Welcome
Congratulations on choosing the Aton CLT321, a cordless telephone for connecting to
the analogue telephone network in Switzerland or an analogue extension of a telecom-
munications system. With the digital DECT standard the devices are more bug-proof than
the analogue devices designed in accordance with the CT1+ standard (operation no lon-
ger allowed since Jan 2009), which it was possible to bug using commercially available
scanners. But even DECT devices do not offer 100% protection. Greater bugging
defences than those offered by the DECT standard are guaranteed at the present time
only by corded devices.
You can operate up to 5 handsets from one base station and conduct internal calls bet-
ween these handsets free of charge. One handset can be registered on up to 4 base sta-
tions.
Your Aton CLT321 supports the CLIP feature (display of caller’s number), provided that
the information is available on your connection and the caller has not suppressed his
number. Thus, in conjunction with the call list, you will be informed about every call you
receive, even while you are absent.
With your Aton CLT321 you can use the Swisscom SMS service to send SMS messages to
or receive them from SMS-enabled terminal devices, e.g. mobile phones, PCs or other
fixed-line telephones.
Your Aton CLT321 is equipped with a digital answering machine, which can be comfor-
tably operated from the handset and the base.
We hope you enjoy your Aton CLT321.

ECO Mode (Ecomode plus / Automatic regulation of the power level)
“ECO Mode” is already activated by default, i.e. the transmission signals will
be switched off in stand-by mode. This setting can be restored at any time by
resetting the base station (see page 69).
When inactive the transmitters on the base as well as on the handset are switched off
completely, the radiation load is thus reduced to zero.
During a call the power level is demand-actuated, i.e. the closer the handset is located to
the base, the lower is the power level. The maximum available power level can be set to
three different levels (see page 64 / [ECO Mode]) :
- [Full range] = max. power level: 100% (default setting)
- [Half range] = max. power level: approx. 45%
- [One room] = max. power level: approx. 20%
- [Desk] = max. power level: approx. 10%
- [Off] = Switched off
This function is only guaranteed to work when Aton CLT321 handsets are
registered on the base station. Registering other handsets, such as previous
model ranges, is possible, in which case, however, the aforementioned
requirements will not be fulfilled.

Introduction

Unpacking the telephone
The package contains:
➭1 Handset
➭1 Base station
➭1 AC adaptor (type SNG 24 ea)
➭1 Telephone connecting cord (cable RJ11 / RJ11, adaptor TT83 / RJ11)
➭1 Battery (Li-Ion)
➭3 User manuals (German, French, Italian)
Installation site
In order to keep exposure to radiation from the base station as low as possible, you
should not install the base in immediate proximity to bedrooms or children’s rooms.
For the best range possible we recommend a central installation site for the base station,
in the middle of your sphere of activity. Avoid installing it in niches, small rooms and
behind steel doors.
The maximum range between the base station and the handset is approx. 820 ft (250
m). Depending on environmental conditions, as well as the spatial and structural situati-
on, the range can be lower. In buildings the range is, as a rule, lower than in the open.
As a consequence of digital transmission in the frequency range being used, dead zones
can appear depending on the structural setting within that range. In this case the trans-
mission quality can be reduced by additional, brief transmission gaps. By a slight move-
ment out of the dead zone the usual transmission quality will be regained. When the
transmission range is exceeded the connection will be severed if you do not return to the
range area within ten seconds.
In order to prevent radio-induced coupling with other electronic devices, we recommend
as large a distance as possible (min. 3.3 ft (1 m)) between the base station or handset
and other devices.

Minimisation of electrical energy consumption during prolonged absences
During prolonged absences you should switch the handset off (see page 19) and avoid
placing it on a charging station (base station / charging cradle) in order to conserve the
environment and to minimise the uptake of electrical energy.
Connecting the telephone
So that you can operate your telephone, you have to plug in the connecting cord for the
telephone connection as well as the power cable.
For the base station use only the power adaptor provided (type SNG 24 ea).
Telephone – connecting cord
The telephone connecting cable consists of two parts
• Connecting cable with RJ 11 plugs at both ends
• Adaptor TT83 / RJ11-socket
Plug the adaptor into the TT jack, then plug one end of the connecting cable into the
RJ11 socket of the adaptor, and finally plug the other end into the socket labelled with a
telephone symbol.

Whenever possible use the connecting cord provided. Should this be defective
or should you require a longer connecting cord (19.7 ft (6 m)), please use only
the item 10034600 (Swisscom “accessories”).
Power cable
The power cable is first plugged into the socket labelled with a symbol of a power plug
on the underside of the base station. Then stick the AC adaptor into the 230 V outlet.
Make sure the socket to which the AC adaptor is connected is always freely accessible,
so that you can disconnect the device from the power supply.
If the AC adaptor is unplugged or there is a power outage, your telephone
will not work.
Connect the telephone to the telephone network only after the battery has
been completely charged. This guarantees proper functioning.
Disconnecting the cords
First pull the adaptor plug out of the 230 V outlet and the TT adaptor out of the TT jack
of your telephone connection.
To disconnect a plug on the device press down on the locking hook in the direction of
the plug body. At the same time pull out the plug attached to the cord.

Activating the handset
Only after the initial charging of the battery is completed will your handset be ready for
use. Only then can calls be received or made using this handset.
Charging the battery
When you have unpacked the device, the battery is still uncharged. To charge it, place
the handset on the base station. The animated battery symbol on the handset indicates
that the battery is charging. The charging time of the battery is approx. 10 hours.
The charge status can be read off the indicator on the handset display.
The indicator statuses are:
- empty
- approx. 1/4 full
- approx. 1/2 full
- approx. 3/4 full
- full
After inserting a new battery the indicator on the handset only corresponds to the actual
battery charge status after the battery has been completely charged.
When the battery symbol is no longer blinking, stick the telephone plug into the telepho-
ne jack. Your telephone is now ready for use.
Use only the batteries provided (3.7 V, 1000 mAh, Li-Ion) (see page 85).
Never place the handset on the base station without the battery compartment
cover!
!
Setting Up Your Telephone

11
20407785en_ba_b0
Please note: Following the insertion of a new battery, the battery indicator
needs a complete charging cycle in order to be able to provide you with
correct information about the charge status.
You can place your handset back onto the base station after every call. Charging is elect-
ronically controlled so that the battery will be optimally charged to conserve energy even
under the most varied charge states. Avoid taking the battery out of the handset for no
particular reason, since this will interfere with the optimal charging process.
The capacity of the battery inserted into the handset can be improved if after long
periods of use it is completely discharged and subsequently completely recharged.
With a fully charged battery you can use your telephone for up to 20 hours. The stand-
by time is up to 300 hours. When the ECO Mode is activated, the stand-by time is redu-
ced by as much as 50%.
When the charge of the battery reaches its lower limit, the battery symbol blinks on the
display and you will hear a battery warning tone (provided the battery warning tone is
activated).
Exchanging the battery
A battery compartment which accepts a Li-Ion battery (3.7 V / 1000 mA) is located on
the underside of the handset. You will find important information relating to battery
handling in the appendix (see page 85).
Removing the battery compartment cover
At the indentation gently press the battery compartment cover downwards, then slide
the cover downwards and remove.

Inserting the battery (pay attention to the polarity!)
Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Take care to
position the battery contacts correctly with respect to
the contacts in the battery compartment.
Then put the battery compartment cover back on
and slide it upwards until it snaps into place.
Registering a handset
The handset provided is already registered on the base station. Every additional handset
must first be registered on the base station. You can run a max. of five handsets off the
base station.
