III. Getting started

1. Location

You need to install the telephone base less than 2m from an
electrical outlet and a telephone jack.
Ensure that the base is at least 1m away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
The telephone works by sending radio signals between the base
and the handset. Signal strength depends on where the base is
sited. Placing it high ensures a stronger signal.

2. Handset range

Your TELEFUNKEN telephone has a range of 300m outdoors
when there is a clear line of sight between the base and the
handset.
Any obstacle between the base and the handset seriously
reduces the range.
If the base is indoors and the handset is either indoors or
outdoors, the range is up to 50m. Very thick walls can affect the
range.

3. Signal strength

The symbol on your handset indicates when you are in

10

range. When the handset is out of range, the screen displays
SEARCHING, the symbol flashes and the handset emits a

warning tone each minute. This tone is repeated as long as the
handset is out of range.

If you go out of range while on a call, the call will drop. Go back
within range before making any further calls. The handset will
reconnect with the base automatically.

4. Connection to the base

Plug the transparent connector of the power adapter into the
place marked underneath the base, and plug the other end

into a wall outlet.

5. Connecting the handset

1. Insert the 2 AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the
handset. Slide the battery compartment cover back into
place.

2. Place the handset in the base, and leave it to charge for
at least 24 hours. Make sure it is inserted in the right
direction. When the handset is charged, the symbol is
displayed.

3. After 24 hours, plug the telephone cord into the base
and into the telephone wall jack.

11

6. Low battery warning

If the symbol flashes on the screen, you must recharge the
handset before using it again. While it is charging, the
symbol will scroll across the screen.

7. Battery life

Under ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about
10 hours of talk time and 100 hours of standby on a single
charge.

Note : New batteries do not reach full capacity until they have
been in normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in optimal condition, leave the handset
off the base for several hours at a time.
Draining the batteries at least once per week will help them to
last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of the batteries decreases with time and
use, thus reducing talk/standby time. They should be replaced
at this point.
Batteries and the handset may become warm during charging.
This is normal.

8. Date and time

If you subscribe to your telephone operator's Caller ID service,
the date and time will be automatically set on all the handsets

12

upon each call received.
