Range / Location

To obtain the best possible range, we recommend positioning the telephone in a location central to your sphere of activity. Avoid positioning the telephone in niches, recesses and behind steel doors. The maximum range between base station and handset is approximately 900 feet outdoors. Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be smaller. Silent zones can occur due to the digital transmission in the frequency range used – even within the range, depending on the structural environment. In this case the transmission quality may be reduced through the increased incidence of short breaks in transmission. Normal call quality can be restored if you move slightly out of the silent zone. If the range is exceeded, the call will be disconnected unless you move back into range within ten seconds.

Battery advice

Use only the original battery (Li-Ion 3.7 V / 550 mAh) as well as the original power supply (7.5 VDC, 300mA).

The handset operating times (standby 150 hours/active 10 hours) and charging times apply only if the battery is charged to the defined minimum capacity.

Charging is electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging and care of battery in different charge states. Full capacity is achieved only after several charging cycles.

Note: Using other rechargeable battery or non-rechargeable battery/primary cells can be dangerous and cause malfunctions or damage to the telephone. Do not short-circuit the battery (danger). In particular, avoid inadvertent shortcircuits during storage and transport e.g. bunch of keys, metal panels or similar objects, and make sure the battery do not come into contact with greasy materials. When not in the handset, therefore, battery should be stored only in insulating packaging. Ensure also that the contacts do not touch greasy parts. Rechargeable battery can become warm while recharging. This is a normal occurrence and is not dangerous.

Insert the battery

The battery compartment is situated in the handset. Open the handset cover. Insert the battery in the battery compartment. Replace the handset cover.

Make sure you install the battery pack and fit the cover the right way round:

- position the 3 metal contacts of the battery pack against the 3 blade contacts,

- align the green dot on the handset with the one on the cover.
