- Handset - Mains adapter
- Base unit - Line cord
- 2 batteries (Ni-MH AAA 1.2V 600 mAh)
Models with an extra handset (+1) also include an additional handset, batteries, charger
and mains adapter*.
IMPORTANT!
Only use with the supplied power adaptor/s.
Connection
1. Connect the mains adapter to the y socket of the base unit and to an electrical
wall socket.
2. Carefully remove the handset battery cover. Insert the batteries into the handset
ensuring correct battery polarity is observed, and replace the battery cover.
3. Place the handset in the base unit, with the keypad facing outwards. Once the
handset is correctly positioned in the base unit, a beep will be heard.
4. Leave the handset to charge initially for 24 hours before use.
5. Connect the line cord to the T socket on the base unit and a network wall socket.
6. For installation of the answering machine (540R) please refer to pages 20-26.
Only for models with an extra handsets (+1):
7. Connect the mains adapter to the y socket of the base unit and to an electrical
wall socket.
8. Carefully remove the handset battery cover. Insert the batteries into the handset
ensuring correct battery polarity is observed, and replace the battery cover.
9. Place the handset in the base unit, with the keypad facing outwards. Once the
handset is correctly positioned in the base unit, a beep will be heard.
10. Leave the handset to charge initially for 24 hours before use.
Please note!
Under power failure conditions this telephone will not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone
not dependent on local power is available for emergency use. Do not place the base unit close to other
electrical equipment such as TV sets, computer screens, telecom equipment, fans etc. This will minimize
the risk of interference. Do not place the base unit in areas where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or
other major heat sources.

Installation
Belt clip
A belt clip is tted to the back of the handset, allowing the handset to be attached to a
belt, shirt pocket or similar.
Wall mounting
The base unit can be wall mounted. Use two screws mounted horizontally 60 mm
apart. The screws should t into the two ‘keyholes’ on the back of the base unit.
Australia Only
The base unit can also be attached to the standard Australian wall plate by using the
included bracket. Attach the bracket by inserting the locators into the “keyholes” on
the back of the base unit and pushing the spring clips into the holes on the underside of
the unit. The base unit can then be attached to the wall plate.
Battery
The telephone is supplied with environmentally friendly nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries – 2 x AAA 1.2V. As with all batteries, performance may degrade over time;
should you notice that the standby time has reduced considerably or there are signs of
leakage, the batteries should be replaced.
Fully-charged batteries will last for approx 100 hours in standby or 10 hours call time
(does not apply when hands free function is used). These operation times apply at
normal room temperature.
Full battery capacity will be achieved once the batteries have been charged 4-5 times,
completely discharged batteries will take about 10 hours to fully recharge.
Please note that the battery indicator in the display will ash while the handset is
located in the base unit and will not stop when the battery is fully charged.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the batteries from
being overcharged or damaged by prolonged charging. It is better for handsets to be
recharged every other night, rather than after each call.
Please note!
To ensure and maintain good charging of the handset batteries we recommend that the base and handset
charge contacts are cleaned regularly, ie monthly, with a pencil eraser and/or a soft dry cloth. The
recharging system used in this model may result in the handset and the batteries warming up. This is
normal and will not harm the equipment.
When the telephone is installed for the rst time, the batteries must be charged for 24 hours before using
the telephone. Use original batteries only. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by incorrect
use of batteries. Please dispose of any batteries in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner.

Installation
Battery charge indicator
The symbol ] in the display indicates when it is time to recharge the
batteries, during a call when the battery is running low a warning tone will
be heard. If the handset is not recharged at this time, the phone will cease to
function until it is recharged. The symbol | will be displayed when the
battery is fully charged.
Range
The range of the telephone varies depending on different factors in the
surrounding enviroment. Radio waves transmiting the call may be hindered by
obstructions or signal reections that can reduce the range
Specied ranges require unobstructed transmission between the handset and the
base unit. In such ideal conditions the telephones range can be up to 300 metres.
In densely populated areas, houses, apartments, etc. the range will be reduced.
Try to get the best range by relocating the base unit, the ideal location is a high
and unobstructed place.
Out of range warning
If during a call the handset is carried too far from the base unit a warning tone
will be heard. Unless the handset is moved closer to the base unit within a few
seconds the call will be lost.
Headset
When using an optional headset, there is no change in the way a call is received
or made. When a headset is connected, the microphone and earpiece of the
handset are automatically disconnected.
This telephone supports the use of the mute function with a button on the
headset cable.
Please note!
Immediately reduce the earpiece volume on the handset when connecting an optional headset.
The performance of a non-original DORO headset cannot be guaranteed.

Expanded System
General information
DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone) is a digital method of
transmission for cordless telephones. You can:
- Use up to 5 handsets with the same base unit.
- Make internal calls (intercom) and transfer calls between connected
handsets using the same base unit.
- Connect (register) up to 4 base units with the same handset.
Additional handsets can be purchased from your local retailer.
This model is also GAP (Generic Access Prole) compatible, which means
that the handset and the base unit can both be used with most other GAP-
compatible units irrespective of manufacturer. However, the GAP protocol does
not guarantee all functions will work.
Multiple handsets
The multiple handset function has numerous practical applications, e.g.
employees in an ofce can have several handsets linked to the same base unit.
They can all answer incoming calls, make outgoing calls, use the handsets
internally as an intercom system, and also transfer external calls between the
handsets. One external call and one internal call can be active simultaneously.
To be able to use extra handsets with a base unit, you must register the handset.
Registration enables the handset to know which base unit it belongs to.
On registration, the handset is allocated a specic handset number, e.g. 2. This
number is also used for internal calls between handsets. When you purchased
the telephone, the handset was pre-registered with the accompanying base unit.
The handset has the handset number 1, which is shown in the display in standby
mode. Refer to the Registration chapter for more information.
If you wish to use several handsets with one base unit, you should ensure that
the base unit is centrally positioned in order to evenly divide the base units
range among the handsets.
