Placement
Place the base on an even, horizontal surface. The phone should not be placed in damp, dusty or polluted surroundings and should not be directly exposed to liquids or sunlight. Avoid the charging contacts touching metal or greasy parts.
The phone is designed for use in dry, domestic environments only, with temperatures of 0–45°C and relative humidity of 15–95%.
Clean your phone using a soft, damp cloth with a few drops of mild detergent added.
Connection
To be able to use your phone, you must connect it to your telephone line and to the mains as shown. If the mains adaptor is not plugged in, or if the power supply is cut off, your phone will not function. Make alternative arrangements for access to emergency services.

The handset controls battery charging, so you can always place the handset in the base after use, even if the battery does not need recharging. Leaving the handset in the base does not reduce the lifetime of the battery. Should it be necessary to replace the battery, please contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
When the battery requires charging, a message appears on the display, and the handset beeps during calls. To both stop the signal and remove the warning message from the display during a call, press C.
