5 BATTERY
Open the cover of the battery compartment on the back of the handset. Place
the 2 rechargeable NiCd batteries (1,2V/600mAh) in the battery compartment
and close the compartment again afterwards.
For the first use, the batteries need to be fully charged before the telephone can
be used. Put the handset on the connected base station to charge the battery.
The battery indicator on the base unit lights to indicate that the battery is being
charged. After approximately 14 hours the battery is fully charged.
Do not put the handset back on the base station, every time the phone has been
used. Put the handset only on the base when it is indicated that the battery is
almost empty. It is better for the battery to be sufficiently discharged before
being charged again. You will hear an intermittent warning tone and the Battery
indicator on the display of the handset will blink.
A fully charged battery allows a talk time of 6 hours. In standby mode the battery
has to be recharged after approximately 60 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 batteries irreparably.
• The charger contacts 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, do not put the handset in
charging position on the base station. It is better for your batteries not to do so. The best
way is to remove your batteries during that time.
• Do not throw faulty batteries just anywhere, they are small chemical waste and have to
be treated as such.
6 OPERATION
6.1 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. The communication
will be broken automatically if you do not go back into the operation range with-
in 10 seconds.
If a connection between the handset and the base station is not possible, you will
hear an intermittent warning tone.
6.2 Making a telephone call
6.2.1 Normal dialling
Press the Line button. When the radio connection has been established, you hear
a short beep. The radio connection indicator on the base station lights up and on
the handset the radio connection indicator will appear on the display
Now the desired telephone number can be dialled. The duration of the call is
visible on the display. Press the Off button to end the conversation or put the
handset back on the base unit.
6.2.2 Block dialling
It is possible to first dial the number and then push the Line button. This way the
caller can check whether the entered number is correct or not. If he has entered a
wrong number, he can erase it by using the Mute button. After that, push the
Line button to call the number.
• Only 3 seconds after taking the line, the number is being sent out.
• To end the conversation, press the Off button or put the handset back on the
base station.
• The duration of the call is visible on the display (format HH-MM-SS).
6.3 Receiving a telephone call
When the base station receives a call, it will start to ring and passes the call on to
the handset. The handset will also ring when it is not lying on the base station. If
the handset is lying on the base unit, you will only hear the ringing signal of the
base station.
When the base station receives a call and the handset is lying on the base station,
you will immediately be connected to the caller when you pick up the handset
(this function can be activated/deactivated, see 9. Settings).
Press the Stop button to end the communication after the conversation or put the
handset back on the base station. The call time appears on the display.
6.4 Receiver volume control
When you do not hear your caller loud enough, you can adjust the speaker
volume by pressing the Line button.
