Getting started
Location
Place your Telstra Slim Touch 9650 within 2
metres of the mains power socket 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 Slim Touch 9650 works by sending radio
signals between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you
locate the base.
Putting it as high as possible ensures the best
signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base
station, plug the other end of the mains power
cable into mains power wall socket and switch
the power on.

12 Please ensure that the polarity plug is
inserted correctly.
13 Do not immerse the battery in water,

Getting started Getting started
During charging, the will appear to be filling
in the display.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery
should give up to 10 hours talk time, or 100 hours
standby time, on a single charge.
Note that a new battery will not reach full
capacity until it has been in normal use for
several days.
To keep the battery in the best condition, leave
the handset off the base for a few hours at a
time.
Running the battery right down at least once
a week will help it last as long as possible. The
charge capacity of the rechargeable battery
will reduce with time as it wears out, giving the
handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually it will need to be replaced. A
replacement battery pack can be obtained by
contacting TecHelp on 1300 369 193 or from your
local electrical retailer.
After charging your handset for the first time,
subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours
a day. The battery and handset may become
warm during charging, however, this is normal.
Setting up for multiple packs
If you have purchased a Telstra Slim Touch
9650 multiple pack, you will need to prepare
additional handsets and chargers for use.

3. Place the handset on the base to charge for
at least 24 hours. When the handset is fully
charged the will be displayed.
The Charging LED lighting up indicates that the
handset is properly placed on the base.
4. When the battery is fully charged, plug one
end of the telephone line cord into the base
station and the other end into the telephone
wall socket.
WARNING
Do not place your Telstra Slim Touch 9650 in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the
mains power socket at all times. Do not connect
the telephone line until the handset is fully
charged. Only use the power adaptor, telephone
cables and NiMH battery pack supplied with the
product.
