SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Caring for your telephone

To ensure you receive the maximum benefit from using your telephone, please observe the follo wing guidelines.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or similar cleaning agents to clean your ThermoDECT phone, as these may cause permanent damage not covered by the warranty. Use a clean, damp cloth.

• Keep your ThermoDECT phone away from hot, humid conditions and direct sunlight.

• Do not attempt to repair the telephone yourself. Contact the retailer or an electrician if your telephone requires servicing.

A. LED indicator

Safety precautions

Please observe the following safety precautions when setting up and using your ThermoDECT telephone.

• Do not use your ThermoDECT phone in or near water. Using your telephone with wet hands, while standing in water, or in wet conditions (such as in the rain) can damage the unit and cause injury from electric shock.

• If the base unit falls into the water, do not attempt to retrieve it until you have unplugged the power source. Pull the unit out by its cord. Never reach into the water to retrieve the unit.

• Never use your ThermoDECT telephone out-of-doors during a thunderstorm. Unplug the base unit from the telephone line and power source when there are severe storms in your area. Damage caused by lightening is not covered by the warranty.

• Do not attempt to open or modify your telephone.

SETTING UP YOUR TELEPHONE

Unpacking the telephone

When you unpack your ThermoDECT phone, make sure to keep all the packing materials in a safe place, in case you need to later transport the phone or return it for servicing. In the box, you will find:

• The ThermoDECT phone base unit

• The ThermoDECT phone cordless handset

• Two rechargeable batteries for the handset

• A 220-volt AC power cord

• A telephone line

• An attachable belt clip for the handset

• A remote temperature sensor

• Two regular batteries for the remote sensor

Remote unit set up

Up to 3 remote units can be used with this product to monitor outdoor temperature. The measurement unit (°C or °F) and channel number (1, 2, or 3) switches are located in the battery compartment, and should be set prior to installation.

Note: • Additional remote units sold separately. If you are using more than one remote unit, be sure

to select a different channel number for each unit.

• When you set a channel, don't forget to keep track of that sensor's location.

Installation

Mount the remote unit on a flat surface using the recess hole on the back of the unit.

For best results:

• Before you insert the batteries, select the measurement unit and channel number first.

• Place the unit out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the remote unit more than 20 – 30 meters (66 – 98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.

• Position the unit so that it faces the main (indoor) unit. Minimize obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

Note: • For initial sensor search bring the remote sensor to a distance no less than 10 meters (33 feet)

from the base.

• You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best reception after the sensor search has been completed.

Choosing a location for the base unit

When selecting a location for your base unit, observe the following guidelines:

• Choose a location that provides easy access to a 220-volt AC power source. Never try to lengthen the power cord. Use an appropriate AC power cord for your local power supply.

• Choose a location that will allow the telephone cable to reach a telephone jack. You can use an extension jack or cable if necessary.

• Place the base unit as high as possible to obtain the maximum radio frequency range with the handset. You may need to try several locations – such as upstairs, or near a first-floor landing – to find the best range. Solid structures such as walls and doors may reduce the signal strength.

• Do not place the base unit near the sink, bathtub, or shower.

• Do not place the base unit near objects that may cause radio interference, such as another telephone, large metal objects such a mirror or filing cabinet, or electrical appliance such as an electric stove, washing machine, microwave oven, television, and fluorescent lights.

• Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight.

• The indoor temperature reading displayed is the temperature recorded at the base unit.

Connecting the base unit

To set up the base unit:

1.Plug the small end of the telephone cord into the telephone socket located at the

back of the base unit, as shown in the

diagram to the right.

2.Plug the other end of the telephone cord into the telephone wall socket.

Note: Reversing the polarity may damage the handset.

3.Replace the battery compartment by sliding it in the direction shown by the arrow in the diagram to the right. The lid clicks into place when it is secure.

Charging the handset batteries

You must charge the handset batter ies for 15 hours the first time you use them. The battery icon on the handset display becomes progressively empty as the batteries become low. When the batteries are fully charged, the icon looks full and dark, as shown here

. When the icon

appears empty as shown here

or if you hear the warning beep during a call, please:

• End the call as soon as possible.

• Don’t use the speakerphone mode since this consumes more energy than the normal talk mode.

Resetting your telephone system

Resetting the system clears all information that you have stored on your telephone – such as telephone book entries, caller ID history, and the baby call (emergency call) number – and returns your ThermoDECT telephone to its default settings (shown on page 29). There are two ways to reset the system – with a security PIN, and without a security PIN.

