Setting up the telephone for use

Placing the handset in the base station
and registering it

¤ Place the handset in the base station

with its display facing forward.

The handset registers automatically. Reg­istration takes around 1 minute. During
this process Regstr.Procedure appears in
the display and the name of the base sta­tion flashes e.g. Base 1. The handset will
be assigned the lowest unassigned inter­nal number (1–4).

This will appear in the display when regis­tration is complete, e.g. INT 1. This means
that the number 1 has been assigned. If
the internal numbers 1–4 are already
assigned to other units, the number 4 is
overwritten.

Notes:

– Automatic registration is only possible

while no-one is making calls using the base
station.

– Each key press interrupts the automatic

registration.

– If automatic registration does not work,

you will have to register the handset manu­ally.

– You can change the name of the handset

(page 24).

To charge the batteries, leave the handset
in the charging cradle.

Notes:

– When the handset is in the base station, it

charges even if it is switched off.

– If the handset has switched itself off

because the batteries are flat and is then
placed in the cradle, it will switch itself on
automatically.

– The handset must only be placed in the

designated base station.

For questions and problems see page 36..

Initial charging and discharging of
batteries

If the handset is activated, the battery
charging process is indicated on the hand­set by the flashing battery icon e.

During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the bat­teries (page 1). The correct charge status
can only be displayed if the batteries are
first fully charged and discharged.

¤ To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle uninterrupted for 10
hours. Your handset doesn’t need to be
switched on for charging.

¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,

remove the handset from the cradle
and do not put it back again until the
batteries are fully discharged.

Note:

After the initial charge and discharge you may
replace your handset in the charging cradle
after every call.

Please note:

u Always repeat the charging and dis-

charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.

u The batteries may warm up as they are

charging. This is not dangerous.

u After a time the charge capacity of the

batteries will decrease for technical rea­sons.

Your phone is now ready for use.

¤ Set the date and the time (page 8), for

example to ensure the correct time of

incoming calls is recorded.

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches on the side of the hand­set side at approximately the same height
as the display for attaching the belt clip.

¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the

handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip click into the notches.

The belt clip's clasp must be pointing
towards the battery compartment.

Using a handset as a
room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previ­ously stored destination number is called
as soon as a set noise level is reached. You
can store an internal or external number
in your handset as the destination
number.

The room monitor call to an external
number stops after approx. 90 seconds.
The room monitor call to an internal
number (handset) stops after approx.
3 minutes (depending on the base sta­tion). While the room monitor is activated,
all keys are locked except the end call key.
The handset's speaker is muted.

When the room monitor is activated,
incoming calls to the handset are indi­cated without a ringtone and are only
shown on the screen. The display and key­pad are not illuminated and advisory
tones are also turned off.

If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor mode is suspended for the dura­tion of the call, but the function remains
activated.

If you switch off the handset, the room
monitor mode is deactivated. You must
reactivate the function after switching on
the handset again.

Caution!

– You should always check the operation

of the room monitor before use. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the room
monitor to an outside number.

– The active room monitor function consider-

ably reduces the operating time of the
handset. Place the handset in the charging
cradle if necessary. This ensures that the
battery does not run down.

– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1

to 2 metres away from the baby. The micro­phone must be directed towards the baby.

– The connection to which the room monitor

is diverted must not be blocked by an acti­vated answering machine.
