Battery Charge

A rechargeable Ni-Cd battery powers the handset. Charge the battery for about 6 hours before initial use (p. 11).

•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.

Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, cellular phone, charging units or another cordless phone.

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

Raise the antennas.

The battery is beneath this cover.

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

(9) \ (REDIAL/PAUSE) \

•Pressing (REDIAL/PAUSE) once creates a 3.5 second pause. This prevents

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.

Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible

(For Australia only)

If you subscribe to Caller ID services, the unit 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’s instructions using (RECALL/PLAYBACK) or (RECALL).

•If the phone number is stored in the directory, the caller’s name will be displayed (p. 30).

•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 for approximately a second. The tones are generated from the telephone company. This is not fault of the product as these events are normal.

•The second caller’s information will not be displayed when:

— the answering system is recording someone’s message, — a parallel connected telephone is in use.

•Please contact Telstra for details and availability in your area.

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.)

Important Information

(For Australia only)

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 the 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.
