Charging and using the Ex battery pack
To charge the Ex battery pack, place the handset in the
charging unit with the keypad facing forwards.
●
The battery is supplied partially charged. Charge the bat-
tery before using it for the first time until the charging light
extinguishes (<3h). Full battery capacity is only reached
following a number of charging cycles.
Depending on the technology, the battery capacity dimin-
ishes after several charging cycles.
When the battery is fully discharged (battery low warning
tone), the charge status indicator adapts to the actual bat-
tery capacity.
●
For future charging – you can replace your handset in the
charging unit each time it has been used. Charging is
electronically controlled which ensures that the Ex battery
pack is charged optimally.
●
The Ex battery pack should be replaced by appropriately
trained service personnel:
– Due to ageing: the capacity of the Ex battery pack can
diminish to the extent that it is no longer sufficient
(increasingly faster discharge) for the intended operat-
ing life.
– If there is a noticeable change in the battery (appears
thickened, damaged by a fall, etc.)
– If used in other devices or unsuitable chargers.
The charging status is indicated by the charge status indica-
tor. This flashes while charging:
