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 dont 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.
Page 11
Setting up

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 connections TAE socket (code F).

Removing the cables
First of all unplug the AC adapter from the 230V socket and then remove the TAE plug from your telephone connections TAE socket. To remove the cables on the underside of the telephone press (e.g. with a ballpoint pen) the plugs locking clips towards the body of the plug and pull out the plug by the cable.
Setting up the handset
Opening the battery compartment and inserting the batteries
The battery compartment is on the rear of the handset under the Police / Fire label. The cover of the battery compartment is screwed down for safety reasons. This means that the compartment cannot accidentally open and that the batteries are securely fitted.
Unscrew the screw using a Phillips screwdriver and remove the battery
compartment cover (not necessary for initial installation).
Insert the attached batteries (NiMH = Nickel metal hydride), with the correct
polarity (see Fig. on the left). You will hear a confirmation tone.
Only insert recommended, rechargeable batteries of the same type (NiMH, 1200 mAh and higher). 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.
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 doesnt 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
Page 14

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 as required. Please notice the safety informations inside the front cover.

Page 19
Basic functions
17
Standby mode (waiting for incoming calls)
Standby is the initial screen that appears every time you turn on the handset. When your phone is in standby mode, you are ready to receive phone calls and you will see the handset and base number or the handset name (if you have one saved) and the current date and time. When your phone is in standby mode, you can use the phone to make or receive calls, or to use menu functions. You can access the main menu in standby mode by pressing the MENU soft key. The list of the main menu items is stated in the par. List of menu functions (see page 37). You can also access the calls list by pressing the LIST soft key.
Making a call
You can make your calls in two ways. This is the most traditional one:
1. Pick up the handset and press the key
to engage the line. You hear a dial tone and Call to appears on the top of the display with the icon
appearing in the icon area.
2. Dial a telephone number. The display shows the number as you have entered it. When you hear your called party, speak with a normal voice level.
3. To end the call, either press the key
or replace the handset on
the base station.

2. As soon as you reached the service, press the star key *: your phone is converted to the tone dial mode temporarily, so you can use the service.
3. When you hang up, the phone returns to the pulse mode.
Fuzzy dialing
This convenient function speeds up the manual dialing of the numbers which you communicate more frequently with. When enabled, just dial only the first digits, because your phone takes care to automatically complete it for you. Obviously, this can happen only if the number you are dialing is inside the list of the last dialed numbers (ref. par. Redialing last dialed numbers) or inside the list of the last
Page 25

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 dont remove the batteries from the base station before the necessary time to provide a full charge. If with the time the batteries doesnt 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 doesnt 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 cant 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

disconnects and the handset returns to standby mode. Check to see if the icon is flashing on the display. If so, move the handset closer to the base. If the radio coverage of your base is not sufficient for your purpose, you might consider to buy an additional optional base and register your handset on it, obtaining a small personal cordless network. For further details please see the par. Registering a new handset and Selecting base.
