First-time use
Charging the batteries
The first time you use the telephone, it is possible that the
current charging status or the battery symbol is not dis-
played on the handset if it is not inserted into the char-
ging unit.
Charge the batteries for 10 to 14 hours before you
use your handset for the first time.
The charging cycle must be completed before the battery dis-
play is activated.
During this first charging cycle, a solid, flashing battery sym-
bol is displayed on the handset display, regardless of the
actual charging level of the batteries.
The maximum battery capacity is reached after three to five
complete charging and discharging cycles.
Place the handset in the base station/charging unit regular-
ly, in order to achieve an optimum battery charge.
You will know if the first charging cycle has been completed
when you remove the handset from the charging unit via
the following indications:
No charging display / Battery symbol: First charging
cycle not yet complete, but you may already be able to use
the telephone.
Charging display / Battery symbol displayed: First char-
ging cycle is complete. The current battery capacity is indi-
cated by the respective display of the battery symbol.
You can use your BeeTel after charging the batteries for
just 2 to 3, even if the charging status display is not activa-
ted by a complete charging cycle! A battery can be charged
and discharged several hundred times during its service
life.
However, at some point, the battery will be expended. This
is indicated when the operating time (i.e. duration of a call
and readiness of the telephone) becomes significantly shor-
ter than normal. When such a situation arises, it is time to
replace the batteries.
Always replace both batteries together, and always ensure
that batteries with the same capacity are used.
If you replace the batteries in the handset or remove them
and re-insert them, this is equivalent to using your BeeTel
for the first time.
