Principles of utilisation
Coverage zone:
The DECT functions provided by your Alcatel system basically allow user mobility
by managing DECT cordless telephones..
The Alcatel system radio coverage is provided by a number of base stations that transmit
and receive within a radius of 20 m to 50 m (depending on environment).
The zone covered by a base station is called a cell.
Mobility:
A user can make or receive calls in any cell.
Radio transfer:
Radio transfer allows the user to move around, from one cell to another, during a call.
Transition between cells is automatic, with no effect on the call. In some cases,
a slight crackle may be audible at the instant of transition.
Conditions of utilisation of your telephone
Using a DECT standard telephone:
You are going to use a DECT standard telephone that provides a private call facility
between cordless telephones and a cordless PBX or domestic relay units.
Conditions of utilisation:
In addition to the actual equipment type approval, the conditions of utilisation must als
be observed, notably concerning the radio frequencies used:
No guarantee is given concerning possible interference affecting DECT equipment,
due to other authorised utilisation of the radio frequencies concerned.
DECT equipment must not be used to provide telephone links between fixed points,
as the links are not permanent and the power radiated by the antenna
is less than 250 mW.
DECT systems must be installed by a licensed technician.

Charger/holders
Support 4071 DA :
Charger/holder 4071 DA provides a convenient holder for the telephone while
also charging the battery. The telephone can be “off” or “on”.
Holder 4071 BA and 4071 BC:
Two other models of charger/holder, with no spare battery position and no indicator LEDs
(charge level is indicated on the telephone display), are also available as types 4071 BA
and 4071 BC.
Charger/holder 4071 BC can be used with telephone 4074 GC to provide a hands
free call facility.
Batteries
Your telephone is supplied with a 1200 mAh NiMh or a 600 mAh NiCd battery.

The mains power socket used must be close to the charger/holder and easily acces-
sible, so that it can be used as an “on/off” facility.
The fully charged indications given on the telephone display and
on the charger can differ by one or two minutes. This has no influence
on the battery charge level. If the telephone is placed on the holder 4071 DA
without a battery, the battery charge LED indication will not be significant.
A wall mounting kit is available for your 4071 DA.
The holder comprises:
1. a position for the telephone,
2. an LED indicating the battery charge level,
3. a position for a spare battery,
4. an LED indicating the level of charge
of the spare battery,
5. a mains power connection cable.

Install the battery, preferably fully discharged, in its housing:
Battery defective or incorrectly installed:
Using the commercial battery holder
Depending on the model, your telephone package will contain a battery holder, enabling
ordinary commercial batteries to be used. Any commercial AA NiCd 1.2 V battery may
be used. However, the charge time required will be at least 4 hours.
To install the chargeable cells in the holder, release the retaining strip, insert two AA cells,
respecting the polarities shown inside the holder, and install the retaining strip.
You can now charge the holder, either installed in the telephone or in the charger
spare battery housing.
The batteries contain polluting materials and should be finally disposed of through
a specialist collection point.
The battery may become hot during the charge. This is not a fault. Protection is
available against battery overheating, to preserve its nominal working life
(only for an enclosed battery pack).

When telephone 4074 GC is used in hands free mode, its battery is no longer
charged. Avoid needlessly long conversations in hands free mode when the telephone
battery is not fully charged. After a call in hands free mode, charging the telephone
will soon restore the full battery charge.
If the telephone must be kept out of the charger, the battery should be removed
and stored separately or placed in the spare battery housing on the rear
of charger 4071 DA.

Carrying cases
Several types of carrying case are available for the 4074 range of telephones.
These cases provide effective protection against impact (being dropped), dust and liquids.
Carrying cases are strongly recommended in severe environments. For the characteristics
of each model, contact your installation technician.
Remove the belt clip from your telephone to facilitate case insertion and removal.
To remove the belt clip from telephones 4074 B, GB, GB Ex and GC, unscrew the clip
mounting screw and store the belt clip for future use. On telephones 4074 H, GH and
GI, firstly release the belt clip using the tip of a ball-point pen, while pushing back the
top tab behind the clip. Then release the clip by sliding it downwards on the telephone.
Do not use dry batteries. Overcharging batteries cannot increase the nominal
charge level and may seriously damage your telephone or charger.
Only batteries recommended by Alcatel should be used. Batteries should only be
charged in the chargers supplied by Alcatel. If these instructions are not strictly
observed, Alcatel declines all responsibility.
Do not install different types of cell, or cells with different charge levels,
in the holder.
