Important Safety Information
Sensitive Electronic Environment (Europe only)
Only use this product in countries where the appropriate authorities have given their
authorisation.
The CE symbol on the product certifies its conformity with the technical guidelines concerning
user safety and electro-magnetic compatibility valid at the time of approval; in accordance with
European directive No. 1999/05/EC.
This product complies with IP50 - according to IEC 529 / EN 60 529.
Any radio-based equipment can potentially cause interference with other equipment and can be
interfered from other equipment. This also applies for DECT equipment. However due to the
very low transmission power level the changes for interference are very small. Research proves
that operational DECT phones normally don't influence electronic equipment however some
precautions must be taken into account for sensitive electronic equipment e.g. sensitive
laboratory equipment. When DECT phones operate in straight nearness of sensitive electronic
equipment incidental influence can appear. You are advised not to place the DECT phone on or
close (less then 10 cm) to this kind of equipment, even in standby mode.

Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals:
The wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. These standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized specific absorption rate
(SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE
Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures
specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and IEEE 1528-2003
Power Supply

Placing the batteries in the telephone
The battery compartment is on the back of the telephone. It takes the three type AAA batteries
which are supplied.
Important Battery Information
Note:
Note: Use only rechargeable AAA NiMh battery of typical 800 mAh, 1.2 V. Never use a
battery which is damaged or worn out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and life of the batteries. It is possible that a telephone
with hot or cold batteries can be temporarily out of operation even if the batteries are fully
charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Opening the battery compartment cover:
Insert a suitable item (e.g. the top of a
ballpoint pan) into the hole at the bottom
of the compartment cover(1). Push it in
and lift the cover at the same time (2).
Inserting the batteries:
Insert the batteries in the battery
compartment, taking care to observe
the correct polarity. The + - poles of
the batteries must correspond to the
+ - markings in the battery
compartment.
Closing the battery compartment cover:
Replace the cover by placing it on
the compartment at a slight angle (1)
and pressing it down until it clicks
into place (2).
Note: If the batteries are inserted
incorrectly, the telephone will not
function, and may be damaged.

Important Battery Information
Issue 2 January 2007 13
Charging and Discharging
The batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. If the operating time (i.e. talk
and standby time) is significantly shorter than usual, then it is time to replace the batteries.
To maintain optimum operating time, the batteries should be discharged from time to time by not
placing the telephone in the charger but leaving it switched on until it switches itself off.
Extreme temperatures can influence the charging capability of the batteries.
Installing the Charger

Important Battery Information
Note:
Note: Use only rechargeable AAA NiMh battery of typical 800 mAh, 1.2 V. Never use a
battery which is damaged or worn out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and life of the batteries. It is possible that a telephone
with hot or cold batteries can be temporarily out of operation even if the batteries are fully
charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Charging and Discharging
The batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but sooner or later they will be
worn out. If the operating time (i.e. talk and standby time) is significantly shorter than usual, then
it is time to replace the batteries.
To maintain optimum operating time, the batteries should be discharged from time to time by not
placing the telephone in the charger but leaving it switched on until it switches itself off. Only
use this method to discharge the batteries.
Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the batteries.
Charging the Batteries
Charge the batteries approximately 6 to 7 hours before using the telephone. This protective
measure extends the service life of the batteries.
The maximum power output is only attained after three to five charge and discharge cycles.
When replacing the batteries, ensure the correct polarity. Use only rechargeable AAA NiMh
battery of 800 mAh, 1.2V. The manufacturer does not accept liability for malfunctions or damage
caused by using other battery types or normal batteries.

Charging and Operating Times
Charging time: (empty batteries) to full capacity in approx. 6 to 7 hours.
Talk time: approx. 20 hours (with fully charged batteries).
Standby time: from 200 up to 300 hours (with fully charged batteries).
Charge Display
The charge status of the batteries is indicated on the display. This means:
batteries fully charged (80 – 100 %)
batteries 60 – 79 %
batteries 40 – 59 %
batteries 20 – 39 %
batteries 0 – 19 %
(frame flashes) batteries are empty: an alert tone is also given.
Battery Capacity Icon
When batteries are replaced, no icon will be displayed before a charging cycle has been
completed, except when almost empty batteries are inserted in the phone, then the icon will be
shown immediately.
When the battery capacity icon is displayed, the indication is reliable.
If the charged batteries are inserted, the batteries can become hot during the first charge cycle,
and if the fully charged batteries are removed from the phone and inserted again, the batteries
can become overcharged.
Charge Warning
When the batteries’ capacity is almost exhausted, an acoustic warning is given in the form of 3
short ”beep” signals (only during a call). Upon receiving the beep approximately 5 minutes of
talk time is left.
