The idle screen is displayed. The
handset name and the internal
handset number are shown. The
handset is already registered to
the base.
If you want to register further
handsets, you have to register
each individual handset manually (¢page 10).
Handsets are assigned the lowest available internal
number (1-4). If four handsets are registered you will
have to deregister one handset before you can regis-
ter another.
Initial charging and discharging of the
batteries
If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon in
the top right of the display indicates that the batteries
are being charged. During handset operation, the
battery icon indicates the charge status of the batter-
ies.
The correct charging level can only be displayed if the
batteries are first fully charged and discharged.
¤Place the handset in the charging cradle for at
least twenty hours.
¤Then remove the handset from the charging cra-
dle and do not replace it until the batteries are
completely discharged.
Activating/deactivating the handset
¤Press and hold the akey to activate or deacti-
vate the handset.
If you place a deactivated handset in the base station
or charging cradle, it will automatically activate.
Handset out of range
If the handset is out of range of the base station the
antenna icon Òwill flash on the display. If the signal
becomes poor during a call the earpiece will briefly
intermit voice transmission by emitting an out of
range warning tone. In this case you should reduce
the distance to the base station. If the signal becomes
too low the line is disconnected.
Setting the date and time
Set the date and time on the base station so that the
correct date and time can be assigned to incoming
calls and the alarm can be used. The date and time is
synchronised with all registered handsets.
