1 Important Safety Information

Only use this product in countries where the appropriate authorities have given their authorisation.
The A9 symbol on the product certifies its conformity with the Australian technical requirements concerning user safety and electro-magnetic compatibility valid at the time of approv al.
Sensitive
Electronic
Environment
Any radio-based equipment can potentially cause interference with other equipment and can be interfered from other equip­ment. This also applies for DECT equipment. However due to the very low transmission power level the chan ence are very small. Research proves that operational DECT phones normally don't influence electronic equipment however some precautions must be taken into account for sensitive electronic equipment e.g. sensitive laboratory equipment. When DECT phones operate in electronic equipment incidental influence can advised not to place the DECT phone on or close (less then 10cm) to this kind of equipment, even in standby mode.
Please also use the other documentation supplied with the var­ious parts of your telephone system.

Safety
Precautions
• Do not open the handset or charger, this could expose you to high voltages. Have all repairs carried out by authorized service personel.
• Do not allow the charger and the battery contacts to come into contact with conductive objects such as keys, paper clips, rings or bracelets.
• Do not allow the handset and charger to come into contact with water or chemicals.
ly use the plug-in AC adapter DVE Model No: DV-7515RSAA.
On
Only use rechargable batteries type, AAA, 1.2V, NiMH, 800mAh.
• Do not use AC adapters which are visibly damaged (cracked or broken housing) and keep the ventilation slits on the plug-in AC adapters free.
• Do not use the handsets in vehicles or in hazardous loca­tions.
• This product contains magnetic material. Be aware that small metallic objects may stick for example to the loudspeaker. This may deteriorate the audio quality and can be harmfull.

Usage Like all other cordless telephones, this handset uses radio

signals which do not guarantee a connection set-up under all circumstances. Generally, you should therefore not rely exclusively on cordless telephones when making indispensable calls (e.g. medical emergencies).

2Installation

Installation
Location
Commissioning
your Handset
Place the charger on a flat, even surface. Do not install the charger, handset and accessories in the proximity of:
• Water, moisture or damp areas.
• Sources of heat, direct sunlight or unventilated areas.
• Devices which generate strong magn et ic fields , elec tr ical appliances, fluorescent lamps, computers, radios, televisions or fax and telephone terminals.
• Areas where the handset can be covered, its ventilation is impaired and liquid can get inside.
• Areas where there is excessive dust and areas subject to vibration, shock or extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Install / keep the handset and accessories out of reach of small children.
Your handset is only operational after the batteries have been charged. You can then use the handset to make and receive calls.
Placing the batteries in the handset
The battery compartment is on the back of the handset. It takes the three type AAA bat­teries which are supplied.
Please refer to the Important Battery Information on page 7.
Opening the battery compartment cover:
Insert a suitable item (e.g. the top of a ballpoint-pen) into the hole at the bottom of the com­partment cover (1). Push it in and lift the cover at the same time (2).
Inserting the batteries:
Insert the batteries in the bat­tery compartment, taking care to observe the correct polarity. The + - poles of the batteries must correspond to the + ­markings in the battery com­partment.
5
Closing the battery compartment cover:
Replace the cover by placing it on the compartment at a slight angle (1) and pressing it down until it clicks into place (2).
Note: if the batteries are inserted incorrectly, the handset will not function, and may be damaged.
Installing the
Charger
To operate the charger a mains connection is required. Check if the mains voltage
does match the adapter mains voltage.
Connect the cable on the plug-in AC adapter to the ter­minal on the bottom of the charger and plug the AC adapter into the mains socket­outlet.

3 Important Battery Information

Note: use only rechargable AAA NiMh battery of typical 800 mAh, 1.2 V. Never use a battery which is damaged or worn out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and service life of the batteries. It is possible that a handset with hot or cold batteries can be temporarily out of operation even if the batteries are fully charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations. Hand them in for recycling!
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Charging and
Discharging
The batteries can be charged and di scharged 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 optimum operating time, the batteries should be discharged from time to time by not placing the handset in the charger but leaving it switched on until it switches itself off. Only use this method to discharge the batteries.
Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the batteries.

4 Charging the Batteries

Initial Setup
and Operation
Charging and
Operating
Times
Charge the batteries approximately 6 to 7 hours before initial use of the handset. This protective measure extends the ser­vice life of the batteries.
The maximum power output is only attained after three to five charging and discharging cycles.
Place the handset regularly in the charger thus ensuring opti­mum charging of the batteries.
When replacing the batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity. It is essential to make sure that only battery types approved by the manufacturer are used.
Use only rechargable AAA NiMh battery of 800 mAh, 1.2 V. The manufacturer does not accept liability for malfunctions or dam­age caused by using other battery types or normal batteries.
Charging time: (empty batteries) to full capacity in app rox. 6 to 7 hours.
Talk time: approx. 20 hours (with fully charged batteries). Standby time: from 200 up to 300 hours (with fully charged
batteries).

Charge Display The charge status of the batteries is indicated by ƒ on the

display. This means:
ƒ batteries fully charged (80 – 100 %) batteries 60 – 80 % A batteries 40 – 60 % batteries 20 – 40 % batteries 0 – 20 %
(frame flashes) batteries are empty: alert tone has been given.

Battery
Capacity Icon
When batteries are replaced, no icon will be displayed befor e a complete charge cycle has been completed, except when almost empty batteries are inse rted in the phon e, then the ico n will be shown immediately.
When the battery capacity icon is displayed the indication is reliable.
If charged batteries are inserted, the batteries can become hot during the first charge cycle, and if the fully charged batt erie s are removed from the phone and inserted again, the batteries can become overcharged.
Charge
Warning
When the batteries’ capacity is almost exhausted, an acoustic warning is given in the form of 3 short ”beep” signals (only dur­ing a call). Approximately 5 minutes of talk time is left.

5 Initial Setup and Operation

The handset can be operated on up to 10 different DECT sys­tems. To do so, it has to be registered to each DECT system.
