Forum Free 560 in the
Forum 500 Communications
System
General
The Forum Free 560 is a telecommunications terminal for use
with your Forum 500 communications system.
The newly-designed menus enable ease of operation and rapid
access to the many features and functions of your system.
Make yourself familiar with your telephone equipment. You will
discover many new functions that make communication and
organisation easier.
Glossary
These operating instructions describe all the basic functions of
your telephone. Should you require further information on the
system features, please refer to the glossary supplied with your
communications system.

6 Using Your Telephone
The Features of Your Tele-
phone
Using Your Telephone
Safety Precautions
Only use this product in countries where the relevant authorities
have authorised its operation.
The CE symbol on the product confirms that it meets the techni-
cal guidelines on user safety and electromagnetic compatibility
valid at the time of authorisation.
Please also refer to the other documentation supplied for safety
precautions relating to the components of your telephone sys-
tem.
Power Supply
This product requires a 230-V alternating current power supply .
This product can be switched off only by removing the adapter
plug from the mains socket.
The mains supply voltage in some countries is 110 V. The
adapter plug is designed accordingly.
Usage
This handset, like any cordless telephone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee the set-up of a connection in all
conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any
cordless telephone for essential communication (e.g. medical
emergencies).

7Using Your Telephone
General
The Forum Free 560 is a cordless telephone for operation in the
Forum 500 communications system. In addition to convenient
softkey control for the support of the system features, this tele-
phone also offers a variety of features that enable you to make
calls more easily.
To increase your accessibility you can also operate your handset
in other communications systems, and thus use the same hand-
set in different places.
Furthermore, it is possible to operate the handset in the com-
munications systems of other manufacturers, providing they
meet the GAP standard.
DECT and GAP
Your handset uses a digital radio connection in accordance with
the DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone) standard for
the connection to the base station. This digital channel guaran-
tees the highest voice quality without static or background
noise. For signalling between the communications system and
the handset, the Forum Free 560 uses the Generic Access Profile
(GAP).
The Generic Access Profile (GAP) and the DECT standard define
methods according to which digital cordless telephones can
establish connections. The GAP standard is not manufacturer-
specific, so it is possible to combine the base stations and hand-
sets of different vendors with each other. The basic functions
(making and receiving calls) are always possible with these
combinations. Other functions (display of telephone numbers or
call charges) which your Forum 500 communications system
provides together with your handset may not be available with
the devices of other manufacturers.

8 Installation
Installation
Installation Location
Place the charger on a flat, even surface. Do not place the
charger or accessories in the vicinity of:
zWater, moisture or damp areas
zHeat sources, direct sunlight or inadequately ventilated
areas
zDevices which produce strong magnetic fields, electrical
devices, fluorescent lamps, computers, radios, television
sets, fax machines and telephone terminals
zAreas where the equipment may be covered, its ventila-
tion impaired, or where fluids could penetrate into it
zAreas where there is excessive dust, and areas subject to
vibration, shock or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Place and/or store the handset and accessories out of the reach
of small children.

9Installation

of the charger, and then put the adapter plug into the mains
socket.

10 Installation
Important Information about the Battery
Use the battery only as directed. Never use a damaged or flat
battery.
Heat and cold reduce the performance and the lifetime of the
battery. A handset with either a hot or a cold battery can be
temporarily out of operation, even when the battery is fully
charged.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local regula-
tions. Make use of available recycling facilities.
Never throw a battery into a fire.
Charging and Discharging
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times.
When the operating time (i.e. call and standby time) has
become noticeably shorter than normal, the battery should be
replaced.
A fully charged but unused battery discharges itself in approx.
one week at room temperature.
In order to achieve long operating times, you should discharge
the battery at intervals by not placing the handset in the charg-
er, and leaving it switched on until it switches itself off. Only use
this method to discharge the battery.
Extreme fluctuations in temperature have an effect on the
charging capacity of the battery.

11Charging the Battery
Charging the Battery
Commissioning
Charge the battery for six to seven hours before using your
handset for the first time. This safety precaution extends the
lifetime of your battery.
The maximum performance of the battery is only reached after
three to five charging/discharging cycles.
Place your handset in the charger tray regularly, in order to
reach the optimum battery charge.
Be careful to observe the correct polarity when replacing the
battery. It is absolutely essential that you only use rechargeable
batteries authorised by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for malfunction
or damage when other types of rechargeable battery or normal
batteries are used.
Charging and Operating Times
Charging time: 6 - 7 hours when charged to full capacity after
being completely discharged.
Call time: up to 8 hours (fully charged).
Standby time: up to 80 hours (fully charged).

12 Charging the Battery
Charge Display
The charge level of the battery is shown by the [in the dis-
play. The symbol has the following meanings:
[Battery is 75 - 100 % charged
]Battery is 50 - 75 % charged
|Battery is 25 - 50 % charged
{Battery is 0 - 25 % charged
{(Frame flashes) battery nearly discharged, warning signal.
When the battery has been replaced, there is no display of the
charge level until a whole charge cycle has been completed.
Instead, the battery symbol segments flash during this period to
indicate charging.
If you have activated the option "Optical Charge Indicator" (LED
ring around the receiver), the LEDs will flash during charging.
Charge Warning
When the battery capacity is nearly exhausted, you will hear
three short beeps repeated once a minute as a warning. If you
are making a call at the time, you have five minutes remaining
in which to complete it before the handset switches itself off.

13Enrolling the Handset
Commissioning
Enrolling the Handset
Your handset can be operated on up to ten different communica-
tions systems. In order to do this, it must be enrolled on every
system.
In the case of operation on the Forum 500 communications sys-
tem, the enrolment is done by your system administrator.
In the case of other communications systems you must do the
following:
Enrol your handset on the communications system as described
on p. 51.
