DECT G966 Handset Basic User Guide
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).
1.2 Important information
Also refer to the following document:
General DECT Handset Information Guide
The G966 described in this manual should only be used in combination with DECT systems delivered
by NEC. 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 system.
1.2.1 SOS function
The SOS function of the G966 does not replace companion supervision by a colleague or other
people. In case of critical, emergency or life-threatening situations make sure that other persons are
present or that appropriate measures are taken.
1.3 Important safety information
Only use this product in countries where the relevant authorities have authorised its operation.
1.3.1 Sensitive electronic equipment
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 chances for interference 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 straight nearness of sensitive electronic equipment incidental
influence can appear. You are advised not to place the DECT phone on or close (less than 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.
1.3.2 Important battery information
These products use rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries 3.7V, 1600mAh. Only use batteries that come
with the handset or dedicated spare batteries marked with Model No: CPLD-74. Do not use any
other type.
Never disassemble, customize or short-circuit batteries. Do not place battery in fire or heat the
battery.

DECT G966 Handset Basic User Guide
For optimal battery charging performance NEC Enterprise Solutions recommends charging the
battery of the G966 handset in combination with either:
Gx66 Handset Desktop Charger and the Gx66 AC/DC Adapter that comes with the Desktop
Charger;
Gx66 Charger Rack and the Gx66 AC/DC Adapter that comes with the Charger Rack.
Plug the appropriate AC/DC adaptor in a wall outlet socket near the equipment for easy
access/removal of the AC/DC adaptor.
1.4 Safety precautions
1.4.1 Switch off in restricted areas
Always switch your G966 off in areas where smart phone use is restricted.
1.4.2 Switch off in explosive or dangerous areas
Always switch your smartDECT off in areas with explosive or dangerous materials (such as fuels, fuel
stations or areas containing chemical goods) and obey any instructions or signs.
1.4.3 Environments with metal particles
The G966 handsets are not meant for use in industrial and/or production environments. Using the
G966 handset in environments with metal particles will cause small metal particles to stick to the
loudspeaker and to the earpiece. This will have a deteriorating effect on the quality of the speech as
heard by the user of the DECT Handset.

2.9 Using the touchscreen
Many functions of the G966 are performed on the touch screen. Therefore, it is essential to know
how to use the touch screen.
The following finger actions might help you easily understand how to use the touch screen.
Tap & hold: Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an
action occurs.
Drag: Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on
the screen until you reach the target position. For example, you can drag to reposition shortcuts on
the Home screen.
Swipe or slide: Quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you
first touch (so you don't drag something instead). For example, you can slide a Home screen left or
right to view the other Home screens.
Double-tap: Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map or other screen to zoom. For example, double-tap
a webpage in Browser to zoom in, and double-tap again to zoom out.
Pinch: In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by placing two
fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to
zoom in).
Rotate the screen: On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with your device as you
turn it. You can change this Display setting.
