Cannot register a FRITZ!DECT radiator control

Registration of FRITZ!DECT 301 to the FRITZ!Box fails. After inserting the batteries into the device, "Gerät wird vorbereitet" and then "Gerät wird angepasst" are shown in the display, but the DECT connection is not established when you push the DECT button on the FRITZ!Box. The symbol for the radio connection is not permanently shown in the display of the radiator control. The radiator control is not displayed or is displayed with an inactive connection in the menu "Smart Home" in the FRITZ!Box.
