Putting the handset into service
Charging and using the battery
To charge the battery, insert the handset into the charging shell with the keypad
facing forwards.
The charging status is indicated by the charge status LED.
Inserting the dummy plug or connector
Insert the dummy connector (1) / connector with cord (2) into the recess provid-
ed. Make sure the dummy connector is positioned correctly.
If you do not require the man down alarm function on the OpenStage M3 Plus or
OpenStage M3 Ex Plus you can also use the connector without a cord as a dum-
my connector.
Attention:
Only place the handset in the designated charger. (For order numbers
see

• Initial charging: Charge the battery for at least 10 hours without a
break, regardless of the charging status icon.
• For future charging: you can replace your handset in the charging shell
each time it has been used. Charging is electronically controlled which
ensures that the battery is charged optimally.
• The capacity of the Ex battery pack can diminish due to ageing to the
extent that it is no longer sufficient (increasingly faster discharge) for
the intended operating life. The Ex battery pack must then be replaced
by appropriately trained service personnel.
Regardless of whether or not a cord is used, the handset can be placed
with the connector inserted in the charger. Run the cord out from the front
of the charger.
