Battery Packs

Overview

Indications of low battery

Caution:

Battery Pack removal and

replacement

The wireless telephone will need to have its Battery Pack (PTS360)
recharged periodically. The Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
rechargeable wireless telephone Battery Pack gives you four hours
of talk time or 80 hours of stand-by time. Stand-by time is when the
phone is turned on, but you are not using it.

The wireless telephone will notify you when the charge on the
Battery Pack becomes low. If the wireless telephone is in use, the
BATT message will display and you will hear a soft beep through the
earpiece every six seconds. You have two minutes to complete the
call or change the Battery Pack.

The Battery Pack can be changed while the call is still in progress.
Do not press END. Quickly remove the discharged Battery Pack
and replace with a charged Battery Pack, press PWR, and then press
START to resume the call in progress.

If the wireless telephone is idle, you will hear a brief modulated ring
signal and the Low Battery message will display. Your wireless
telephone will not operate until you replace the Battery Pack.

Depending on the charging equipment you have purchased, you will
either place the wireless telephone in a Charging Stand to charge the
Battery Pack, or you will remove the Pack from the wireless
telephone and install it in the Charger.

Take care not to short the battery contacts on the Battery Pack with
metal objects such as coins, keys or paper clips. Shorting the
contacts can cause permanent damage.

To remove the Battery Pack, press down on the oval button above
the Battery Pack on the back of the wireless telephone. Slide the
Pack toward the bottom of the wireless telephone until it stops,
then lift up.

To replace the Battery Pack, first properly align the top of the
Battery Pack with the arrows on the label on the back of the
wireless telephone. Gently press and slide the Pack toward the top
of the wireless telephone until it snaps into place. You should not
have to force it against the wireless telephone.

Important:

Part Number: 72-0075-09-C.doc Page 10

Link Dual Charger

Link Wireless Telephone
In PTC400 Dual Charger

Overview

The Link Dual Charger is a two-slot desktop charger designed to
charge the model PTS360 Battery Pack. The handset is placed in the
front compartment and a single spare Battery Pack may be placed in
the rear slot. Either slot can be chosen to take priority (the first
Battery Pack placed into either slot is charged first) so that the
handset is always ready for use. Full charging is accomplished in
approximately two hours for each Battery Pack. The Link Dual
Charger will only charge Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery
Packs.

The Link Dual Charger will only successfully charge NiMH Battery
Packs with a YELLOW label on the handset contact side. If the
indicator light is flashing with a Battery Pack or handset in the slot,
check to make sure the Battery Pack has a YELLOW label.

Power supply

Four different models of the power supply for the Link Dual
Charger are available for regional power requirements. The correct
power supply must be ordered separately when the charger is
ordered. If any questions arise, please contact your service
representative.

Set up the Link Dual Charger by placing it on a flat, horizontal
surface in order to ensure proper contact with the Battery Pack
contacts. Connect the power supply to the charger and plug the
power supply into an appropriate wall outlet. The LEDs will light
only when a handset or Battery Pack is inserted into the slots.

Part Number: 72-0075-09-C.doc Page 11

SpectraLink Corporation Link Wireless Telephones and Accessories User Guide

Operation

The user must end any call in progress by pressing the END key on
the handset before placing the handset into the charger. The call
will not automatically terminate when the handset is placed in the
charger. The Battery Pack and handset will only fit into the charger
compartments one way. The handset should be inserted into the
front slot, facing forward. The Battery Pack alone should be
inserted into the rear slot with the side that attaches to the handset
facing to the rear. See the cover photo for the correct orientation.
Correct placement has been achieved when the charging light is
activated. Incorrect placement will not activate the charging light.

Indicator lights

The Link Dual Charger is designed to charge one Battery Pack at a
time. Each charging slot has a red light that indicates its current
mode. The charging lights have the following characteristics: When
both a Battery Pack and a handset are present at the same time, the
first one placed into the charger will begin charging. When it is fully
charged, the second Battery Pack will charge. When the LED
indicator light turns off, the charger is finished charging the Battery
Pack in its slot, indicating that the Battery Pack is ready for use. The
Link Dual Charger will recharge a single NiMH Battery Pack or a

single handset in two hours.

Link Quick Charger

Link PTQ360 Quick Charger
and power supply

Overview

Power supply

LED status indicators

The Link PTQ360 Quick Charger holds a single PTS360 Battery

Pack and can charge it in approximately one hour.

Four different models of the power supply for the Link Quick

Charger are available for regional power requirements. The correct

power supply must be ordered separately when the charger is

ordered. If any questions arise, please contact your service

representative.

Set up the Link Quick Charger by plugging the power supply into the

Link Quick Charger and into an appropriate wall outlet.

A solid red LED above the empty charger slot indicates that the slot

is idle and ready for use. If the LED does not light, check the power

supply and plug connection to the charger. If the charger appears to

be plugged in correctly, make sure the wall outlet has power.

Position the Battery Pack in the charging slot by aligning the top of

the Battery Pack with the tracks on the charging slot then gently

sliding the Battery Pack upward onto the charging slot. While the

Battery Pack is in the charging slot, the LED above the slot will

indicate the status of the charging process and/or the Battery Pack.

Solid Green—the Battery Pack is charging. The Link Quick Charger

takes 60-90 minutes to fully charge a Battery Pack. If the NiMH

Battery Pack is hot or cold when placed in the charger, it may take

longer to charge.

Flashing green—the Battery Pack is fully charged and ready for use.

You may leave a fully charged Battery Pack in the Link Quick

Charger. However, if you remove a fully charged Battery Pack then

replace it in the charger, the charger LED will be solid green until the

charger determines that this Battery Pack is fully charged. It may take

a few minutes to give the flashing green indication.

