SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your new Telstra Colombo Neue handset is intended for use within Australia for
connection to the public telephone network. Please read the safety precautions
and user guide carefully before installing the telephone.

The user guide is a part of the product package and must be passed on to a new
owner.

Caution: Warning/danger statement, follow safety precautions!

• The ambient temperature must be between 5 °C and 40 °C.

• Please note that the ringer for incoming calls as well as signal tones are
emitted on the handset loudspeaker. Do not therefore hold the handset close
to your ear while one of these functions is on, otherwise your hearing may be
affected.

• Use only the following supplied power supply:
MN-A703-A145

• This product requires an electrical supply of 100 - 240 volts AC.

• The mains power plug must always be easily accessible.

• To disconnect the device from mains, separate the plug from the wall socket
rst.

Rechargeable batteries

Use the two supplied rechargeable batteries:

1.2V AAA 550mAh by Sanik or High Power

Using other rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries/primary cells
can be dangerous and cause malfunctions in or damage to the telephone.

Please NOTE:

• Do not immerse batteries in water or throw in the re.

• Rechargeable batteries can become warm while recharging.

• This is normal and not dangerous.

• Do not use any other type of charger since this may damage the batteries.

• Before using the telephone, wearers of hearing aids should note that radio
signals can be picked up by the hearing aid and cause an unpleasant buzzing
noise.

• Do not use your cordless telephone in environments at risk from explosion (e.g.
paintworks, petrol stations etc.)

• Do not position the telephone in bathrooms or showers.

• The radio signals may inuence the working of medical equipment.

8

• In the event of a power cut or if the batteries are discharged, your cordless
telephone will not function!

• The handset must not be charged up without batteries or the battery cover in
place.

• Do not touch open contacts.

Small Metal Objects

Small metal objects may stick to the handset due to the presence of magnetic
elds on the handset.

Exercise caution when used where metal objects can be picked up.

Environmental impact

At the end of the product’s life cycle, the telephone must not be disposed of
in normal domestic waste. Please take it to a collection point for processing
electrical and electronic equipment.

Some materials used in this product can be recycled if you take it to a recycling
depot.

By recycling parts or raw materials from used products you will be making an
important contribution to environmental protection. Please contact your local
authority if you require information about collection points in your neighbourhood.

GETTING STARTED

IMPORTANT

Do not place your Colombo Neue in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Location

You need to place your Colombo Neue base within 2 metres of the mains power
socket and telephone wall socket so that the cables will reach. The socket-outlet
should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your Colombo Neue works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the
base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

Handset range

The unit has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of
sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and
handset will reduce the range signicantly. With the base indoors and the handset
either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick
concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When
out of range of the base, the icon disappears. If you are on a call, you will hear a
warning beep.

If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the
base. Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to the
base.

Setting up

IMPORTANT

The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Use only the
power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
