Making cost-effective calls
Make phone calls through a network provider who offers particularly low-cost call
rates (call-by-call). You can manage the
numbers in the call-by-call list.
Linking call-by-call numbers
with one number
You can insert the dialling code of a network
provider ahead of the number ("linking").
You can store a call-by-call number (preselection number), which is automatically
placed in front of numbers when you dial
them.
In the "With Preselect" list, specify the dialling codes or the first digits of the dialling
codes with which you wish the preselection
number to be used.
In the "Without Presel." list enter the exception to the "With Preselect" list.
Example:
Preselect-No.0999
With Preselect08
Without Presel.081
All numbers that start with 08 except for 081
and 084 are dialled with the preselection
number 0999.

The general mailbox is the default setting.
Anyone can access this mailbox and it cannot be protected by a PIN. You can additionally set up three personal mailboxes and
protect these with a PIN. Each mailbox is
identified by a name and a "mailbox ID" (a
kind of extension number).
Please note:
u If you operate a number of devices (base
stations) with SMS functionality on a single phone line, then each SMS mailbox ID
may only occur once. In this case you
must also change the preset ID of the
general mailbox ("0").
u You can only use personal mailboxes if
your service provider supports this function. You can tell whether this is the case
by the addition of a star (*) to the number
of a (preset) SMS centre.

you can reset it by restoring the base station's default settings. This will delete all

Reduced energy consumption
By using an energy-saving power supply,
your telephone consumes less power.
Reducing radiation
The radiation from your telephone is
reduced automatically:
The closer the handset is to the base, the
lower the radiation.
You can reduce the radiation from the handset and base even more by using Eco Mode:
u Eco Mode
Reduces the radiation of the base station
and handset by 80% - whether you are
making a call or not. Eco Mode reduces
the range of the base station by approx.
50%. Using Eco Mode always makes
sense when a reduced range is sufficient.
Switching off radiation
u Eco Mode +
When you activate Eco Mode +, radiation
(DECT transmission power) from the base
and handset is switched off in the idle
state.
This is also true when multiple handsets
are used, provided the handsets support

Using a handset as a
room monitor
If the room monitor is activated, a previously
saved destination number is called as soon
as a set noise level is reached. You can save
an internal or external number in your handset as the destination number.
The room monitor call to an external
number stops after around 90 seconds. The
room monitor call to an internal number
(handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes
(depending on the base station). When the
room monitor is activated, all keys are locked
except the end call key. The handset's
speaker is muted.
When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indicated with-out a ringer and are only shown on the
screen. The display and keypad are not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned
off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor is suspended for the duration of the
call, but the function remains activated.
If you deactivate then reactivate the handset, the room monitor remains activated.
Warning
u You should always check the opera-
tion of the room monitor before use.
For example, test its sensitivity.
Check the connection if you are
diverting the room monitor to an
outside number.
u When the function is switched on, the
handset's operating time is considerably reduced. If necessary, place the
handset in the charging cradle. This
ensures that the batteries do not run
down.
u Ideally the handset should be posi-
tioned 1 to 2 metres away from the

Caring for your telephone
u Wipe the base, charging cradle and the
handset with a damp cloth (do not use
solvent or a microfiber cloth) or an anti-static cloth.
u Impairments in the high-gloss finish can
be carefully removed using display polishes for mobile phones.
Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset should come into contact with
liquid:
1. Switch the handset off and remove the battery immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
3. Pat all parts dry, then place the handset
with the battery compartment open and
the keypad facing down in a dry, warm
place for at least 72 hours (not in a microwave, oven etc.).
4. Do not switch on the handset again un-til it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will usually
be able to use it again.
In rare cases, contact with chemical substances can cause changes to the telephone's exterior. Due to the wide variety of
chemical products available on the market,
it was not possible to test all substances.
