noted correctly

We recommend initially charging the batteries without interruption for the amount
of time listed in the table (page 25) – irrespective of the charging status icon! After
a while the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.

Once the first charging cycle is completed you can put your handset back in the base
station after each call. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum
battery charging without overloading.
The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.
