Inserting the batteries
The battery compartment is located on the rear side of the
handset. Open the battery compartment and insert the two re-
chargeable batteries of the type AAA NiMH, 1.2 V 500 mAh. Pay
attention to the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.
Charging the batteries
Before the handset is used for the first time, in-
sert it in the base/charging station for
at least
8 hours.
When the handset is inserted in the base/charging station
properly, you will hear a confirmation signal. 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. The current
battery
