may need to add a pause in the dialling sequence.
For example:
9 - PABX code for an outside line
p – Pause inserted in dialing sequence
9PXXX XXXX - Rest of phone number

rechargeable batteries are available from the TecHelp line on 1300 369
193.
● Do not open the handset (except to replace the handset batteries) or

You need to place your Telstra 5200/5200a base unit within 2
metres of a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
Your Telstra 5200/5200a works by sending radio signals between
the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on
where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible can help to
provide the best signal.

adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch the power on.
The POWER/IN USE light on the base lights up.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the 2 x AAA
NiMH batteries supplied into the handset. Slide the battery
compartment cover back into place.
3. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing it on the
base. The red charging indicator light on the base comes on.
The screen will show the standby display and a scrolling battery
icon to show that the handset is charging.
4. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your Telstra
5200/5200a base unit and the other end into the wall socket.

Battery performance
To keep your batteries
in the best conditions,
leave the handset off
the base for a few hours
at a time (after the
initial 16 hour charge).
Please note however,
that new NiMH
batteries do not reach
full capacity until they
have been in normal
use for several days.
Running the batteries
right down at least
once a week will help
them last as long as
possible.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries
will reduce with time
as they wear out, so
reducing the talk/
standby time of the
handset.
Eventually they will
need to be replaced.
New batteries can be
obtained from the
TecHelp on 1300 369
193 or your nearest
electrical retailer.
