Package contents

The package contains the following items:

➭1 Base station

➭1 AC power adapter

➭1 Handset

➭2 Dowels/2 screws

➭2 Rechargeable batteries

Location

To obtain the best possible range, we recommend positioning the telephone in a location

central to your sphere of activity. Avoid positioning the telephone in niches, recesses and

behind steel doors.

The maximum range between the base station and handset is approximately 300 meters.

Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the

range may be smaller. The indoor range is normally smaller than outdoors. Depending on

the structural surroundings, radio dead spots may occur even within the range due to

digital transmission in the frequency range used. In this case the transmission quality may

be reduced through the increased incidence of short breaks in transmission. Normal

transmission quality will be resumed if you move slightly out of the radio dead spot.

When the range is exceeded, the connection will be broken unless you move back into

range within ten seconds.

To avoid radio signal interference from other electronic equipment, we recommend that

the base station/charging bay and handset are situated at the greatest possible distance

(minimum 1 meter) from other equipment.

Setting up the base station

➭Do not expose the base stationto direct sunlight.

Protect the base stationagainst moisture. Do not position the telephone in room

exposed to condensation, corrosive steam or excessive dust. Condensation can

occur in cellars, garages, conservatories or sheds.

The ambient temperature must be between 5 °C and 40 °C.

Position the base station in a clean, dry and well-aired location. Choose a

place which is stable, even and not subject to vibrations.

Toavoid mutual interference, do not position the base station in the immediate

vicinity of electronic equipment such as hi-fi systems, office equipment or microwave

ovens. Avoid positioning the telephone near heat sources such as heating elements or

near obstacles such as metal doors, thick walls, niches and cupboards.

The base station does not have a mains switch. For this rreason the socket

to which it is connected must be easy to access.

Putting the handset into operation

Your handset will be ready for operation (for making or accepting calls) only once the

battery has been charged for the first time.

Inserting the rechargeable batteries

The bottom of the handset contains a battery compartment for housing two type AAA

batteries (microcells).

Removing the battery

compartment cover:

Slide the battery compartment

cover downwards

(approx.3 mm) and lift.

Inserting the two rechargeable batteries (note the polarity!):

Insert the batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity is correct. Make

sure to insert the batteries so that the flat end of the battery (the negative side) connects

to the spring contact. The handset will not function if the batteries are incorrectly inser-

ted. This may result in damage. Replace the compartment cover by placing it approxima-

tely 3 mm offset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

Charging the batteries

The batteries are not yet charged when you first unpack the telephone. To charge the

batteries, place the handset on the base station. The flashing battery symbol on the

handset signals the charging pr ocedure. The batteries will take around 14 hours to

charge up.

Note•Do not place the handset in the base station if the batteries have not

been fitted.

•Do not use strange base station, the batteries can be damaged.

The following symbols indicate the charging status on the handset display:

DCharging status “empty”

CCharging status “1/2 ”

ACharging status “full”

Once the new batteries have been inserted, the display (1/2, full) on the handset indica-

tes the actual charging status only after a complete charging procedure.

Insert the plug into your telephone connection socket once the battery symbol has stop-

ped flashing.

Your telephone is now ready to use.

Important!

Please note: The first time you insert the batteries, the battery display will indicate

the correct information on the charging status only after a complete charging cycle.

Use only NiMH rechargeable batteries. Never use disposable batteries/primary

cells.

Note You can replace the handset in the base station after every call. Charging

is electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging of batteries in diffe-

rent charge states. Avoid removing the batteries from the handset for no

good reason, since this af fects the optimum charging cycle.

You can telephone for up to 10 hours with fully charged batteries.

If the battery charge status has reached its lower limit, the battery symbol

(

) flashes in the display and a warning signal is heard. You have 10 minu-

tes of talk time left.
