Safety notes/Contents of the package

The DECT cordless telephone is used for transmitting voice via the analogue telephone network. The User Guide and its safety notes are an integral part of the equipment and must be handed over to the new owner when reselling the equipment.

Safety notes

Warning!

Use only nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH AAA) batteries, preferably with more than 650 mAh.

Using other types of rechargeable batteries or ordinary batteries (i.e. non-rechargeable) can be dangerous and also lead to malfunctions of and/or damage to the set. The manufacturer accepts no liability in such cases.

• Make sure the correct battery type is set and the batteries are fitted correctly.

• Do not dip the batteries in water; do not throw them into the fire.

• Batteries can become warm when being charged; this is a normal and harmless process.

• To avoid damage to the batteries, do not use charging stations from other manufacturers.

• For the base station and the charging bay use only the power supply unit supplied.

• Before using the telephone, hearing- aid users should note that radio signals interfere with hearing aids and cause an unpleasant humming noise if sufficiently loud.

Warning!

Please note that the ringtone for incoming calls as well as alert tones, handsfree and listening by loudspeaker tones are also emitted on the handset. Do not therefore hold the handset close to your ear while one of these functions is on, otherwise your hearing may be affected.

Contents of the package

The package contains the following items:

• Handset

• 3 NiMH (AAA) battery cells

• Base station

• Mains adapter

• Connection cord

• User manual incl. Quick Reference Guide

Accessories

The following accessories are available from Swisscom outlets:

• Additional handsets with base station

• Additional base stations

Page 13

Setting up the telephone and putting it into service

Suitable location

Your telephone is designed for normal use in domestic and office buildings. Keep the following points in mind when selecting a location for it:

Suitable

• In the centre of your radius of action

• At least 1 m distance between the base station resp. handset or telephone and other electronic devices

Unsuitable

• On a metallic surface or an underlay prone to slipping

• Near electronic devices (e.g. HiFi equipment, TV, microwaves)

• Near sources of radiation (e.g. radiators, direct sunlight)

• Behind steel doors, or glass doors with metal mesh

• In niches or shielded rooms

• Without an underlay on painted or lacquered furniture or on plastics

Range

The operating range is as follows:

• Outdoors approx. 250 m

• Indoors approx. 40 m, depending on ambient conditions and buildingrelated factors

Outside the operating range:

• Range warning beep sounds (if switched on)

• Disconnection of the call

Note:

Silent zones within the operating range, depending on the structural environment, may cause brief interruptions to a call or loss of the connection.

Protection against listening-in

Between the base station and the handset, calls are transmitted in encrypted form to prevent the possibility of listening in with other cordless telephones, radio receivers or scanners.

Page 14

20400025en_ba_a0

Setting up the telephone and putting it into service

Connecting the base station

Warning:

Make sure you do not confuse the plugs of the telephone line cable and the plug-in power supply cord on the base station.

• If you do connect the plugs the wrong way round, the base station will not function and may be damaged.

Telephone line cable

The telephone line cable has two different plugs:

1. Insert the smaller plug into the socket (telephone icon) underneath your telephone until the plug snaps firmly into place.

2. Feed the cord through the moulded cable duct provided.

3. Connect the larger plug to your telephone socket.

Power supply cable

1. Insert the plug of the power supply cable into the socket marked with the power supply icon until the plug clicks into place.

2. Feed the cable through the cable duct provided.

3. Connect the plug-in power supply to a 230V outlet.

Note:

Your telephone will not function if the power supply is not plugged in or if the power fails. The telephone may only be used in conjunction with a power supply SNG 6 af, tested in compliance with EN60950 Protection Class 2.

Base station

Disconnecting the cables from the base station

1. First unplug the power supply from the 230V mains socket.

2. To release the plugs, press the snap-in clip towards the plug body (e.g. using a small screwdriver) and at the same time pull the plug out by the cable.

Setting up the telephone and putting it into service

Charging the batteries

The batteries are in a discharged state when supplied; they will first need to be charged:

1. Place the handset in the base station or the charging bay.

An acknowledgement sound indicates that the handset is correctly positioned.

Note:

Do not use ordinary batteries.

Do not place the handset in the charging bay if the batteries have not been fitted.

Before initial use, batteries have to be charged without interruption for at least 12 hours in the case of NiMH batteries.

Only remove the batteries from the handset to replace them with new ones.

Do not charge the batteries out of the handset.

Battery endurance between charging

A set of NiMH batteries provides approx.:

• 150 hrs standby

• 15 hrs talk time

Note:

Make sure you select the correct battery type. See section "Handset settings". Charging contacts must not come into contact with metallic or greasy parts.

After long periods out of operation with the power switched off (e.g. during holidays) the batteries will need recharging before the set can be operated again.

Battery indicator

When the batteries are first inserted, the battery status is unclear. A correct indication in the display is obtained only after a complete charging cycle.

a flowing: battery charging a continuous: battery between 70%

and 100%

b continuous: battery between 50%

and 70%

c continuous: battery between 30%

and 50%

d continuous: battery between 5%

and 30%

e continuous: battery below 5% e flashing: battery almost

discharged

f continuous: battery status unclear f flashing: battery status unclear

and almost discharged

Note:

If the charge state of the batteries approaches 5%, a warning beep sounds.

Disposal

Please dispose of rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly manner (no household waste).

Log on

On base station

Using several handsets

The telephone allows you to operate up to 6 handsets on one base station. You can make two internal calls between two handsets and at the same time one subscriber can also make an outside call. Each additional handset must be logged onto the base station and allocated an internal number. Each internal subscriber number (1-6) can only be allocated once. It is shown on the handset display in standby state.

