Power Supply / Power Failure / Rechargeable Batteries
The voltage of the adapter must match the AC outlet voltage (120 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 electrical 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.

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 plugs only.
• Only connect authorized accessories.
• Only use the plug-in adapter supplied.
• 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

Using Your Telephone
DECT and GAP
Your handset uses a digital radio connection in accordance with the Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications standard (DECT) in the Unlicensed Personal Communications Services (UPCS)
frequency band (1,920 – 1,930 MHz) for the connection to the base station.
Users of DECT enjoy superior voice quality, high levels of security, better range, multiple handsets,
rich interoperability, free internal calls, handover, and many more value-adding services.
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 DECT 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 DECT 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.

Installing 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.
