Safety information

This equipment is not designed for making emergency
telephone calls when the power fails. Alternative
arrangements should be made for access to emergency
services.

This product may be used legally only in a country where the appropriate authority
has given its specific authorisation. This authorisation appears on a label under
the base station.
The marking on the product certifies its conformity to the technical regulations

for user safety and electromagnetic disturbance which were applicable on the date
of approval in accordance with European Union directive No. N°73/23EEC,
89/336/EEC, 91/263EEC and 93/68EEC.

Power requirements

This product requires an electrical supply of 220-240 volts, alternating
monophased current, excluding IT installations defined in standard EN 60-950.

Warning!

The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the
standard EN60-950.
The only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power cable from the
electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical outlet is located close to the apparatus and
is always easily accessible.
To be able to make calls in the event of a power cut, it is recommended that this

telephone be used as a complement to another telephone which does not require
mains power.

Telephone connection:

The voltage on the network is classified as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network
Voltages, as defined in the standard EN 60-950)

Safety precautions:

•

Do not allow the handset to come into contact with water.

•

Do not open the handset or the base station. This could expose you to high
voltages. Contact our after-sales service for all repairs.

•

Do not allow the charging contacts or the battery to come into contact with
conductive materials such as keys, paper clips, rings, bracelets, etc.

•

Make sure you insert the batteries with their polarities in the correct position
(see page 6).

Installing your Onis

Connecting your phone

Deciding where to put the base station

• To reduce to a minimum any interference with other electronic devices such as

telephones, televisions, screens, etc. we advise you to place your base station at
least 50 cm from any such device.

• Place the base station on a flat surface such as a desk.

• Do not install the base station in a damp or humid room.

• Do not place the base station near a strong source of heat.

The operating range of your cordless telephone will vary according to your
environment. Significant obstacles such as concrete walls or metallic supports
(windows and door frames, partitions, etc.) will lessen the communication range
between the base station and the handset.

The range can be improved by placing the base station higher than the handset.

Connecting the base station

Make sure that you connect the power plug to the correct mains voltage of
220-240V.

2 Step two

Plug the power cable
into the base station
and then into the wall
outlet.

Plug the telephone
cable into the base
station and then into
the telephone
connector on the wall.

1 Step one

Installing your Onis6

Connecting another telephone

(UK only)

If you connect a second telephone (standard telephone) on the same line,
please use a

T-Adaptor

.

Ringer Equivalence Number or REN

(UK only)

Your Onis has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of 1.0 . To determine the
maximum number of telephones that can be connected to your line, add together
the individual RENs of all the apparatus you wish to connect. If this total exceeds
four, one or all of your telephones may not ring correctly.

Charging your handset

Your handset is powered by 2 rechargeable AA/R6 batteries. In case of
replacement, you must use the following approved batteries: PHILIPS R6 NC-P,
Saft RC6.

Never use non rechargeable batteries!

The manufacturer is not

liable if these recommendations are not respected.

Battery installation

Slide down and lift off the battery cover.

Insert the new batteries as shown.

Handset charge

Before you use your telephone for the first time, charge the handset for at
least 16 hours.

This precaution helps to lengthen the life of the batteries.

To charge your handset, place it on the base station. The

b

symbol will appear

on the display to indicate that the handset is charging.

When the

b

symbol disappears, your handset is fully charged.

The base station must be connected to a power supply using the power cable
supplied with your phone.

Handset discharge

Shortly before the handset is totally discharged, the

b

symbol appears on the

handset display. If you are in the middle of a call, you will also hear a warning beep.

The handset will switch itself off shortly afterwards. You will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again.

Testing your telephone

Now that your telephone is installed, try making a call.

•

Press t on the handset. The t symbol appears on the display and you hear
the dial tone.

•

Dial the number. The digits you dial appear on the display and the dial tone
should stop.

If you have problems making your test call, make sure that the telephone cord is
correctly plugged into the telephone network socket and into the base station
socket, that the base station is plugged into a power outlet, and that the base
station light is on.

If your base station is correctly connected but the dial tone does not stop when you
dial the number, you need to change the dial mode. To do this refer to

“Setting the

dial mode”

on page 23.

Tips

- To ensure an optimum handset charge, replace the handset on the
base station regularly.

- The keypad can face upwards or downwards. However, the ringing
tone is louder when the keypad faces downwards.
