1. Plug the power adaptor into the socket marked on the rear of the charger and plug
the other end into the mains power wall socket.
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH
rechargeable batteries supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’ markings inside the battery
compartment and insert in the
correct direction.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
4. If you are charging the batteries for the rst time, place the handset on the charger to
charge for at least 24 hours continuously.
5. When the handset is fully charged, icon will appear steady on the display. The
display will show
HANDSET
and handset number (e.g. 2) to indicate that it is registered
to the base.
IMPORTANT
Warning! Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells (2 x AAA Ni-MH 750mA
rechargeable batteries) supplied with your CD3.
Please do not use alkaline or nonrechargeable batteries. It may cause permanent
damage to the product and void the warranty.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If you hear a warning beep every 30 seconds during a call, you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again.
When charging, icon will scroll on the display. Once charged scrolling will stop.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 10 hours talk time or up to 150
hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been put to normal
use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset o the base for a few hours
at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as
possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out,
giving the handset less talk / standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the rst time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours
a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected and usage
pattern.
