Setting up the telephone for use

Step 1: Connecting the base

Connect the phone jack with the phone cord

1

and the 

mains units (230 V) with the power cord

2

 as shown. Place the cords in the cord recesses. 

The two cords must 

be plugged in at all times

.

◆

Use 

only the mains unit supplied 

(see the bot-

tom of the base).

◆

If you ever purchase another phone cord from a 

store, ensure that the phone conductors are cor-

rectly connected: 3-4 connection of the telephone 

conductors/EURO CTR37.

Step 2: Setting up the handset

Fitting the battery pack 

◆

Fit the plug into the socket.

◆

Insert the battery (see diagram below).

◆

Place the battery leads in the cable guides.

Closing the battery cover 

Place the cover on the battery compartment as 

shown in the diagram, then push it up until it snaps 

into position.

Opening the battery cover

Press down on the battery cover below its upper 

end and slide the cover down.

Step 3: Registering the handset to the 

base and charging the battery pack

Place your handset in the base with the 

display 

facing forwards

. The handset will now register 

automatically

 to the base. For procedure see 

page 4. 

Charging the battery pack

To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in 

the base for approx. ten hours. The battery pack is 

now fully charged. The charge status of the battery 

pack is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted 

charging/discharging. You should not therefore 

interrupt the charging process.
Charging is electronically controlled to prevent 

overcharging. The battery pack heats up during 

charging; this is normal and not dangerous. After 

a time the charge capacity of the pack will 

decrease for technical reasons. 
You must set the date and time to ensure that the 

times of calls are logged correctly (page 9). Your 

telephone is now ready to use. 

Activating/deactivating the handset

Press the 'end call' key 

a

and hold

. 

If you place a deactivated handset in the base sta-

tion or charger, it will automatically activate.

◆

Place the battery leads in the cable 

guides so that the battery cover cannot 

catch on the leads and damage them 

when it is closed.

◆

Only insert the recommended re-

chargeable 

battery pack

, i.e. never use a 

normal battery pack as this could damage 

your health and cause injury.

◆

Never use non-Siemens battery charg-

ers as this could damage the battery pack.

◆

Only place the handset in the base/

charging cradle that is intended for it.
