Before operating the handset, please read these instructions carefully.
For first-time charging, charge the batteries for a minimum of 16 hours before initial use.
Intended Purpose:
This product is intended to be connected indoors to an analogue telephone line.
The phone was constructed in accordance with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT).
DECT technology is characterised by high-security protection against interceptions as well as high-quality digital
transmission. This telephone can be used within a network of base units and handsets, constituting a telephone
system which:
Operates up to 5 handsets associated with one base unit.
Allows an intercom between 2 handsets.
Caller ID is a network provider service. After subscribing to Caller ID, this phone will display the caller’s phone
number.
IMPORTANT
To use ‘Caller ID’ (display calling number), the service has to be activated on your phone line by iiNet. This can
be done online via Toolbox. If you don’t have the Caller ID function on your phone line, the incoming telephone
numbers will NOT be shown on the display of your telephone.
The CE symbol indicates that the unit complies with the essential requirements of the R&TTE directive.
The features described in this manual are published subject to modifications.

Electrical safety and protection:
Do not operate the equipment if the mains plug,
cable or the hardware itself is damaged.
If the equipment is dropped or subject to shock,
it must be checked by an authorised technician
before further use.
Dangerous voltages are present inside the
equipment. Never open the housing or insert
objects through the ventilation holes.
Do not allow liquids to get into the equipment. In
case of emergency, pull out the plug from
the socket.
Similarly, if a fault develops during use or before you
start to clean the equipment, pull the plug out if
the socket.
Do not touch the charger and plug contacts with
sharp or metal objects.
Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to
the equipment yourself. Have repairs done to the
equipment or the mains cable only by a specialist
service centre. Unsatisfactory repairs can lead to
considerable danger for the user.
Children frequently underestimate the dangers
associated with electrical equipment. Therefore
you must never leave children unsupervised in the
vicinity of electrical equipment.
The equipment is not to be used in a damp room
(e.g. bathrooms) or rooms where there is a lot
of dust.
Equipment connected to the mains during a
thunderstorm can be damaged by lightning.
Therefore you should pull the plug out of the mains
socket during a storm.
To completely disconnect the equipment from the
electricity supply, the plug must be removed from
the socket. When doing this always pull on the plug
itself and never on the cable.
Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces or other
sources of damage and do not allow it to become
constrained.
Check the mains cable regularly for any damage.
Unwind the mains cable completely before use.
Make sure that the mains cable does not represent
a trip hazard.
The operation of some medical devices may be
affected by the operation of this equipment.
The handset may cause a buzzing sound in
hearing aids.
Fire safety:
This equipment generates heat through normal
usage and therefore to avoid risk of fire or other
hazards and damage to the hardware,
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
please observe the following:
ensure the equipment is kept away from direct
sunlight and any external heat sources, such
as heaters
ensure any vents on the equipment are not
blocked or obstructed in any way
Danger of explosion:
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Poisoning danger:
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Disposal of the device
(environment)
At the end of the product lifecycle, you
should not dispose of this product with
normal household garbage. Instead,
bring the product to a collection point
for recycling electrical and electronic
equipment.
Please contact your local authorities if you require
more information on the collection points in
your area.
Cleaning
Clean your BoBTM handset with a slightly damp cloth
or with an anti-static cloth. Never use cleaning
agents or abrasive solvents.
ECO mode (low-radiation)
This handset (compliant with the DECT standard)
facilitates low-radiation operation. The radiation
intensity of the radio signal between the base
station and handset is reduced to a minimum when
the handset is on the base station. Only when the
handset is removed from the base station or a call
is received does the radiation intensity of the radio
signal increase to the normal strength.
This does not mean that normal DECT radiation
is harmful. The low-radiation mode prevents
unnecessary DECT radiation load when no
communication is required between the base
station and handset.
For technical reasons, no additional handsets can
be operated in low-radiation mode (an additional
handset that is not located in the immediate vicinity
of the base station would always be “searching for
base station” due to the weak
radio signal).
Low-radiation mode is enabled in the factory
settings. Low-radiation mode is automatically
disabled if you log on an additional handset.
