Setting up the handset for use

The display is protected by a plastic film. Remove the protective plastic film!
Remove the coloured label from the bag containing the batteries and stick it

to the top of the handset (see illustration on page 1).

Inserting the batteries

◆ To open the battery compartment, press the clip on the compartment

cover inwards and lift off the cover.

◆ Insert the batteries ensuring correct polarity (see figure on left).

◆ To close, replace the battery compartment cover as shown and then close

it until it locks into place.

◆ Only insert rechargeable batteries of the same type, as

recommended by Siemens on see page 14, i. e. Never use

i

ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries as they may pose a
health hazard or cause injury.

◆ Do not use a non-Siemens charging unit as this could damage

the batteries.

Registering the handset on the base

In order for you to be able to make calls, you must register the handset on the
base.

The display shows "*--*--*". Now place the handset on the base with the

display facing forwards, the display shows
minute the handset is registered on the base. The idle display is shown (only

battery symbol and the internal number of the handset in the top left).
If "automatic registration" has not been successful after approx. 1 minute, it is
necessary to either remove the handset from the base for approx. 5 seconds
and then replace it or to register the handset manually (see page 10).

Charging batteries

Leave the handset in the base for approx. five hours to charge the batteries.
Your unit is now ready to use and you can make calls.

After initial charging, you can return your handset to the base after every call.
Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum battery charging
without overloading. The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal
and not dangerous. The battery charging status is correctly displayed only
after uninterrupted charging/discharging. You should therefore avoid opening
the battery compartment unnecessarily. The battery charge capacity
decreases after a few years for technical reasons some time.
