INFORMATION

Preface

Dear customer, congratulations on buying your Grundig DECT
telephone and thank you for placing your confidence in us. This
device has been manufactured with the utmost care. If you
should have difficulties in operating it, we recommend that you
consult this user manual.
To operate the device safely and easily, please read the following
sections carefully:

Application information

This telephone is to be used for transmitting voice messages via
telephone networks. Any other use is not permitted and is
considered unfit for the intended use.

Safety information

- Do not install your DECT telephone in a damp environment,
such as a bathroom, washroom, kitchen etc, and not within

1.50 metres of a source of water or outside. This device is
designed for use in temperatures of between 5 °C and 45 °C.

- Only use the power unit supplied and connect it to the electricity
mains in accordance with the installation instructions in this user
manual and the details on the sticker regarding voltage,
electrical current and frequency. As a precaution if there is a
risk of danger, the power plug can be pulled out to disconnect
the 230 volt power supply. Therefore the sockets should be
near the device and easily accessible.

- This device is designed to be used for connecting to the public
telephone network. If problems should arise, contact your
nearest specialist dealer. Only use the telephone cable supplied.

- For safety reasons, never put the handset in the base station
without the battery inserted or without the lid on the battery
compartment as this could cause an electric shock.

- To avoid damaging the handset, only use the rechargeable
battery supplied. The used battery must be disposed of in line
with the recycling regulations in this user manual.

- Your DECT telephone has a range of approx. 50 metres
indoors and up to 300 metres outdoors. The range can be
affected by the proximity of metal objects, such as a television
and electrical devices.

- Certain medical equipment and highly-sensitive machines or
security systems may be affected by the transmission power of
the telephone. In these cases we recommend adhering to the
safety information.

- In regions greatly affected by electrical storms we recommend
that you protect your telephone circuit with a special fixture for
excess voltage.

INFORMATION

- You cannot make calls with the device if there is a power cut.
Therefore keep another telephone at the ready in the event of
an emergency.

- The CE label confirms that the product complies with the 1999/
5/EC regulations of the European Union Parliament regarding
wireless systems and telecommunications for user protection
and for preventing electromagnetic interference. This ensures
the allocated communication network is used properly and
radio interference is avoided. The declaration of compliance
may be looked up on the www.grundig-dect.com website,
section “support” or can be obtained from the following
address:

Sagem Communication - Customer relations department

4, rue du Petit Albi - 95800 Cergy Saint-Christophe - France

Environment

Environmental protection and sustainable development is an
important priority for Sagem Communication. Sagem
Communication has a policy of using environmentally- friendly
systems and makes environmental protection an essential part of
the life-cycle of its products – from the manufacturing, to the
installation, operation and disposal.

Packaging

The logo (green point) on the packaging means that a fee is paid
to an authorised national organisation to improve packaging
recycling and the recycling infrastructure. Follow the local sorting
regulations for this type of waste product in order to improve
recycling.

Batteries

If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at the
designated collection points.

The product

The crossed out dustbin displayed on the product signifies that it
belongs to the electrical and electronic equipment group. The
European regulations request you to carry out your own selective
recycling collection at:

• the sales outlet when you buy a similar new device.

• the collection points available in your area (recycling centres,

sorting points, etc).

5

This means you participate in the recycling and valorisation of
used electric and electronic goods which would otherwise have
a negative impact on the environment and health.

INFORMATION

Setting up/range

Place the base station somewhere central and easily accessible
where you want to use it.
Depending on the ambient conditions, the range can be up to
approx. 300 metres outdoors. It has a range of up to 50 metres
indoors depending on the space and structure of the building.
The structure of the building can cause signal shadows to occur.
This can lead to short interruptions when speaking due to the
weak signal.
The connection breaks up temporarily when there is insufficient
field strength.
Place an anti-slip mat under the base station. The feet on the
device do not usually leave any undesirable marks behind. Due
to the variety of varnish and polish used on furniture, we cannot
completely rule out the possibility that marks from the feet of the
device are left on any surfaces.
Grundig does not accept any liability for this type of damage.
Operating the base station or charger outside or in areas
exposed to frost is not permitted.
The recommended ambient temperature for operating the base
station is +5 °C – +45 °C, the recommended relative air
humidity is 20 % to 75 %.
The installation location must have a mains socket for 230 volts
for the base station or the charger.
