does not represent a risk. Use only the adapter plug unit provided for the
charging station. The battery status is shown on the display. When the battery
capacity is nearly exhausted, the battery symbol (

and you will hear the battery warning sound (if the option is switched on) /
menu item “HS SETTINGS/TONE/BATTERY TONE“). You still have up to ten
minutes of talk time.
Setting the time and date on the handset
At initial operation the handset does not have the correct time (e.g. for entries
in the call list). Date and time are set through the menu item “HS SETTINGS/
DATE & TIME“.
Setting the display language
The display language is available in 13 languages. The default setting is “Ger-
man (Deutsch)“. Set the language using the menu item “MT-EINSTEL. /
SPRACHE“.
Auto Answer
If this function is activated, an incoming call is taken when the handset is
removed from the base station. The automatic answering function is activated
and deactivated using the menu item “HS SETTINGS/ AUTO ANSWER“.
