2 Starting Up
2.1 Safety information
Caution: It is essential to read the Safety Information in Chapter 1 before starting up.
2.2 Checking the contents of the package
The package contains:
a base station with power adapter plug
a telephone connection cable
two handsets four rechargeable batteries
a charging station with power adapter plug an operating manual
2.3 Connecting the base station
Position the base station within reach of the telephone line socket and a power outlet. Only
use the components supplied.
1. Insert the small plug on the power adapter plug cable in the corresponding socket
on the underside of the base station.
The plug cannot be connected incorrectly because the plug and socket are
designed in such a way to prevent reverse poling. The plugs must snap audibly into
the base station sockets.
2. Insert the small plug on the telephone connection cable in the corresponding socket
on the underside of the base station.
3. Feed both cables on the underside of the base station in the cable duct provided.
4. Plug the power adapter plug in a properly installed 230 Volt power outlet.
The power adapter plug from the base station must remain connected at all times.
5. Connect the telephone connection cable supplied in the telephone line socket.
2.4 Connecting the charging station
Connect the charging station as illustrated
in the diagram. For reasons of safety, only
use the power adapter plug supplied.
2.5 Inserting the batteries
Insert two batteries of the type AAA Ni−MH 1.2 V in the bat-
tery compartment after opening it. Pay attention to correct
polarity (refer to Fig.)! Close the battery compartment co-
ver.
Important: Do not use any other type of batteries.
2.6 Charging the batteries
When preparing to use the handset for the first time, place it in the base station (display facing up-
wards) for at least 14 hours. The charging control lamp on the base station lights up. The handset
warms up during the charging process. This is normal and does not represent a risk. Do not
charge the handset with charging units from other manufacturers. Failure to charge the batteries
properly can lead to telephone malfunction.
The current battery charge status is indicated in the display:
Full Half empty Low Empty
2.7 Tone or Pulse dialling mode
The telephone can be connected to both analogue connections (pulse dialling) and digital con-
nections (tone dialling). The equipment is set to Tone dialling mode at the factory. If the telephone
does not work on your telephone connection, refer to Chapter 7.3 to learn how to switch the tele-
phone to analogue, pulse dialling mode.
2.8 Operating on private branch exchanges
If your telephone is connected to a private branch exchange, the R button can be used to imple-
ment the transfer calls or automatic callback functions. The dealer where you purchased the ex-
change can provide information as to whether the telephone will work properly with the exchange.
