● Use only “AA” rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries. Do not

use Alkaline, Lithium or non-rechargeable batteries.

● Never use non-Siemens charging units as these can damage

the batteries.

Placing Handset into the Base Station and Charging the Batteries

IMPORTANT! Before using your handset, you must register it first.

Turn the handset off by holding down the END key then place it in the base station with the display facing upward toward you. After about one minute, the handset's internal number will appear on the display (for example“INT 1”). Successful registration is signaled by a confirmation beep (crescendo tone sequence).

For information on how to register additional handsets (bought separately), see page 29.

Gigaset 4010 Comfort, CHIN eng, A31008-G4010-

Leave the handset in the base station for about 12–14 hours the first time the batteries are charged. The charging status symbol flashes on the handset, indicating that the batteries are being charged:

Batteries empty (symbol flashes)

Batteries 1/3 charged

● Once the initial charging operation is completed, you can re-

place your handset into the base station or charger after each call. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum charging and prolongs battery life.

● 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.
