31 Getting acquainted with and connecting the HomeHandy Pìco
1.1 Introduction
The HomeHandy Pìco is a cordless telephone in line with the DECT-GAP
standard.
It consists of a handset and a base station in which a charging facility for
the batteries is integrated. Additional charging facilities (chargers) are
available as an accessory.
The speech in the handset and the base station is encrypted by the requi-
rements stipulated in the DECT standard; this provides you with an effec-
tive protection against the tapping of radiophony traffic by third parties
using wide-band receivers (scanners). It does not impair the speech qua-
lity.
Unpleasant secondary noise can be caused in conjunction with hearing
aids.
A call cannot be made with the HomeHandy Pico during a power
failure as the power supply to the base station is then interrupted.
The HomeHandy Pìco operates according to the GAP standard, i.e.
other handsets which also comply with the GAP standard can be logged
into the Hagenuk base. Likewise, this handset can be logged into other
”GAP” bases.
For information on the log-in procedure, please refer to the instructions of
the respective manufacturer.
Your HomeHandy Pìco has a personal identification number (PIN). On
delivery, it is set to ”0 0 0 0”. If you wish to prevent certain settings
(number of logged-in handsets etc.) from being altered by unauthorised
persons, then this PIN must be changed. However, please do not forget
to make a note of this PIN as the unit can only be reset by a service tech-
nician should you forget the PIN.
Notes
Attention

41 Getting acquainted with and connecting the HomeHandy Pìco
1.2 Getting started
The following points should be observed when selecting the location for
the HomeHandy Pìco base station:
• Do not set it up in close proximity to CD players, video recorders,
television sets, computers and microwave ovens. Furthermore, the base
station has to be located clear off satellite receivers and answering
machines unless these are specifically designed to be DECT-resistant.
•Avoid setting it up in very smoky or dusty conditions. Direct sunlight, damp
or locations subject to high humidity are also best avoided, as are locations
close to sources of heat.
• Try to locate the base station in the centre of the area from which calls are
to be made; in a multi-storey building, the optimal position is to be found
near to the staircase.
Use a non-slip mat for the base station and charger (accessory) so that
the plastic feet are not attacked by the varnish coat of the furniture leaving
unpleasant marks on the surface.
The base station has to be connected to the telephone network and
mains supply before the HomeHandy Pico can be used. Establish the
connections as illustrated in the sketch.
The connection sockets (2 x western) are located on the underside of the
base station; they are marked with the corresponding symbols.

1.3 Charging and handling of the batteries
Charging the batteries
In the case of brand new units or when putting a unit into operation after
a longer storage period, the batteries have to be charged first. This is
done by placing the handset in the charge unit.
Different types of batteries can be used to operate the handset (e.g. 650
mAh NiCad, 700 mAh NiCad, 1200 mAh NiMH etc.); however, it is
essential that two identical batteries are used!
The batteries are charged for up to 14 hours during initial charging; this
is not done constantly, but by means of pulse charges.
The batteries are charged quicker during normal operation (i.e. when
the handset is placed in the base station after the ”Batt. Empty” signal.
The batteries’ charge level decreases during operation; the display indi-
cates these changes in different steps (100, 80, 70, 60 etc.).
When the batteries are replaced, the capacity is not displayed
instantaneously. Even if the batteries are charged , theirs is an unknown
charge state.
The display shows the following:
The ”normal” display showing the percentage only appears after a few
hours.
If you cut off the electricity in the house for several hours (e.g. during a
holiday or longer installation work), then you should remove the batteries
to avoid excessive discharging.
Battery handling
Thanks to optimised charging based on the calculated consumption, no
particular procedure is necessary to ensure long battery life.
Nevertheless, batteries are subject to deterioration over time, their capaci-
ty and the respective operating times diminish.
Defective batteries should be taken to a collecting point for batteries;
they should never be thrown away together with domestic
rubbish!

1.4 Inserting/replacing batteries
Remove the cover on the battery compartment by applying moderate
pressure to the upper edge where the catch is located. Remove the old
batteries if necessary. Insert new batteries as illustrated.
Push the cover back on; make sure the catch engages.
The batteries to be
inserted must be of
the same type and
capacity!
1.5 Settings upon delivery
The HomeHandy Pìco is delivered with the following settings:

112 Operating overview
2.4 Displays: standby mode
The ”standby mode” is defined as
follows:
The handset is ready for use.
There is no radio link to the base
station. No call is signalled.
The selected base (A, B ...) and the
current battery capacity are displayed on the second line. Battery capacity
is stated in increments of 20% or 10%.
If the handset detects a battery
charge of 0%, the display reads
”NO POWER” accompanied by an
alert tone; it is no longer possible
to set up a connection.
However, if a radio link exists at this
moment, there is a residual operating time of approx. 3 minutes.
A short alert tone is given when
the handset is placed in the base
station. Charging is commenced and
”POWER” appears on the display as
the batteries did not have the full
capacity.
A message is shown on the display
if the field strength is insuffi-
cient, i.e. the handset is outside
the range of the base or it is not
logged into any base.
2.5 Displays: ready-to-dial mode
The ”ready-to-dial” mode is defined as follows:
The handset has been switched on via the ON/OFF key; a radio link
exists to the base station.
The telephone is ready to dial a phone number. Various options are shown
on the second line of the display. You can then, for example, dial a phone
number from the number redial memory () or from a speed dial-
ling memory ().

12 2 Operating overview
2.6 Displays - standby mode: dial preparation
The ”dial preparation” state is defined as follows: the handset is in
standby mode; there is no radio link to the base.
A phone number can now be entered
via the keypad (up to 24 digits); a
phone number which has been stored
in the number redial memory
(refer to chapter 4.1 „Number redial -
history function“) or in a speed dial-
ling memory (refer to chapter 4.6
„Speed dialling“)can be retrieved by
pressing the respective key and is
then indicated on the display.
Corrections can also be made sub-
sequently by supplementing digits or
deleting the number from the end by
means of the left arrow key and
replacing it with the correct digits.
A radio link is automatically establis-
hed by pressing the ON/OFF key
and the number is dialled.
