After several seconds the base and handset will have ‘found’ each other
and the display of the handset will show the internal number of that handset
(1-5); the handset is now registered

13.3 TIPS FOR MULTIPLE HANDSETS:

• Instructions for dialling and incoming calls are identical for all handsets

of the PDX-2708 / PDX-2728 series.

• Intercom calls are free of charge.

• When receiving an external call during an intercom call, the handsets

will emit a notication tone. Disconnect the internal call, wait for the
regular ringtone to sound and answer the external call. In case you’ve
registered more than 2 handsets on the base, you can also answer the

outside call using any free handset.

• When an outside call is being received, all handsets will start ringing.

The handset that’s the rst to answer the call will be connected with the

outside line.

13.4 DE-REGISTERING HANDSETS:

Defect or lost handsets must be de-registered:

1. press the button

2. use the

and

buttons to select the [ BAS INST ] option

3. press the button

4. use the

and

buttons to select the [ HS AFMEL ] option

5. press the button

6. use the keypad to enter the PIN code

7. press the button

8. use the

and

14 TIPS AND WARNINGS

14.3 PLACEMENT:

• Preferably, do not place the device on surfaces that have been

treated with cellulose; the rubber feet can leave traces on these.

• Do not place the phone in the direct vicinity of other phones or other

electronic (medical) devices, TL tubes and other gas discharge
lamps; the emitted radio waves of these (and other) wireless
phone(s) may disrupt the functioning of the equipment, or the emitted
signals of the equipment disrupt the functioning of the phone.

14.4 RANGE:

• The range of the phone is up to 300 meters in the open field and

up to 50 meters inside; the range depends on local circumstances.
When you get out of reach of the base station, the symbol will start

flashing and the text [ ZOEKEN ] appears on the display. In this state,
you cannot receive or make any calls. In case the power supply

adapter of the base station is unplugged from the mains socket, the

handset will lose contact with the base station, the display will display
[ ZOEKEN ], and the antenna symbol will start flashing. The handset
will restore contact with the base station within several minutes after
the power supply adapter has been plugged in again.

14.5 POWER SUPPLY HANDSET:

• The display of the handset is provided with a built-in battery capacity

meter ( ). When the battery symbol is full, the batteries are

charged; when the battery symbol is empty or only half full, the

batteries should be recharged.

• For optimal use, we recommend you to place the handset onto the

charger every evening. This does not have an adverse effect on the

rechargeable batteries.

43

14.6 HEARING AIDS:

• Users of older generation hearing aids always shall keep into account

a possible uncomfortable buzzing tone when using DECT phones.

14.7 MEDICAL EQUIPMENT:

• It is possible that enabled DECT phones interfere with sensitive

medical equipment. When the phone is kept in the vicinity of the
medical device, interference can occur. Do not place a DECT phone
on or near a medical device, not even when it is in standby mode.

14.8 POWER FAILURE:

• This phone obtains its power supply from the mains power. In case of

failure of the mains power, this phone cannot be used.

14.9 EAVESDROPPING:

• Eavesdropping on a DECT phone is virtually impossible. Not only

shall one be within reach of the DECT phone, one also needs
expensive equipment.

15 POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

15.1 POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

• No dialling tone.

− The outside line is being used by another unit. Wait until that call

has ended and try again.

− Check the connection between the base and you telephone

socket (when in doubt, connect a different phone to your

telephone socket).

• The power supply is interrupted.

− Check whether the adaptor below at the rear of the base is

plugged in and that the power adaptor is connected with a wall

socket.

15.2 PROBLEMS WITH INCOMING CALLS:

• No notification of incoming calls:

− The bell is disabled; enable it.

− Check the connection between the phone and your telephone

socket (when in doubt, connect a different phone to your tele­phone socket)

• You are continuously busy:

− Check whether you have a 2nd telephone with the receiver next to

it.

− Check whether another handset registered on your telephone is

keeping the line busy.

− Connect another phone to your phone connection, and use this to

check whether the malfunction originates from your connection or

your carrier.

• Handset switches itself off when it starts ringing:

− The batteries cannot supply power for the ringtone. Clean the bat-

tery contacts or replace the batteries.

45

15.3 PROBLEMS DURING CALLING:

• Beep tones during an intercom call:

− You are called from outside during an intercom call; end this call,

wait until the phone rings normally and answer the call.

• Beep tones during a call:

− The batteries are nearly empty; disconnect the call and replace

the handset onto the base or charger to recharge the batteries

• Noise and other distortions:

− You are getting out of reach of the base station; reduce the

distance.

− There are other electrical devices in the vicinity that interfere with

the radio waves of your phone; try another location.

15.4 PROBLEMS WITH CALLER IDENTIFICATION:

• You do not receive Name or Caller Identification information on the

display:

− Check whether your carrier transmits these signals (you shall

subscribe to this service with some telephone companies).

• You do receive the numbers on the display of your phone, but not the

name.

− The carrier does not forward names; consult your carrier for this.

− The name has not been programmed in the memory of your

phone; program it. (see paragraph 7.3)

15.5 OTHER:

• The display stays blank:

− The batteries are empty , please recharge them

• The handset does not have contact with the base station:

− You are too far from the base station; reduce the distance.

− The base station has been switched off. Check and repair it.

− The handset is not registered with the base station (anymore);

register it (again). (see paragraph 13.2)

46

In case the failure has not been solved with aforementioned solutions:

• Remove the batteries from the handset, and unplug the power

supply adapter and the phone connector from their sockets; connect
everything again after several minutes.

• You can also contact the Profoon service center on phone number

[phone] of with the supplier of this phone.
