3.3. Initial Charge
Place the handset on the base station. Ensure it is correctly seated and the charging indicator (if available) illuminates. For optimal battery performance, charge the handset for at least 12-15 hours before its first use, even if the display indicates a full charge sooner.
3.4. Handset Registration (if required)
Your handset should be pre-registered to the base station. If the handset displays "Unregistered" or similar, you may need to manually register it. Refer to the on-screen prompts or the full manual for specific registration steps, which typically involve pressing a button on the base station and then initiating registration from the handset menu.

- Press the TALK button again to end the call.
Alternatively, you can dial the number first and then press the TALK button to initiate the call.

When the phone rings, press the TALK button to answer the call. To end the call, press the END button (usually a red phone icon) or place the handset back on the base station.
4.3. Adjusting Volume
During a call, use the navigation buttons (up/down arrows) on the handset to adjust the earpiece volume.
4.4. Phonebook
The Brondi Manta allows you to store frequently called numbers. Consult the handset's menu for options to add, edit, or delete phonebook entries. Typically, you would navigate to the "Phonebook" or "Contacts" menu, select "Add New," enter the name and number, and save.
5. Maintenance
