Installing the telephone
Installing the base station
Install the base in a dry and dust-free location away from direct sunlight and
make sure that both power and telephone outlets are available nearby. Choose
a location where relative humidity and temperature are inside normal value for
any electric appliances. Install the base in an open location away from other
electronic devices which can create strong interferences (e.g. computer, air
conditioning systems, TV etc.)
To avoid risks for people, or damages to the power and telephone cables of the
base, do not put anything on them and dont place the base where the cables
be walked on.
Place the base on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something unsteady, it
may fall and be damaged. Should you place the base on valuable furniture,
place a proper protection under the base.
The base is designed for indoor use only.
Setting up
9
You should only use the AC adapter supplied. You should only
use the connection cable supplied.
Batteries in the base station
4 batteries can be loaded into the base station (not supplied). They are used for
power failure protection. This protection is recommended if you are using the
emergency call function. Please use 4 standard batteries (NiMH = Nickel metal
hydride, 1200 mAh and higher).
Only insert recommended, rechargeable batteries of the same type!
Never use ordinary batteries, as this can lead to damage to health or
personal injury. Do not use any other types of chargers. This could
damage the batteries.
Please dispose of used batteries properly (do not thrown them in the domestic
rubbish). The cover of the battery compartment is screwed down for safety reasons.
This means that the compartment cannot accidentally come open and that the
batteries are securely fitted.
Power failure
If the 4 batteries are fitted in the base station and the AC dadapter is disconnected,
the batteries will bridge this power failure. Make sure that the power supply plug
remains always put.
Inserting / replacing batteries in the base station
For safety reasons, disconnect the telephone from the telephone network and the
mains, by removing the telephone plug and the AC adapter were previously
connected. Unscrew the screw on the battery compartment cover using a narrow
Phillips screwdriver. Insert or replace the batteries (NiMH). Ensure that the polarity
is correct. Replace and screw down the battery compartment cover.
Connect telephone to C/O line
The telephone connecting cable has two different plugs. The smaller of them should
be plugged into the socket marked with a telephone symbol on the base of the
telephone. Place the cable in the appropriate cable duct. Plug the TAE plug into
your telephone connections TAE socket (code F).

can lead to damage to health or personal injury. Do not use any other
types of chargers. This could damage the batteries.
Replace the cover (see Fig. on the right of page 10) and tighten the screw.
Inserting plate and plastic cover
Enter your own call number and the call numbers for the police and fire service in
the appropriate fields. Slide the label flat into the recess under the clips (see Fig.
on the left). Slide the cover over them (see Fig. on the right).
You can remove the cover by inserting a paper clip into the groove and slowly and
carefully lifting the cover. Once you have released the cover from the two lower
clips, you can remove it from the recess. Repeat this procedure for the label.
Placing the handset on the base station
Place the handset on the base station with the display pointing upwards. The
confirmation tone sounds and the red LED on base station lights up.
Leave the handset in the charging cradle so that the batteries can be charged.
The fist time you charge the batteries, we recommend an uninterupted
charging time of at least 15 hours, regardless of the charge level
display.
When the batteries are new, they doesnt provide 100% of them
efficiency; it means that they might be discharged earlier. To reach the full
battery duty, you have to run-in the batteris with at least 3-4 deep
charging / discharging cycles, after that they will reach their maximum
Setting up
12
capacity.
With the daily use, it is not necessary to place the handset to the base
after each call. It is better for the batteries, if they load themselves nearly
to empty and then again fully.
The batteries warm up during charging; this is a perfectly normal
process and is not dangerous.
The charge level for the batteries displayed is only correct after an
uninterrupted charging / discharging process. You should not,
therefore, open the battery compartment unnecessarily.
The charge level display is used for orientation of the remained energy
reserve.
Attaching the carrying strap to the handset
Fit the carrying strap hooks in the eyes on
the left and right of the handset. Test
that the hooks are fitted correctly before
hanging the carrying strap onto them. The
length of the carrying strap can be adjusted

next step. Otherwise keep on entering other digits until you see the

Obviously, if none of the prompted numbers match with the one you want to

Battery checking and handling
The icon displays continuously at the top right corner. It shows the level of
your batteriy power: the more bars you see, the more power you have left.
When the batteries are low, you hear a warning tone and the icon blinks.
When the batteries are too low for the phone to operate, the handset automatically
turns off with warning beeps. In this case, place the handset on the base station to
charge the handset batteries for 15 hours. More information about charging you
will find in the paragraph Placing the handset on the base station on page 11.
Restoring the batteriy duty
When possible, to keep the maximum battery duty, charge the batteries only when
they are completely discharged, (i.e. when the battery icon has no bars inside or,
at least, with one bar) and dont remove the batteries from the base station before
the necessary time to provide a full charge.
If with the time the batteries doesnt allow the full duty, try do fully discharge them
(by normally using the phone) up to make the handset automatically switched off
as over stated, then leave the handset in the base station for 15 hours before
removing it. Repeat this deep charging/discharging cycle for at least 3 times. If the
battery duty still doesnt increase, replace the batteries.
Out of range indication
The bars at the right of the icon show continuously the signal strength received
from the base. If you are too far from the base, the radio signal might become too
weak and the phone might not access to the telephone line. In these conditions
you cant make or receive phone calls, for this reason the icon
flashes.
Outdoors, the range is up to 300 metres, inside buildings, a range of up to 50
metres is possible.
If you carry the handset too far from the base during a call, the telephone line