To reset the system with a security PIN:

1. Press the button.

2. Press

to select Setup from the options.

3. Press

4. Press

to select Default from the options.

5. Press

6. Enter your security PIN number. If you enter the wrong PIN number, an Error message displays.

7. Press . A confirmation melody sounds from the handset, and the system resets and flashes the word “Base” on the handset. Hold the handset near the base unit for a few seconds until it finds the

base.

USING MULTIPLE HANDSETS

You can register up to four additional handsets and three additional base units to expand your ThermoDECT telephone system. Additional handsets and base units are sold separately. Handsets are shipped with a charge adapter for recharging their batteries.

Note: This ThermoDECT telephone is compatible with most major modern DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) telephones. If you already have a DECT system, check to see if the systems are complatible by registering a handset to both base units.

Managing multiple handset and base unit registrations

A base unit can carry a maximum of 5 handsets on its network. You can make intercom, 3-way, baby monitor, and transfer calls between handsets that are registered to the same base unit, but not to handsets that are registered to a different base unit. Consider the following example.

Example: The Harris household has seven members: Mum, Dad, Jill, Anna, Sam, Grandma H, and Tom. Each person has their own handset. Because the family has more than five handsets, they own two base units. The following diagram shows how the handsets are registered.

With this set-up, anyone in the household can make or answer telephone calls. Mum, Dad, Jill, Anna and Sam can make transfer, 3-way intercom, and baby monitor calls to one another, but not with Grandma H or Tom. This is because Grandma H and Tom are on a different sub-network , or base unit, than the others. They can make these types of calls between themselves, but not with anyone not registered to base 2.

Thus, if Mum answers an incoming call for Tom, and wishes to transfer it, she must do one of the following:

1. Give Tom her handset.

2. Ask Tom to use one of the hand sets registered to base 1, then transfer the call to that handset (for instructions, refer to pages 19-20).

3. Take the caller’s name and number and ask Tom to call back.

More long term, Mum can cross-register up to 3 handsets from Base 1 with Base 2. That way, any of the 3 cross-registered handsets can fully interact with both sub-networks. The following diagram illustrates this set-up:

1. There are 5 handsets registered to each base unit. No more additional handset can be added unless one is removed.

2. Mum, Dad, and Sam can use the call tranfer, 3-way conference, intercom, and baby monitor features with anyone in the household.

3. Anyone in the household can use these features with Mum, Dad, and Sam.

4. Jill and Anna cannot use these features withTom or Grandma H, but they can with Mum, Dad, and Sam.

5. Tom and Grandma H cannot use these features with Jill and Anna, but they can with Mum, Dad, Sam, and one another

As you add handsets and additional base units to your ThermoDECT telephone, it is important to remember the following concepts.

1. Each base unit can carry a maximum of 5 handsets, and keeps a record of which handsets have been registered to it.

2. Each handset keeps a record of which base unit(s) it has been registered to. A handset can be crossregistered to up to 4 base units.

3. You may need to reset the registrations as you reorganize your telephone system. There are several types of registration procedures, as follows:

Procedure Type Use this when:

A. Remove a handset registration Simple Y ou are replacing a handset or discontinuing its

use (see page 17).

B. Register a new handset Simple Y ou are adding a new handset to a base unit that

has > 4 registrations (see next section). C. Clear all handset registrations Complex You are reorganizing your network (see page 17). D. Clear all base unit registrations Complex You are reorganizing your network (see page 17).

Registering a new handset

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

This section includes a list of frequently asked questions for problems you may encounter with your ThermoDECT telephone. If your telephone is not operating as you think it should, check here before arranging for servicing.

Problems turning on the telephone

“I cannot hear a dial tone or get the LCD display to work.”

Check to make sure the telephone is properly set up:

• Is the base unit plugged into the telephone line and AC power source? See page 6 for instructions.

• Is the AC power source turned on at the socket?

• Are the batteries properly installed in the handset? See page 6 for instructions.

If the problem persists, please contact our help line following the instructions on our website (www. oregonscientific.com). Never attempt to repair or adjust the telephone yourself. This can cause damage to the unit, electrical shock, and may invalidate your warranty.

Problems making and answering calls

“I cannot make or answer calls.”

• Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

• If this doesn’t work, try a different position for the base unit following the instructions on page 6. Typically, the higher you place the base unit, the better the reception.

• The battery charge level may be low. The battery life shortens when you use the Speakerphone (handsfree) mode. Check the LCD display for the low battery warning signal

. If the battery is

low, place the handset in the charging cradle of base unit until the battery signal appears full.

