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.

ENGLISH

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:

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).

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.
