3.1 Safety Information
NOTE Before setting-up, it is essential that you read the General Information at the
beginning of this manual.
3.2 Check contents of pack
The following items are supplied:
one base station one mains power supply
one handset with belt clip two standard batteries
one telephone connecting cable one instruction manual
3.3 Connecting the base station
Position the base station near to your telephone connection socket and to a mains
socket. Your telephone works using Touch-Tone Dialling.
1. Insert the plug of the power supply into the socket on the rear of the base
station and plug the power supply into a properly installed 230 V mains socket.
The plug-in power supply for the base station must always be connected. For
safety reasons, use only the plug-in mains power supply provided.
2. Connect the telephone cable supplied to the telephone socket and the
telephone jack on the rear of the base station. Use only the new telephone
cable provided.
3. If required, clamp the two cables in the cable channel underneath the foot
support and then run these through the two openings towards the rear.
Note: The two plugs must audibly click into place so that they do not fall out again.
- Setting up -

3.4 Fitting standard batteries
To fit the standard rechargeable batteries supplied into the
handset, press on the upper edge of the battery compartment
and slide it downwards. Now insert the batteries taking care
to ensure that the polarity is correct. Close the battery
compartment cover.
Important note: Place the handset in the base station with the display to the front
for at least 16 hours. The telephone may malfunction if the batteries are not
properly charged. The charging light on the base station will come on.
3.5 Charging the standard batteries
The standard rechargeable batteries for the handset have a stand-by time of max.
144 hours at room temperature and a maximum talk time of 12 hours. To charge
the batteries, place the handset in the base station with the display to the front.
The current battery capacity is shown in the display.
Full Half full Discharged.
Note: Exactly like your car battery, the standard rechargeable batteries are
unavoidably subject to a certain ageing. However, you can have an influence on this
ageing process by "training" the standard batteries to a certain extent. In regular
use of the phone, if you cyclically charge and fully discharge the standard batteries
by using the telephone until the symbol flashes in the display, a demand is
placed on the batteries and they will repay you by giving maximum performance
and a long life. Extended charging and extended discharging on the other hand will
both degrade the capacity and shorten the life of the standard batteries.

users. For your greeting message, you can use two pre-recorded standard
messages or you can record two messages of your own. If you have not recorded
your own greeting, the standard greeting will answer automatically.
Note: Even when the answering machine has already accepted the call, you can
also accept the call by means of the call button
. In this case, the recording of the
message will be automatically terminated.
The answering machine is controlled by means of the handset. Press 1 to switch on

9.6.3 Switching on the answering machine remotely
Imagine that you have left your office or house and have forgotten to switch on your
answering machine.
By means of the remote access facility, you have the option of switching on the
answering machine from another telephone.
1. Call your number. The call will be automatically accepted after 10 rings
even if the answering machine is switched off and you will hear your
greeting message
2. Replace the receiver.
9.6.4 Toll-free remote pre-access facility
Using the toll-free remote pre-access facility, you can find out whether there are any
messages on your answering machine without incurring any charges.
To do this, set the "Delaying acceptance of calls" function to the "ECO" setting. For
more information see Chapter 9.2.2.
If you now call your answering machine when you are away, the answering machine
will answer as follows:
A. If your call is answered after 2 rings, there will be messages on your answering
machine.
B. If no messages have been recorded, your call will not be answered after 2
rings. Put the receiver down immediately as your call will now only be
answered after the fourth ring. In this way, you can save call charges.

Note: Remember that the forwarding
function will only work if your telephone
connection has caller display (CLID) and
the callers transmit their telephone
numbers or suppress them (private). You
will find more information on caller display
in Chapter 6.
9.7.3 Using and changing the SOS code
With the SOS code, callers can deactivate the blocks described under 9.3.1 and
9.3.2 so that the base station rings anyway. The SOS code is a three-digit number.
The factory setting is 111.
Using the SOS code
The caller enters the star symbol * and the SOS code by means of the number pad

10 Multiple handsets
Up to four additional handsets can be logged on to your base station. You can
obtain these additional handsets from your AUDIOLINE dealer with the designation
DECT 4801.
When you use multiple handsets you will have the following options:
- Internal calls between handsets.
- External calls can be forwarded between handsets.
- Incoming external calls are signalled on all handsets.
- Room monitoring
Note: If another handset is already using the external line, the message EXT will
appear on all handsets. In this case, it is not possible to make a further external call.
10.1 Making an internal call
When you have connected multiple handsets to a base station, you will be able to
make internal calls. To do this, press the
button and then the number of the
required handset. The call is accepted with the call button
on the handset called.
If an external call comes in while you are making an internal call, you will hear short
signal tones and the message EXT will flash in the display. To take the external call,
end the internal call by means of the call button
and accept the external call with
the call button
.
10.2 Connecting external calls to another handset
If you have accepted an external call on one handset, you can forward the external
call to another handset. To do this, press the
button and then the number of
the required handset. After the internal call has been accepted at the other handset,
you have the following options:
A. Consultation / Brokering: You can now speak to the internal subscriber and
return to the external caller by pressing the
button. You can switch between
the external and the internal call as many times as you like in this way.
B. Forward the call: The external call is forwarded to the handset called by
pressing the call button
on the first handset.
Note: Handsets from other manufacturers can also be integrated into the telephone
system by means of the internationally adopted GAP standard. In the same way,
you can use an AUDIOLINE handset on base stations from other manufacturers, as
long as these units work using the GAP standard.
- Multiple handsets -
110
10.3 Holding conference calls
An external call can be connected to a further internal subscriber as a conference
call. In this way, two handsets can talk to the external caller simultaneously.
Establish the required connection with the external subscriber. Then press the
button and the internal number of the second handset required. When the second
internal subscriber has accepted the call, press and hold the
button for 2
seconds and all three subscribers will be connected together on a conference call.
The messages INT and EXT will appear in the display. The conference is ended by
one of the internal participants hanging up.
10.4 Room monitoring
With the room monitoring feature,
you place a handset in the
required room and activate the
monitor function. You can then
call up this handset and listen-in
to the room without the handset
ringing. Also in the case of an
external call, the handset
concerned does not ring.

You can increase the range of the handsets by using multiple base stations. In
order to use this effect, all base stations must be connected to one telephone line.
Depending upon how you want to use the system, you can allocate the same phone
number to each base station or you can give the base stations different numbers.
Make sure that the range of each base station overlaps. Please check the range of
the handsets each time before setting up a new base station.
If a handset is logged on to the base station and if automatic base station selection
is switched on (further information in this chapter), the handset will always be
forwarded to the nearest base station automatically. Current calls cannot be
