Wall mounting template

Your Telstra Orb main base unit (or extension handset charger if you have purchased one) can be wall mounted directly on to a wall.

1. Use this template to drill 2 holes in your desired

location. These holes should be made 25mm deep using a 3mm diameter drill.

2. Insert the wall plugs and insert a screw into each

hole. Leave 3mm between the head of the screw and the wall.

3. Position the base unit or extension charger on to

the screws and slide down to secure.

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

This User Guide provides you with all the information you need to get the most from your phone. Before you make your first call you will need to set up your phone. Follow the simple instructions on the next few pages.

Some Telstra services such as SMS, Messagebank® and Calling Number Display may attract feature and usage charges. Please visit Telstra.com for details.

General information

alarms and computers if placed too close. It is

recommended that you place your product at

least one metre away from such appliances to

minimise any risk of interference.

● Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a

serious risk of explosion and/or the release of

highly toxic chemicals.

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

● Do not expose to direct sunlight.

● The Telstra Orb may heat up when the batteries

are being recharged or during prolonged periods

of use. This is normal. However, we recommend

that to avoid damage you do not place the

Telstra Orb on antique/veneered wood.

● Do not stand your Telstra Orb on carpets or

other surfaces, which generate fibres, or place it

in locations preventing the free flow of air over

its surface.

● Do not submerge any part of your Telstra Orb

in water and do not use it in damp or humid

conditions, such as bathrooms.

● Do not expose your Telstra Orb to fire, explosive

or other hazardous conditions.

● There is a slight chance that your Telstra Orb

could be damaged by an electrical storm.

We recommend that you unplug the power

and telephone line cord from the base for the

duration of the storm.

Replacing the handset batteries

After a time, you may find that the handset

retailer.

Replacement batteries

Type: AAA Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)

Quantity: 2

Capacity 750 mAH

Slide off the battery compartment cover and

remove existing batteries. Insert new batteries and

replace the compartment cover.

IMPORTANT

This equipment is not designed for making

emergency telephone calls when the power fails.

Alternative arrangements should be made for

access to emergency services.

Safety

General

● Only use the power supply included with the

product.

● Use only the approved rechargeable batteries

supplied. Spare rechargeable batteries are

available from your local electrical retailer.

● Do not open the handset (except to replace the

handset batteries) or the base. This could expose

you to high voltages or other risks.

● Radio signal transmitted between the handset

and base may cause interference to hearing

aids.

● It is recommended that advice from a qualified

expert be sought before using this product in

the vicinity of emergency/intensive care medical

equipment.

Cannot send or receive new text message

• The outgoing or incoming text message centre numbers are not set or are wrong. Refer to “text message settings” on pages 63-67.

• Another SMS-enabled phone is also on your line. If you have more than one text message capable phone on the same line, the phones may not be able to operate properly when receiving text messages. To overcome this you should change the terminal number on one of the phones so that only one phone has a terminal number of 0 (see page 63). The phone with the terminal number of 0 will receive all the text messages sent to your default address. The other phone will only receive text messages sent to the specific terminal sub address.

Setting up your Telstra Orb

The position in which you place the base station can have an effect on the range and performance of your Telstra Orb.

Connecting the base station

1. Place the base station within reach of the telephone line and electrical power sockets.

2. Plug the line cord and the power cable to the sockets at the back of the base station as shown below, and secure cords in the cable clamps provided in the base.

3. Plug the other end of the line cord and power cable in to the telephone wall socket and mains power socket.

NOTE Connect the line cord to the line adaptor before plugging it into the line socket if required. TIP Avoid placing the base station too close to large metal objects such as filing cabinets, radiators or electrical appliances. This can impair the range and sound quality. Buildings with thick internal and external walls may impair transmission of signals to and from the base. WARNING The base station does not have an ON/OFF switch. Power is applied when the power adaptor is plugged into the unit and connected to the electrical power socket. The only way to power down the unit is to unplug the power adaptor from the electrical power socket. Therefore, ensure that the electrical power socket is easily accessible.

Battery life and range

Talk time and stand-by

When the batteries are fully charged, the talk time of your Telstra Orb is approximately 12 hours and the stand-by time is approximately 150 hours.

ECO Mode

ECO mode reduces power consumption in both the handset and base of your Telstra Orb cordless telephone. How it works:

1. The Handset – The default setting for the handset is ECO mode. While the handset is close to the base (within approximately 5-10 metres) the handset drops its transmission power by approximately 50%. The result is that, while being able to maintain clear communications, the power demand on the batteries is reduced. The batteries therefore last longer than if in normal mode and the time between charges is increased. If you move further away from the base the handset automatically switches to NORMAL mode to enable the call to continue.

2. The Base – The base does not change between ECO and NORMAL mode automatically. ECO mode must be turned ON and OFF via the handset by the user. If ECO mode is switched

on, the base reduces its transmission power by approximately 50%, which results in less power being drawn from the mains power supply. To identify if the base is in ECO mode the standard antenna icon on the display is replaced with an ECO mode icon.

NOTE:If the base is in ECO mode there is a reduction in range performance, but this should still be acceptable in most residential situations.

To turn ECO mode ON or OFF in the base

1. Press MENU on the handset

2. Press

until the display shows Settings,

press SELECT.

3. Press

until the display shows Base

Settings, press SELECT.

Calling Number Display

If you have subscribed to Calling Number Display, and provided the caller’s number is not withheld, the number or name if stored in the Phonebook of the caller will be displayed together with the date & time of the call. With some incoming calls, if the telephone number is not available, the handset will display the following explanations:

UNAVAILABLE - the number is not available

PRIVATE - the caller has withheld their number

PAYPHONE - the caller is ringing from a payphone

NOTE When the Received Calls list is full, a new call replaces the oldest in the list. The Received Calls list holds details of up to 50 calls. The Dialled Calls list holds up to 20 of the last numbers dialled.
