Important Safety Information
Proper use / Declaration of Conformity
Use in accordance with intended purpose / declaration of conformity.
In all EU member states this product may be operated on a communication system that supports the
specifications for an Open Mobility Management (OMM) system.
The phone complies with the radio-specific, European-wide harmonised standards for DECT.
The CE mark on the product certifies its conformity with the technical guidelines for user safety and
electromagnetic compatibility, valid from the date of issue of the relevant Declaration of Conformity
pursuant to European Directive 99/5/EC. The Declaration of Conformity can be viewed on the Aastra
homepage.
Please also use the other documentation supplied along with the individual parts of your phone system.
Like any cordless phone this mobile phone uses radio signals which do not always guarantee that a
connection can be established under any circumstances. As a general rule you should therefore
never rely exclusively on cordless phones for essential communication needs (e.g. medical emergencies).
Power Supply / Power Failure / Rechargeable Batteries
The main voltage of the adapter must match the local mains voltage (230 V AC) in order to operate
the charger cradle. You can only cut the power to the charger cradle off by removing the adapter
from the mains socket.
In the event of a power outage, the contents of the memory (program and user data) will be saved
without any changes being made.
Please refer to the important notes on using the rechargeable batteries mentioned in the Appendix
on page 58
Safety Precautions
The charger cradle must only be installed and operated indoors.
Place the charger cradle on a nonslip surface.
Do not place the charger cradle or the handset in the proximity of:
• Water, moisture or damp areas, for example bathrooms.
• Sources of heat, direct sunlight or unventilated areas.
• Devices that generate strong magnetic fields, electrical appliances, fluorescent lamps, computers,
radios, televisions, fax machines or telephones.

Using Your Telephone
Overview and Basic Information
• Areas where the equipment can be covered, its ventilation impaired or liquid can get inside.
• Areas where there is excessive dust and areas subject to vibration, shock or extreme temperature
fluctuations.
Please note the following when setting up, connecting, and using your telephone:
• Lay the cables where they cannot be walked on or tripped over, causing injury.
• Connect the cables to the appropriate sockets only.
• Only connect authorized accessories.
• Only use the plug-in adapter supplied (ID No.: 4512132 Continental Europe / 4513788 for UK).
• Scientific research has shown that in certain cases, medical equipment can be influenced by operational DECT telephones. You should therefore adhere to any regulations applicable in medical
institutions regarding the operation of cordless telephones.
• Never
- open the charger cradle or handset yourself (except for the battery compartment cover)
- touch the contacts with sharp or metallic objects
- carry the charger cradle by its connector cables.
• Only use a slightly damp cloth to clean your telephone.
• Do not operate your telephone in areas where there is any risk of an explosion.
Keep the handset and accessories out of reach of small children.
Note for the users of hearing aids
Before using the handset, users of hearing aids should note that such aids can receive radio signals,
which, if powerful enough, may cause an unpleasant hum.
General Information
The Aastra Phone 142 is a telecommunications device that you can operate on a communications
system specified as compatible with an OpenMobilityManagement system (OMM).
The newly designed menus enable easy handling and fast access to the many functions and features provided by your system.
Make yourself familiar with your telephone equipment. You’ll discover many new functions that
make communication and organization easier.
DECT and GAP
Your handset uses a digital radio connection in accordance with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone (DECT) standard for the connection to the base station. This digital channel guarantees the
highest voice quality possible without static or background noise.
The Generic Access Profile (GAP) and the DECT standard define methods according to which digital
cordless telephones can establish connections. As the GAP standard is not manufacturer-specific, it’s
possible to combine base stations and handsets from different manufacturers with one another.
Basic functions (i.e., making and receiving calls) are always possible when using these combinations.
Other functions (e.g., the display of phone numbers or connection states) may not be available if you
use other manufacturers’ devices, however. For more information, please refer to the user guide
provided by the other manufacturer or ask your system administrator.
Memory Card
The Aastra Phone 142 is equipped with a memory card. This stores your phone's local settings
(including a local telephone book with up to 100 entries) and its identification number (IPEI). This
means that if you exchange phones with someone else, you simply take your memory card out of
your own phone and plug it into the other one. You will then have all the data you need in the new
phone and can make calls right away without having to register it on the base station again.
The memory card is inserted in a slot in the battery compartment underneath the batteries. For
security purposes, your phone is fitted with an additional battery compartment lock.
In some models, the memory card has already been inserted in the factory. If the memory card has
been supplied separately, you will have to insert it in its slot yourself. This is located in the battery
compartment underneath the batteries. For instructions on how to insert the memory card in the
Aastra Phone 142, please refer to the section entitled "Installation" below.

