Getting started

Location

You need to place your Telstra 7200/7200a 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 7200/7200a 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.

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.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover and

insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into

cover back into place.

3. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by

placing it on the base. The screen will show the

standby display and a scrolling battery icon to

show that the handset is charging.

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.

Battery performance

To keep your batteries in the best condition, 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.

Battery low warning

When the battery charge is low the handset battery
icon will be empty and fl ashing. Place the handset
back on the base to recharge.

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. See ‘Battery
performance’ table.

Getting started

Handset range

The Telstra 7200/7200a works by sending radio signals
between the handset and the base. Any source of
interference between the handset and base may
impact on the range you obtain from your cordless
telephone. In ideal conditions your Telstra 7200/7200a
has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is
a clear line of sight between the base and the handset.
With the base indoors and handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres.
Any obstruction between the base and handset will
reduce the range signifi cantly. Thick stone walls can
severely affect the range.

Under no circumstances use non
rechargeable batteries. Only use NiMH
rechargeable batteries with a capacity of
550mAh or higher. Using inappropriate
batteries will invalidate your guarantee
and may damage the telephone.