Solid red or flashing red—the Battery Pack in the charging slot is no

longer capable of retaining a charge and is not usable. If the Battery

Pack will not charge, do not continue to charge the Battery Pack.

Dispose of it properly and do not attempt to use it in the handset.

Do not attempt to open or repair a defective Battery Pack.

Part Number: 72-0075-09-C.doc Page 13

SpectraLink Corporation Link Wireless Telephones and Accessories User Guide

Flashing red/green—there is a problem with either the Battery Pack

or Link Quick Charger. It may mean the Battery Pack being charged

is too hot or too cold. Allow the Battery Pack to stabilize at room

temperature and try again. If the Battery Pack will not charge, do not

continue to charge the Battery Pack. Dispose of it properly and do

not attempt to use it in the handset. Do not attempt to open or

repair a defective Battery Pack. If several different Battery Packs

cause the charger to show a flashing red or red/green LED, the

charger may not be working properly. To verify this, substitute

another Link Quick Charger and repeat the operation that caused the

failure. If the same Battery Pack lights a green LED when inserted in

a different charger, the Link Quick Charger is faulty. Contact your

service representative for assistance.

Flashing yellow—the Link Quick Charger is testing and conditioning

the Battery Pack. This test/condition mode is automatically started

every 11th cycle of the charger. Testing the NiMH high-capacity

Battery Pack takes approximately eight to ten hours. To manually

start the test, press the MODE button. To stop the test, press the

MODE button. However, it is highly recommended that the test be

allowed to complete.

Battery Pack bins

If a handset is to be used during the recharging cycle, fully charged

Battery Packs must always be available. Therefore, it is

recommended that a bin is available to collect discharged Battery

Packs and a second bin for charged Battery Packs. Users can quickly

replace their discharged Battery Pack with a charged one. An

assigned person can recharge the Battery Packs and move them to

the charged bin as they are recharged. It is also recommended that

the bins be non-metallic and clearly labeled to identify whether they

are intended for charged or discharged Battery Packs.

General Care of the Wireless Telephone and Chargers

Do not drop

Do not disassemble

Cleaning tips

Headset cleaning

This section applies to all Link Wireless Telephones and all Link

chargers.

Avoid dropping the wireless telephone or knocking it against hard

surfaces. Carrying the wireless telephone in a holster or carrying

case will help to protect it.

There are no serviceable parts in the wireless telephone or chargers.

You should not open the wireless telephone case nor disassemble

the chargers. Doing so will void your warranty.

Turn off the wireless telephone before you clean it. Never immerse

in water. Clean the exterior surfaces, including the charging

contacts, with a cloth that has been slightly moistened with water.

Take care not to exert undue pressure on charger electrical contacts

while wiping.

Wiping the handset surface with a water-dampened cloth or paper

towel will remove most films or residues. If the soiling is too

stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent solution may be used. Be

sure to wipe away any detergent residue with a clean water-

dampened cloth.

The wireless telephone may be cleaned with any general-purpose

household glass and surface-type cleaner. DO NOT SPRAY THE

HANDSET DIRECTLY!

Pre-treated cloths such as used for eyeglasses or cameras may be

used to clean the handset. Pre-moistened towelettes may also be

used to clean the handset, however, avoid those containing lanolin

or aloe as it will leave a slippery residue.

The surface of the handset may be cleaned occasionally with

disinfectants used for general cleaning in a medical environment.

Isopropyl alcohol may be used occasionally applied by a damp cloth

or paper towel. When using alcohol, do not rub the keypad

characters vigorously. Doing so will significantly degrade legibility.

Do not use furniture polishes, waxes or plasticizer-based cleaner

(Armor All™, etc.)

Do not use lanolin, aloe, glycerin or other skin care type products.

Do not apply any solvent such as acetone, mineral spirits etc.

Do not directly spray or immerse the handset.

Should the headset connector become dirty, a scratchy or

intermittent signal may be experienced. To clean the connector, dip

the non-padded end of either a wooden or paper handled cotton

swab in isopropyl alcohol. Gently insert in the connector and twist,

repeating several times. If available, blow compressed air into the

connector to clear debris.

Safety Information

Wireless Telephones

Changes or modifications to this equipment not approved by SpectraLink Corporation may cause this equipment to
not comply with part 15 of the FCC rules and void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

SpectraLink products contain no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Operational Warnings

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your handset prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove,
install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such as burns if a conductive material such as
jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Electro Magnetic Interference and Compatibility



Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your handset in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm)
be maintained between a handheld, wireless-radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. Persons
with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the handset more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the handset is turned

ON.

• Not carry the handset in a breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

• Turn the handset OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless handsets may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your hearing-aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Part Number: 72-0075-09-C.doc Page 19

SpectraLink Corporation Link Wireless Telephones and Accessories User Guide

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Use While Driving

Campus installations and warehouse facilities that use vehicles such as forklifts or golf carts should abide by
these guidelines when using wireless telephones:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road, aisle, or path.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road, aisle, or path and park before making or answering a call.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag

Do not place a portable handset in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. An airbag inflates
with great force. If a handset is placed in the airbag deployment area and the airbag inflates, the handset may be

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information

Your wireless telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

• ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute

• NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements

• ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection;

• DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada

Those standards were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov

/oet/ea after searching on FCC ID IYGPTB400 or IYGPTB450.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at

http://www.ctia.org/.

The only authorized headsets that may be utilized with the PTB400/410/450 are those obtainable from
SpectraLink or its reseller partners.

The peak SAR values of the PTB400/410/450 wireless telephone are
Head: 0.065 mW/g
Body: 0.022 mW/g
SAR: Frequency range 902 – 927 MHz

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
