Battery Charge
A rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
battery powers the handset. Charge the
battery for about 6 hours before initial
use (p. 11).
•As preventative maintenance, clean the
handset and the base unit charge contacts
with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean
more often if the unit is subject to grease,
dust or high humidity. Otherwise the battery
may not charge properly.
Base Unit Location/Noise
Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using
wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, the recommended base unit location is:
Note:
While using the handset:
•If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from
the receiver. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
•If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.
The battery

How to Use the PAUSE Button

We recommend you press (REDIAL/PAUSE) if a pause is required for
dialling with a PBX or to make a long distance call.
Ex. Line access number (9) (PBX)

misdialling when you redial or dial a stored number.
•Pressing (REDIAL/PAUSE) more than once increases the length of the pause
between numbers.
Automatic Security Code Setting
Each time you place the handset on the base unit, the unit automatically
selects one of more than a million security codes. These codes help
prevent the unauthorized use of your telephone line by another cordless
telephone user.

•To return to the first caller, press (RECALL) again.
•Your telephone company may not support the second caller display feature.
Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible
(For Australia only)
If you subscribe to Caller ID services, your
handset displays a second caller’s information
while talking. After you hear a call-waiting tone,
the caller’s phone number and
“----Waiting----” will be displayed.
You can answer the second call, keeping the first call on hold.
Follow Telstra or your service provider instructions using (RECALL).
•If the phone number is stored in the directory, the caller’s name will be displayed
(p. 21).
•The second caller’s information will not be displayed when a parallel connected
telephone is in use.
•Please contact Telstra or your service provider for details and availability in your
area.
Using Caller ID Type II
When you receive a second call during a conversation, you will hear a signal tone
following the call waiting tone and the conversation will be interrupted or
muted for a short period of time. This is not fault of the product as these events
are normal.
Note: The tones are generated by the telephone company.

Instructions to customer
Installation
Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that
it is a “Permitted Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected
to your telephone service.
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted
Attachment are contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by
plugging it into the line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect
it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone socket
installed in your premises.
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from
the line socket. You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment
into the socket and use your equipment.
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will
have to remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:
1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover.
(See Fig. 1.)
2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)
3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into
the socket recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or
replace the screw with one 5 mm shorter.)
4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

PQQX13462ZA-BM S0802-0
If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after
plugging in your Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone
service consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is
not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a
new socket will need to be installed.
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a
socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone
service. It should be returned to the store where purchased or an
Authorised Service Centre.
Service difficulties
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the
following checks before you call for service:
• Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal
telephone.
• If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your
Permitted Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and
report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.
• If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service
Difficulties and Faults” for attention.
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working
order while it is connected to your telephone service. Its construction or
internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.
WARNING
This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for
secrecy of conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other
cordless telephone systems in close proximity may be used by a third
party to monitor and possibly interrupt conversations in progress when
this system is on radio operation.
