Notice to the user

The G355 and G955 DECT handsets described in this manual should only be used in combination with DECT systems delivered by NEC Philips. In order to take advantage of all features described in this manual the country and network provider specific features should match the features of the NEC Philips system.

Introduction

Regulatory and safety information

Read the following information before you use the NEC Philips G355 and G955 DECT Handsets.

CAUTION

Like all cordless telephones, this handset uses radio signals, which do not guarantee a connection under all circumstances. Do not rely exclusively on cordless telephones when making indispensable calls (such as medical emergencies).

Product disposal information

This device complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 2002/95/EC, and the WEEE Directive 2002/95/EC.

For countries in the European Union

The symbol depicted here has been affixed to your product in order to inform you that electrical and electronic products should not be disposed of as municipal waste.

Electrical and electronic products, including the cables, plugs and accessories should be disposed of separately in order to allow proper treatment, recorvery and

recycling. These products should be taken to a designated facility where the best available treatment, recovery and recycling techniques are available. Separate disposal has significant advantages: valuable materials can be reused and it prevents the dispersion of unwanted substances into the municipal wast stream. This contributes to the protection of the human health and of the environment.

Please be informed that a fine may be imposed for illegal disposal of electrical and electronic products via general municipal waste stream.

Introduction

In order to facilitate separate disposal and environmentally sound recycling, arrangements have been made for local collection and recycling. In case your electrical and electronic products need to be disposed of please refer to your supplier or the contractual agreements that your company has made upon acquisition of these products.

At www.nec-philips.com/weee you can find information about separate disposal and evironmentally sound recycling.

For countries outside the European Union

Disposal of electrical and electronic products in countries outside the European Union should be done in line with the local regulations. If no arrangement has been made with your supplier, please contact the local authorities for further information.

Battery information

Defect or exhausted batteries should never be disposed of as municipal waste. Return old batteries to the battery supplier, a licensed battery dealer or a designated collection facility. Do not incinerate batteries.

This product uses Lithium-Ion batteries 3.7V, 650mAh. Only use the batteries that come with the handset or dedicated spare batteries marked with “Battery Pack for G355/G955”. Do not use any other type

For battery replacement or removal instructions please refer to the related chapter in this manual: “Installing the battery pack” (page 14).

Use the batteries only as directed. Heat or cold batteries reduce the performance and service life of the battery. Handsets with hot or cold batteries can become temporarily out-of-service, even if the batteries are fully charged.

Charge the batteries only with the G355/955 Desktop Charger supplied with the handset. Alternatively the G355/955 Charger Rack can be used to charge the batteries. Do not charge the batteries by any other means.

Do not replace the batteries in potentially explosive environments, such as rooms where flammable liquids or gasses are present.

Introduction

Equipment interference

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 chanes for interference are very small. Research proves that operational DECT phones normally don’t influence electronic equipment e.g., sensitive labaratory equipment. When DECT phones operate in straight nearness of sensitive electronic equipment incidental influence can appear. You are advised not to place the DECT phone on or close (less than 10 cm) 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

Observe the following safety precautions before you use your handset.

CAUTION

Modifications to this equipment not approved by NEC Philips can make this equipment noncompliant with the applied requirements.

NEC Philips recommends that you use only compatible headsets.

WA R NI N G

Do not open the handset when it is switched on or connected to the charger; doing so can expose you to high voltage. Only authorised service personnel must perform repairs.

If your interior handset becomes wet, do not use a blow dryer or oven to dry it. Switch off the handset, remove the battery, shake out excess liquid from the handset, and let it dry for 72 hours at room temperature.

Introduction

CAUTION

The handset product contains a magnet. Do not allow metallic objects to come in contact with the magnet, because that can deteriorate audio quality and damage the handset. Do not allow the charger and the battery to come into contact with conductive objects, such as keys, paper clips, rings, or bracelets.

Keep the handset at least 10 centimetres away from other electronic equipment.

WA R NI N G

Keep the charger, handset, and accessories out of reach of small children.

CAUTION

Use the G355/955 Desktop Charger only in combination with the supplied SALOM SWW-144 AC/DC adapter.

Ensure the mains voltage of the adapter matches the local mains voltage.

Charging the batteries

Place the handset in the charger as shown in the following figure.

Figure 4: Installed charger

CAUTION

The battery pack might become hot during the first charge cycle.

Attention: The handset, if switched off, automatically switches on

when placed in the charger.

Charging guidelines

Observe the following guidelines when you charge your handset:

Getting started

• Charge the battery for at least 6 hours before you use the handset for

the first time. This protective measure extends the service life of the batteries.

• The batteries attain maximum power output only after several

charging and discharging cycles.

• Do not leave the handset connected to the charger for more than a

month without using it.

• You can charge and discharge the batteries hundreds of times, but

eventually they wear out. If the operating time (talk and standby time) becomes significantly shorter than usual, replace the batteries.

• To maintain optimum operating time, periodically discharge the

batteries by leaving the handset off the charger and switched on, until the handset switches itself off. Use only this method to discharge the batteries.

• Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the

batteries.

Charging and operating times

Discharged batteries require no more than 8 hours to completely recharge. Completely charged batteries provide the handset with upto 12 hours of talk time and 120 hours of standby time.

WA R NI N G

The talk time and standby time are influenced by the use of the handset. Influencing these times are e.g., display activities, alerting, use of Bluetooth, wlking around a lot (causing many hand overs), and so on.

Your handset displays the battery status accurately after charging for at least 6 hours.

When removing and replacing the battery pack your handset will not give the battery status accurately until charging for at least 6 hours.

Getting started

CAUTION

Do not install the charger, handset, and accessories near the following:

• water, moisture, sources of heat, or direct sunlight

• devices that generate strong magnetic fields, electrical appliances, fluorescent lamps, computers, radios, televisions, and fax or telephone terminals

• areas where the handset can be covered or in excessive dust, and areas subject to vibration, shock, or extreme temperature fluctuations

• locations with poor ventilation

Charge display

The battery charge status appears on the display screen. When the battery is nearly discharged, the battery symbol flashes and a warning tone sounds. If you are on a call, approximately 3 to 5 minutes of talk time exists before the handset switches off. If you are not on a call and the handset is not in the charging station, the message “Battery empty” appears on the display. You cannot make calls while this message appears.

The following table shows the battery charge status icons.
