Closing the battery cover
¤Hold the battery cover at a slight angle
and introduce the two lower lugs into
the casing first. Then close the cover so
that it clicks into place.
Locking the battery cover
Insert the catches on the lock ring or belt
clip into the notches in the casing and
make sure that the arrow markings on the
casing are facing those on the bottom of
the ring. Turn the lock ring or belt clip
clockwise to the end stop. When both
holes are horizontally aligned with the
upper edge of the handset the lock ring is
closed.
Opening the battery cover
Position both thumbs on the lock ring and
at the same time turn the lock ring or belt
clip anticlockwise and remove.
¤Insert a coin into the cavity at the top of
the battery cover and twist it until the
cover opens.
Placing the handset in the charging
cradle
¤Plug the charging cradle mains adapter
into a mains power socket.
¤Place the handset in the charger with
the display facing forward.
The handset is already registered with the
base station at the factory. INT 1 appears in
the display. You do not have to re-register.
If, nonetheless, you have to register your
handset with the base station, please see
page 37.
Leave the handset in the charging cradle
to charge the battery pack.
For questions and problems see page 48.
Notes:
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the battery pack is flat and is then
placed in the charging cradle, it will switch
itself on automatically.
– The handset must only be placed in the
designated charging cradle.

headset (with jack connector): HAMA
Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.
If you do not connect a headset, please
insert the cover supplied for the headset
socket to guarantee the unit is still splash
proof.
Initial charging and discharging of the
battery pack
If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon ein the top right of the dis-
play indicates that the battery pack is
being charged.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat-
tery pack (page 1). The correct charge sta-
tus can only be displayed if the battery
pack is first fully charged and discharged.
¤To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤Afterwards, remove the handset from
the charging cradle and do not put it
back again until the battery pack is fully
discharged.
Please remember:
uAlways repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
battery pack from the handset and
insert it again.
uThe battery pack may warm up as it is
charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a time the charge capacity of the
battery pack will decrease for technical
reasons.
Your answering machine is set with a
standard announcement.
¤Set the date and the time, for example
to ensure the correct time of incoming
calls is recorded.
