2.3
Connecting the base station
Connect the base station as illustrated in the dia-

plied. The power adapter plug from the base station
must always be connected to a properly installed
230 V mains power outlet.

Inserting the batteries
Insert two batteries of the type AAA Ni−MH 1.2 V 550 mAh in the bat-
tery compartment after opening it. Pay attention to correct polarity
(refer to Fig.). Close the battery compartment cover.

Charging the batteries
When preparing to use the handset for the first time, place it in the base station (display facing up-
wards) for at least 14 hours. The charging control lamp on the base station lights up. The handset
warms up during the charging process. This is normal and does not represent a risk. Do not
charge the handset with charging units from other manufacturers. Failure to charge the batteries
properly can lead to telephone malfunction.

nections (tone dialling). The equipment is set to Tone dialling mode at the factory. If the telephone
does not work on your telephone connection, refer to Chapter 7.3 to learn how to switch the tele-
phone to analogue, pulse dialling mode.
