display and the name of the base,

,
flashes. The handset is given the lowest
available internal number (1–6). When
the handset has registered, this number
appears in the display, e.g.
INT 1
. This
means that the handset has been allo-
cated the first internal number. If all inter-
nal numbers 1–6 have been assigned (six
handsets are registered on a base), the
number 6 is overwritten if that handset is
in idle status.

Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recom-
mended by Siemens on page 36! Under no cir-
cumstances should you use a conventional
(non rechargeable) battery or other battery
types as this could cause significant damage to
health and property, e.g. the outer casing of
the batteries could be destroyed or the batter-
ies could explode. The phone could also mal-
function or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended
type.
