Depending on your system configuration, your terminal can be single-line (no line keys)
or multi-line (you have two line keys).

On a multi-line terminal, the enquiry call function can be configured in one of two
modes:

- single-line (or PABX) mode,

- multi-line (or key system) mode.

This difference notably implies different activation of the enquiry call, broker call and
transfer functions, depending on the selected mode.

Note: for further details concerning your system configuration, consult your system manager.

Your telephone has a display screen, with two lines of 16 characters each.
The 1st line gives general information and the 2nd line shows the symbols for the keys
programmed and the status of the set.

- Terminal idle (display screen also obtained by pressing ):
1st line: date and time or blank.
2nd line: set locked, lock keypad, radio signal level, battery charge status

- During a call:
1st line: informations sur votre correspondant et sur la conversation en cours.
2nd line: radio signal level and symbols indicating current call status.

When the terminal is idle, it goes into standby after a few seconds, and the display
screen then only shows the receive symbol and the battery symbol.

LLiinnee kkeeyyss

In multi-line configuration, the set has two line keys which can be used to make or
receive a call.

In single-line configuration, the left-hand key cancels an enquiry call and the
right-hand key provides transition between the two calls.

The DECT functions of your Alcatel system manage subscriber mobility, using DECT
portable telephones.

Alcatel system radio coverage is provided by a number of base stations, transmitting
within a radius of 20 m to 150 m (depending on the environment). The area covered
by a base station is called a cell.

RRoouuttiinngg

Outgoing calls can be made or incoming calls can be received, in any cell.

This telephone is not designed to be used inside a vehicle.

RRaaddiioo ttrraannssffeerr

Radio transfer enables a user to move between cells during a conversation. This function
is automatic, with no loss of communication. In some cases, slight crackling may be
audible in the telephone at the instant of transfer.

CCoonnddiittiioonnss ooff uussee ooff tteelleepphhoonnee

You are about to use DECT type equipment, officially approved for private use between
portable telephones and a private exchange (PABX), with no wire or domestic terminal
connections.

In addition to the approval of the equipment, the following utilisation conditions must
also be observed, notably due to the use of radioelectrical frequencies:

- the use of DECT equipment is not guaranteed against interference generated by other

authorised users of radioelectrical frequencies,

- DECT equipment can only be used for links between fixed geographical points when

the said points are not permanent installations, and the equivalent isotropic power
radiated at the antenna shall not exceed 50 mW,

- DECT equipment (type PABX without wire link with more than two public lines) shall

be installed by a technician approved by the ministry responsible for
telecommunications, as such installations are considered to be complex installations,

- the conditions applicable to DECT equipment access to a telepoint network shall be

defined in an contract with the authorised telepoint network operator concerned.

This terminal must only be used with an Alcatel system.

Do not expose the terminal to severe environments (rain, salty air, dust, etc.).

Terminal operation is not guaranteed outside an ambient air temperature range of

- 20°C to + 55°C.

Delivered terminal specifications are:

- terminal 4074 (models 4074 GB/GB Ex or 4074 GH/GI or 4074 GC),

- battery (NiCd 600 mAh or NiMH 1200 mAh),

- battery box (depending on model).

Charge the terminal by installing it in its support (see p. 27).

SSwwiittcchhiinngg oonn tthhee tteerrmmiinnaall

To switch on the terminal, press key until an audible "beep" is heard and the
display screen lights up. A short startup sequence is then run. If the terminal cannot be
switched on or if the battery symbol is flashing, then either the battery needs charging
or it is not fully inserted into the DECT set.
If the word "OUT" is shown on the display screen, then you are outside the area of
coverage.

To switch off the terminal, press (long press).

The terminal is supplied with a battery unit (depending on the model, 1200 mAh NiMH
or 600 mAh NiCd).
This unit contains polluting substances and should only be discarded at a specific
disposal point.

Battery life:

- using the NiCd battery:

 in standby, inside the area of coverage: 30 hours,
 in continuous conversation: 6 hours,

- using the NiMH battery:

 in standby, inside the area of coverage: 55 hours,
 in continuous conversation: 10 hours.

Note:

- A new battery must be charged for at least 12 hours, with the terminal off, to

become fully operational.

- Batteries only achieve full capacity after around 10 charge/discharge cycles.

- So that the battery does not lose capacity, we recommend completely discharging it

at least once every two months.
Simply use your terminal without placing it in its charging unit until the low charge
indication appears. You can then completely charge it.

25

- Do not use non-rechargeable batteries. Attempts to charge will be unsuccessful and

can seriously damage the terminal and/or charger.

CChhaarrggiinngg uunniitt 44007711DDAA

Charging unit 4071DA can be used as a stand for the terminal while the battery is
being charged. The terminal can be ON or OFF.

The charging unit comprises:

- 1 position for the terminal (1),

- 1 LED indicating battery charge status (2),

- 1 position for a spare battery (3),

- 1 LED indicating the charge status of the spare battery (4),

- 1 mains power connection cable (5).

Note:

- There can be two minutes difference between the fully charged indications given on

the terminal screen and on the charger. This in no way affects the battery charge
level.
