4. Technical specifications

Standard: Digital Enhanced Cordless

Telecommunications (DECT) Operating Frequency: 1880-1900 MHz Range: 300 m outdoors and 50 m indoors, in

ideal conditions Operating duration: 100 hours standby time

10 hours of talk time Operating temperature: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) Storage temperature: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) Rechargeable batteries: 2 x NiMH 1.2V (AAA) each Base voltage: 100-240V / 50/60Hz

III. Getting started

1. Location

You need to install the 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 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

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

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

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. Turning on

When turning on your phone for the first time, you are asked to indicate the country in which you are using it: select the country using the ▲/▼ scrolling keys, then confirm with Menu/OK.

9. 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 upon each call received. If you do not subscribe to this service, you can set the date and time manually.

Manually setting the date and time

1. Press 'MENU', then ▼ to display 'Clock & Alarm'. Press

‘Select’, the screen displays 'Date & Time'. Press ‘Select’

again.

2. Enter the date in DD-MM-YY format, for example 04-11-10

for 4 November 2010.

3. Press ‘Save’ and enter the time in 24-hour, HH-MM

format. For example, 14-45 for 14:45 or 2:45pm.

4. Press ‘Save’ to confirm. You can either wait a few seconds

for the display to return to standby or press ‘Back’ twice.

The time that you entered will now be displayed in the top right of the screen.

Your Colombo Combo telephone is now ready for use.

10. Mains power failure, base only

If you have a mains power failure, you can still use your base to make and receive telephone calls. The phone will ring when you receive an incoming call in power failure mode but the

display will not light up and the caller’s details will not be

stored in the calls list. You will not be able to use the other features and functions of the base or the handset until mains power is restored.
