Getting started

Location

You need to place your Telstra 6100/6100a close enough to 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.

WARNING Do not place your Telstra 6100/6100a in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Your Telstra 6100/6100a 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

Handset range The handset reception range from the base is up to 300m outdoors and up to 50m indoors. Thick walls can severely affect the range.

Range indicator The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Then plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket

and switch the power on. The light on the base lights up.

IMPORTANT Do not connect the telephone line until the handset(s) is fully charged. The base must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Which socket? Power socket Telephone line socket

Getting started

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 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 Telstra6100/6100a base unit and the other end

into the wall socket.

6SXO-Y\N

Your Telstra 6100/6100a is now ready for use.

Battery performance When batteries are fully charged the display shows the battery is full. 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 purchased through TecHelp on 1300 369 193 or from your local electrical retailer.

Battery low warning When the battery charge is low the handset battery icon will show empty. Place the handset back on the base to recharge.

Replacing batteries Use only rechargeable 550mAh or higher AAA NiMH batteries.

Talk/Standby time Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give up to 10 hours

talk time or 100 hours standby on a single charge.

Getting started

Telstra 6100/6100a Multi-pack (Only) setting up

If you have purchased a Telstra 6100/6100a Multi-pack you will need to install the additional handset(s)

charger(s) as follows: -

Location

You need to place your Telstra 6100/6100a charger unit close enough to a mains power socket so that

the cable will reach.

Setting up the charger

1. Plug the power adaptor cable (red AC adaptor plug) into the underside of the charger unit.

2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains socket and switch the power on.

3. Install the batteries supplied and charge as per the instructions on page 5.

Wall mounting your Telstra 6100/6100a

Your Telstra 6100/6100a main base unit (or extension handset charger if you have purchased one) can

be wall mounted directly on to a wall.

1. Remove the desk stand from the back of the base unit or extension charger by pressing down on clip

(A) and slide forward (B) the desk stand to reveal the mounting holes located under the base unit or

charger.

2. Using the template on page 27, drill 2 holes in your desired location. These holes should be made

25mm deep using a 3mm diameter drill.

NOTE: Check and ensure before drilling that you will not be drilling into any hidden wiring or pipes.

3. Insert the wall plugs and insert a screw into each hole. Leave 3mm between the head of the screw and

the wall.

4. Position the base unit or extension charger on to the screws and slide down to secure.
