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.
You should only use the AC adapter supplied. You should only use the connection cable supplied. Attention: The base do not work in case of a power failure or if the AC adapter is not connected.
Setting up
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. Plug the TAE plug into your telephone connection’s socket (code F).
Connect telephone to ”Power”
Plug the AC adapter cable plug into the socket with the mains symbol. Then plug the AC adapter into a 230V socket.
Setting up
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 placed on the back side of the handset.
Push the cover in the arrow direction and remove it.
Only insert recommended, rechargeable batteries of the same type (NiMH, 600 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.
Insert the attached batteries (NiMH = Nickel metal hydride), with the correct polarity (see Fig.).
Setting up
10
Replace the cover (reverse procedure as with the remove of the cover). Press the replace key
for at least 2 seconds. The handset will be
activated.
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 bars of the battery status icon in the display begin to move. 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
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.
Setting the display language
When setting up, the telephone allows you to select the language, you prefer. The language-selection appears in the display.
Press the arrow keys to choose the desired language, and press the
OK soft key to confirm.

Basic functions
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 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 31). You can also access the calls list by pressing the LIST soft key.

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.
This procedure is more convenient and reliable, because you can check the number you have entered and make corrections before dialing:
1. Enter a telephone number. Check the number on the display.
2. If you have made mistakes (i.e. the number you dialed is not the one you want to call) modify it as described in the below stated notes.

to clear the last digit and correct the number. You can also keep it pressed for more than one second in order to clear all digits you have entered and return to standby mode.
The EDIT soft key allows you to save the number you have dialed or
insert dialing pauses. See par. „Storing a phone number in standby mode“ and „Entering a dialing pause“ respectively.
Receiving a call
When a call is received, the phone rings and the icon blinks on the display of the handset. If the incoming call can be identified you will also see the caller’s number in the display. If the caller’s number was proviously entered in the phonebook, you will see his/her name instead of his/her number. The blue LED on the handset is flashing. On base station, the green LED lights.
1. To answer the call, press any key while the phone is ringing. When you are on the phone, the display shows the call time.
2. To end the call, either press the key or replace the handset on the base station.
If the handset is on the base, simply pick it up to answer the phone. You
do not need to press any keys. A condition for this is that you activated the function „Auto answer “.
The caller’s identification can work only if your telephone network
supports the service as well as the caller’s one. However the caller can still hide his/her number.
Putting a call on hold
While you are on the phone, you can put the call on hold.
1. Press the INT key longer than 2 sec. during a call to put the call on hold. The display shows ON HOLD.

This key is used in conjunction with special services (e.g. call waiting, conference etc.) which can be available in your phone network. For further details please contact your network telephone company. Moreover, if you are connected to an extension of a

switchboard (PABX), you can use the FLASH soft key to locally transfer a call to another extension.
To transfer a call, or use the said special services, press the FLASH soft key while the line is engaged.
If the FLASH soft key does not work properly, you need to change the
Flash time. See the par. „Changing flash time“ on page 44.
Temporary tone dial switchover
If you are using the pulse dialing because your telephone line doesn’t support tone dialing (please make reference on par. „Choosing the dial mode“), you might not be able to access certain external services (e.g. automatic call centers, voice mailboxes, interactive telephone systems etc.), because they need the tone dialing. No problem: you can access them anyway doing this:
1. Call the number of the service you need to access as you do normally.
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.
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 10.
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.
