5. GENERAL

With cordless telephones, radio connection replaces the cord connecting the handset to the base unit of traditional telephones. This allows you to make and receive calls even when you are away from the base unit. Thanks to this radio connection, your mobility increases.

The Mira 200 has a working range of 300 m (range is reduced to 60 m inside buildings). This working range is however strongly reduced if there are several obstacles between the base and the handset. If you have gone too far away from

the base, you will hear a warning signal.

6. INST A L L A TION

1. Connect the telephone cord to the left socket on the rear of the base (rear of

base facing you) and plug the other end into the telephone line wall socket.

2. Connect the power cable plug to the power socket with indication “AC9V” on

the right side of the rear of the base (rear of base facing you) and plug the adaptor into a power socket.

3. To avoid messages from being erased during a power failure, put the 9V back-

up battery in the compartment on the bottom of the base station. If this battery is not placed, ‘LO’ (low) appears on the display.

4. Adjust the antenna located on the left side of the base to a straight upward

position.

Remove the transparent plastic protection of the telephone number card on the base station by pushing it to the left. Write down your own telephone number on this card and put the plastic protection back.

7. BA T T E R Y

Open the cover of the battery compartment on the backside of the handset. Now place the battery in the handset and put the ON/OFF-switch in the ON-position (“I”).

The battery of the handset has to be charged before telephone calls can be made. The first time the unit is used, it takes at least 10 hours before the battery is fully charged.

Put the handset on the connected base station to charge the battery. The battery indicator lights to indicate that the battery is being charged. After approximately 10 hours the battery is fully charged. Do not put the handset back in the base station, every time the phone has been used! Put the handset only in its base when it is indicated that the battery is almost empty. It is better for the battery to be sufficiently decharged before being recharged.

Remark:

The battery indicator will light when the handset has been put on the base station for charging. It will not turn off when the battery is fully charged.

When you hear an intermittent tone from the handset or when the low battery indicator on the LCD display of the handset is blinking, the handset has to be charged again.

A fully charged battery allows a conversation of 5 hours. In standby mode the battery has to be recharged after approximately 30 hours .

Remarks:

· The charger contacts of the handset should not come into contact with metal since this could cause a short-circuit and damage the battery irreparably.

· The charger contacts of the battery on the base station and on the handset should be cleaned with a soft cloth once a month.

· If you do not use your unit for a longer period of time, remove the battery from the handset or put the ON/OFF-switch of the handset in the OFF-position. In this case, do not put the handset in charging position on the base station. It is better for your batteries not to do so.

· If the battery in the handset has not been charged for a long period of time, charge it during an entire night.

· Do not throw faulty batteries just anywhere, they are small chemical waste and have to be treated as such.

8. OPERA T I O N

8.1. OUT OF RANGE WARNING

Obstacles between the handset and the base station will influence the operation range. When the handset is too far away from the base station, the quality of the connection will deteriorate and you will hear a warning tone (2 signals). The communication will be broken automatically if you do not go back into the

operation range within 10 seconds.

If a connection between the handset and the base station is not possible, you will hear an intermittent warning tone.

8.2. TONE AND PULSE DIALLING

Standard the Mira 200 has been set to pulse dialling. It is possible that the dialling system has to be changed to tone dialling (DTMF) before a call can be made. Your telephone has to be set to the dialling system, which is offered on your telephone line.

Pulse dialling : if you are connected to an older (mechanic) telephone exchange. Tone dialling : if you are connected to a modern electronic (DTMF) telephone

exchange.

8.2.1. TEMPORARY PULSE -> TONE (DTMF) SWITCH

1. Press the line button and wait for the dial tone.

2. Press the set button (“SET” appears on the display).