• Check the power connection by switching off the power at the main socket, waiting a few seconds, then switching it back on.

“When I press the phone button, I hear the busy tone.”

You will hear a busy tone if the line is engaged with another handset that is registered to the same base unit. Check the LCD display area for the EXT symbol. This symbol indicates that someone else is already on the line.

“When I press the keys on my handset, nothing happens. The display is showing the symbol. ”

The

symbol means that the keypad lock feature has been activated. Refer to page 23 for

instructions on how to unlock the keypad.

“When I press the keys on my handset, digits appear on the display but I cannot make an outside call.”

• You may have inadvertently activated the call barring function on this handset, which prevents calls from being placed.

• The handset may be unable to find the base unit. Try moving closer to the base unit. If the problem persists, try a different position for the base unit, following the instructions on page 6.

• If you have registered additional handsets to the same base unit, make sure they are not already on a call. The LCD display on your handset will display the EXT symbol if the line is engaged.

• The dial mode setting may be incorrect. Refer to page 10 for instructions on how to set the dial mode.

“My call was cut off when I went out of range of the base unit. Now I cannot use my handset.”

Please move the handset closer to the base unit. You may want to consider moving the base unit to achieve a greater transmission range. Refer to page 6 for instructions.

“I hear a tone while I am using my handset, and the battery symbol on the display looks empty.”

The battery needs to be recharged. Put the handset into the charging cradle of the base unit until the battery symbol looks full

. It may take up to 15 hours to fully recharge.

“I just recharged the batteries, but I still get a warning that they are not charged.”

The batteries may need to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries gradually lose their ability to be recharged as they get older. Replace the batteries with two rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AAA size).

“The handset does not ring when a call comes in.”

• Check that you have not turned off the ringer volume level. Refer to page 11 for instructions.

• Check that the total REN value of all equipment connected to your telephone line is not more than

4. You may need to disconnect one or more telephones to see if this helps.

“The caller display feature is not working”

You must subscribe for caller ID services through your telephone network provider for the caller ID to display on your ThermoDECT telephone. Please check with your provider.

“The caller display works but the caller’s name does not display even when I am sure the caller is using the same number that I entered in the phone book.”

If the caller’s number does not exactly match what you have entered in your phone book, including the STD code and any prefixes, the phone book cannot match the name to the caller ID. Check the phone book to make sure the full number is stored there.

“I pressed the phone button several times, but keep getting the busy tone and cannot get the blue LED light to display on the base unit.”

Your handset may no longer be registered with the base unit. Unplug the AC power source from the bottom of the base unit, then plug it back in. Press and hold the PAGE button until the blue IN USE light flashes. Then, follow the instructions on page 16 to re-register your handset.

“I keep hearing a short beep on my handset, and the display is flashing the word ‘Base’.”

Your handset may temporarily lose its synchronization with the base unit due to radio interference in your area. When this happens, you will hear a beep and see the word Base while the base unit switches to another channel to overcome the interference. You can move closer to the base unit to help reduce your telephone’s susceptibility to radio interference. If you do not wish to hear the beep tone, you can turn it off following the instructions on page 12.

Problems with multi-handset use

“I’m having problems registering a new handset.”

• Sometimes it helps to unplug and then reconnect your base unit to its AC power source before you start the registration procedure.

• Make sure you have selected a base number that is not already assigned. Choose a number that does not have a [

] check mark next to it.

• You may have already registered 5 handsets to the base unit. If so, you will need to remove one or add another base unit before you can register the new handset.

• If you are replacing a faulty handset, make sure you have fully removed the faulty one before registering the new one. Refer to the instructions on page 16 for more information.

• If you are still experiencing problems, you may need to reset all the registrations, then start over. Refer to page 16 for instructions.

“I cannot make a call.”

Only one outside call and one intercom call can take place at the same time. Make sure no one else is already using the phone; if so, you will see the EXT symbol on the handset display area, and will hear the busy tone when you try to place a call.

Problems with programming

“I changed the PIN, and I’ve forgotten the new one.”

Please refer to page 14 for instructions on resetting the PIN number.

“I tried to register a new handset, and now all the handsets are flashing “Base” and I can not use the telephone.”

Reset your telephone, then try the registration process again. If you are still experiencing problems, reset all your handsets and base units following the instructions on page 16, then re-register the handsets.

Problem with remote sensors

“The telephone cannot find a remote sensor.”

Check the sensor batteries, channel number, and location.
