LIGHTS UP GREEN
LED LIGHT RING LIGHTS UP ...
... IN GREEN = STANDBY
... IN RED = BATTERY IS CHARGED
... NOT = CHECK POWER SUPPLY
The LED light ring indicates the following
conditions: Green – Standby, CALIMA 800 is
supplied with voltage, the battery is fully
charged. Red – battery is charged. Does not
light up – mains adapter is not plugged in,
please check the connections.
Note:
Charge the battery for at least 12 hours
prior to initial use.
Settings such as coupling, melody selection,
etc. can also be made before the 12 hours
have elapsed, even while charging on the
table adapter (TA55).
If possible, please supply the CALIMA 800 as
standard via the TA55 table adapter to
ensure that the battery is always sufficiently
charged.
Of course, CALIMA 800 can also be used as
a mobile wireless doorbell and Bluetooth
®
loudspeaker over a long period of time
without the need for a table adapter.
Audio output via Bluetooth
®
streaming is
guaranteed for several hours.
Place the CALIMA 800 on the table adapter so
that the spring contacts touch the contact points
of the CALIMA 800. The guide domes of the table
adapter help to find the correct position.
Table adapter
1.) Connect the USB cable to the table adapter.
2.) Plug the power adapter into a socket.
3.) As soon as the LED light ring lights up green,
the table adapter is ready for use.

Bluetooth®function
CALIMA 800 can be connected to other audio sources via Bluetooth® and thus be used as a Bluetooth®

use the loudspeaker.
This extends the battery life (if you use the
CALIMA 800 without table adapter).
If the Bluetooth®function is switched off,
operation is guaranteed for several months.
A harmful deep discharge of the battery is
prevented by the CALIMA 800 battery
monitoring system.
Couple audio sources via Bluetooth®

function is automatically switched off. If the battery
charge drops further, all functions of the CALIMA 800 are then deactivated. You must fully recharge
CALIMA 800 using the TA55 desk adapter to be able to use its functions again.
In the Bluetooth®menu on your smartphone or other Bluetooth®enabled audio source, you will see
„CALIMA 800“, when the Bluetooth®function of the CALIMA 800 is switched on. Connect your

The wireless doorbell signals neither visually
nor acoustically. To do this, two options are
available for you to choose from:
• The function can either be activated for a
previously defined period (slumber function)
• or for an unlimited time (mute).
Both functions, i.e. mute and slumber mode,
are indicated visually. The LED ring blinks
green until the wireless doorbell is back in
active mode, and therefore serves as a
reminder to end muting.