Setting up the Charger Cradle
Your telephone was designed for normal operating conditions. These days, furniture is coated with a
large range of different paints and synthetics, and then treated with various polishes. It is possible
that some of these substances may contain components which damage the rubber feet on the
charger cradle. In this situation, the feet may leave unsightly marks on the surface of furniture.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage of this nature. For this reason you should
place your charger cradle on a nonslip base, especially in the case of new or polished furniture.

Commissioning the Handset
Important Information about the Batteries
Never use the batteries for any purpose other than that for which they were intended. Never use a
battery which is damaged or worn out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and service life of the batteries. A handset with hot or cold
batteries may be temporarily out of order even if the batteries are fully charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations. Please hand
them in for recycling if possible.
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Charging and Discharging
The batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but sooner or later they will be
worn out. If the operating time (i.e., talk and standby time) is significantly shorter than usual, then
it is time to replace the batteries.
To maintain the highest operating time possible, the batteries should be discharged now and again
by not placing the handset in the charger cradle but leaving it switched on until it discharges itself.
Only use this method to discharge the batteries.
Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the batteries.
Initial Setup and Operation
Charge the batteries approximately six to seven hours before using the handset for the first time.
This protective measure will extend the service life of the batteries.
The maximum capacity is only attained after three to five charging and discharging cycles.
Place the handset regularly in the charger cradle, thus ensuring optimum charging of the batteries.
When replacing the batteries, please pay attention to the correct polarity. It is essential to make sure
that only battery types approved by the manufacturer are used.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for malfunctions or damage caused by using normal
batteries or other types of rechargeable batteries.
Your handset is only operational after the batteries have been charged. You can then use the handset to make and receive calls.

example) into the hole at the bottom of the handset (1).
2
Simultaneously lift the battery compartment cover upward
as shown (2).
Inserting the Batteries (Observe the Polarity)
Take care to observe correct polarity: the + - markings of the batteries must correspond with the +
- markings in the battery compartment.
It does not require any force to insert the batteries. If you
try to insert them with incorrect polarity, you may damage
your phone.
Inserting the Memory Card
If a memory card was not in your handset when you first unpacked the phone, then you will have to
insert it in its slot in the battery compartment yourself.
Important note on safety
Take great care handling the memory card. The contacts should be free of dust, grease, moisture,
etc. Do not store your card in a place where it will get hot (e.g., through direct exposure to sunlight). Avoid bending the memory card, as the contacts may get damaged as a result.
• First of all, press the memory card out of the frame holding it
using your finger.
• Then push the memory card cover in the battery compartment in
the direction of the arrow (OPEN). Tilt the cover upward slightly.

Your handset has a battery management system which has to ascertain the limits of the battery
charge status first before it can output the correct status to the display.
When you insert the batteries for the first time, the charge status will not be displayed correctly
until they have been completely discharged and then completely recharged.
When the handset is placed in the charger cradle, the flashing or lit segments indicate the charging
process or charge status respectively.
Charge Warning
When the batteries' capacity is almost exhausted, the battery icon in the display will flash, and an
acoustic warning is given in the form of three short “beep” signals every minute. If you are making a
call, you have approximately five minutes' talk time left before the handset switches itself off.
Use only rechargeable NiMH batteries. Never use normal, nonrechargeable batteries or fuel cells (see
page 58).
Note
Your handset can be operated on up to ten different communications systems. To do so, it has to be
registered to each system.
Your system administrator will register the handset for operation on a communications system with
OpenMobilityManager.
If you want to register your handset on any other communications system, please refer to the relevant documentation. If you want to register the handset on a base station complying with the GAP
standard, please activate the “GAP only” feature in the “System > Subscriptions” menu (see page