Note:

If during operation with several handsets one of the handsets has already seized the external line, the busy tone sounds in the second handset. You can still make internal calls. Each handset can be logged on at up to 4 base stations (A–D).

Preparing the base station for log on

●

Press the internal key at the base station for five seconds.

The connection indicator on the base station (red light 1) starts flashing. For 60 seconds the base station is now ready to enable you to log on a handset.

Logging a handset on

If the base station has been prepared, you can log the handset on the base station:

1. Key in the base station PIN or "0000" (default setting).

2. Key in the new internal call number (1–6) for the handset.

3. Determine the designation of the base station (A–D).

4. Press YES.

If log on was successful, the respective letter (A–D) appears on the base station display.

Note:

If the internal call number is seized a second time, the handset first logged onto it is logged off. If the logging-on process fails, the respective letter on the base station display continues to flash. In order to log a handset on you need to be within range of the base station.

Logging on via paging key, Top A412

To log on via the paging key, you must hold the key down for at least 5 seconds until the second signal tone is heard (in the case of the Top A312, after the first signal tone is heard) and the LED is flashing rapidly. The base station switches to log-on mode.

Logging a handset onto another base station (GAP)

To log your handset onto a third-party base station (other base station), the handset must support the GAP generic access profile. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when preparing the other base station for log on.

Prepare the handset:

1. Enter the 4-8 digit access code (AC) of the previously prepared base station (e.g. 12345).

2. Key in the designation of the base station (A–D).

3. Press YES.

4. Log the other handset on according to its instructions.

Note:

The base station assigns the internal number for the handset automatically. The base station letter (e.g. A) appears in the display to confirm that log on was successful. If log on was unsuccessful, an error tone sounds and the letter A flashes.

GAP functions are described in the section "GAP uses".

Logging another handset onto the base station (GAP)

A third-party handset (other handset) must support the GAP generic access profile in order to be logged onto your base station.

Prepare the base station using the handset:

1. Specify a 4 to 8 digit access code (AC), (e.g. 12345).

2. Key in the new internal number (1–6) of the other handset.

3. Press YES.

4. Log the other handset on according to its instructions.

Note:

If the internal number used has previously been allocated for logging on, the handset first logged on will be logged off.

Log off

Using several handsets

GAP uses

Your telephone supports the multi-vendor DECT GAP protocol (GAP = Generic Access Profile). To be able to log it onto another base station, the latter must support the GAP protocol. Among others the following functions are available:

• Outgoing calls from the handset

• Taking incoming calls

• Internal calls from handset to handset

Logging a handset off from a base station

To log a handset off from a base station:

1. Select the handset which you want to log off.

2. Press OK.

Successful log off is signalled in the display.

Note:

To log a handset off, you must be in the vicinity of the base station. You can only log off other handsets using the handset Top A312/Top A412, not using the other handset itself.

Page 43

20400025en_ba_a0

Using several handsets

In addition to your own base station, you can operate your handset on up to three further base stations.

Application example

You have a telephone at home and use an identical handset at your workplace. You can now also use the handset from the cordless telephone at work on the base station at home and vice versa. Of course, incoming and outgoing calls are possible only within the range of the particular base station. There is no handover to another base station (Roaming).

Specifying the configuration

The handsets must be logged onto the base station at home and onto the base station at work. Specify one letter (A, B, C or D) in each case for the base station at home and one for the base station at work. Next allocate one internal subscriber number (1 to

6) to each of your handsets.

Note:

The radio cells can overlap partly. Incoming calls will only be forwarded to your handset if the corresponding base station is selected. If the handset is not in radio contact with the base station, the corresponding letter will flash in the display.

Note:

Place the monitoring handset within approximately 1–3 meters of the child. Only one destination handset can be defined. Incoming calls are not displayed on the monitoring handset if the destination is defined as internal. If the external destination number is busy, it is redialled after a defined time. The call must be terminated by the external user. Both handsets must be within range and the battery cells must be charged up.

Recommendation:

The "Babyphone" function should be simulated every time before it is used. On the monitoring handset all acoustic signals need to be off (e.g. radio signals). If both handsets are in the same room, this may produce undesirable feedback.

Introduction

This section applies only if you have an Top A412 (with answering machine).

The answering machine is controlled exclusively via the handset. It can only be switched on or off from the base station.

Thanks to the standard outgoing message (plug & play) your answering machine is immediately operational. All you need to do is to switch it on. The answering machine can be operated from the base station, the handset or by remote access via the network. If the answering machine is operated from the handset, the display indicates the number of the incoming message stored, the time and date it was left, and the telephone number of the caller.

Functions

• There are two different operating modes: – Outgoing message with recording – Answer only without recording

• The number of rings after which the answering machine switches itself on can be set to between 2 and 9 rings or to "Economy funcion"

• Enable or disable operation of the answering machine using remote access

• Standard outgoing message (preprogrammed outgoing message)

• Monitoring of incoming messages

• Adjustable length of incoming messages

Note:

Recording of the outgoing message is limited to 30 seconds.

Setting the answering machine

Characteristics

• Total recording time up to 22 minutes

• Automatic recording quality, i.e. the recording quality drops as the length of the recording time increases.

• Digital recording

• No maintenance required

Note:

Your answering machine cannot work if there is a power failure; however, the messages previously left and the outgoing messages remain saved.

Date and time

Your telephone registers time and date of the recorded messages and shows this information in the handset display. To set time and date, see the section "Base station settings".
