3.2. Charge battery
To be able to turn on and use your DECT telephone, the battery must be charged.
When the telephone is shipped from the factory, the battery is inserted in the battery
compartment, connected and pre-charged.
New batteries must be continuously charged for a duration of 3.5 hours before they are
used, since they are shipped discharged.
The battery cannot be overcharged. The telephone switches off the charging process
when the battery is full.
Note:
Ensure that the battery is charged only within a temperature range of 5 to 25°C.
Charging the battery at temperatures outside this range can affect the charging
process adversely.
Charge the battery as follows:
1. Connect the plug of the mains adapter to the charging tray.
2. Plug the mains adapter into your mains supply socket.
3. Place the DECT telephone in the charging tray.
Once you have placed the telephone on the charging tray, a bar indicates your battery’s
capacity. You can find out your battery’s capacity at any time in the “Battery” menu.
Note:
The light diode flashes slowly to indicate that the battery is being charged. When the
light diode is constantly lit, the battery is full.
3.3. Switch on DECT telephone
Before you can switch on the telephone, the battery must be charged
(see chapter 3.2.). Switch on the handset as follows:
1. Take the DECT telephone from the charging tray.
2. Press and hold down the Handset key
for approximately one second.
If the DECT telephone is within range of the base station, the
symbol appears to
indicate that the telephone is ready for operation.
If the telephone is out of range of the base station, the
symbol is not displayed and
you cannot phone. Once the handset is again within range of the base station, the
symbol is displayed after approximately 30 seconds.
