Precautions
1 Important Safety Information
Only use this product in countries where the appropriate
authorities have given their authorisation.
The CE symbol on the product certifies its conformity with the
technical guidelines concerning user safety and electro-mag-
netic compatibility valid at the time of approval; in accordance
with European directive No. 91\263\EEC.
This product complies with IP50 - according to IEC 529 / EN
60 529.
Any radio-based equipment can potentially cause interference
with other equipment and can be interfered from other equip-
ment. This also applies for DECT equipment. However due to
the very low transmission power level the changes for interfe-
rence are very small. Research proves that operational DECT
phones normally don't influence electronic equipment howe-
ver some precautions must be taken into account for sensiti-
ve electronic equipment e.g. sensitive laboratory equipment.
When DECT phones operate in straight nearness of sensitive
electronic equipment incidental influence can appear. You are
advised not to place the DECT phone on or close (less then
10 cm) to this kind of equipment, even in standby mode.
Please also use the other documentation supplied with the
various parts of your telephone system.
The mains voltage of the adapter should match the local
mains voltage, this can be 110 V or 220 V. Check if both vol-
tages do match before installing the charger and adapter.
• Do not open the handset or charger, this could expose you
to high voltages. Have all repairs carried out by authorized
service personel.
• Do not allow the charger and the battery contacts to come
into contact with conductive objects such as keys, paper
clips, rings or bracelets.
• Do not allow the handset and charger to come into contact
with water or chemicals.
• Only use the plug-in AC adapter and battery type supplied.
• Do not use AC adapters which are visibly damaged
(cracked or broken housing) and keep the ventilation slits
on the plug-in AC adapters free.
• Do not use the handsets in vehicles or in hazardous loca-
tions.
• This product contains magnetic material. Be aware that
small metallic objects may stick for example to the loud-
speaker. This may deteriorate the audio quality and can be
harmfull.

Like all other cordless telephones, this handset uses radio
signals which do not guarantee a connection set-up under all
circumstances. Generally, you should therefore not rely exclu-
sively on cordless telephones when making indispensable
calls (e.g. medical emergencies).
2 Installation
Place the charger on a flat, even surface. Do not install the
charger, handset and accessories in the proximity of:
• Water, moisture or damp areas.
• Sources of heat, direct sunlight or unventilated areas.
• Devices which generate strong magnetic fields, electrical
appliances, fluorescent lamps, computers, radios, televi-
sions or fax and telephone terminals.
• Areas where the handset can be covered, its ventilation is
impaired and liquid can get inside.
• Areas where there is excessive dust and areas subject to
vibration, shock or extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Install / keep the handset and accessories out of reach of
small children.
To insert / remove the batteries, proceed as shown in the
drawing:
Push the rear side of
the handset
upwards and remo-
ve or insert the bat-
teries.

To operate the charger a
mains connection is required.
Check if the mains voltage
does match the adapter mains
voltage.
Connect the cable on the
plug-in AC adapter to the ter-
minal on the side of the char-
ger and plug the AC adapter
into the mains socket-outlet.
3 Important Battery Information
Note: use only rechargable AAA NiMh battery of 700 mAh,
1.2 V. Never use a battery which is damaged or worn out.
Heat or cold reduces the performance and service life of the
batteries. It is possible that a handset with hot or cold batte-
ries can be temporarily out of operation even if the batteries
are fully charged.
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with
local authority regulations. Hand them in for recycling!
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Installing the
Charger
Mains plug

6
The batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but sooner or later they will be worn out. If the opera-
ting time (i.e. talk and standby time) is significantly shorter
than usual, then it is time to replace the batteries.
To maintain optimum operating time, the batteries should be
discharged from time to time by not placing the handset in
the charger but leaving it switched on until it switches itself
off. Only use this method to discharge the batteries.
Extreme temperatures influence the charging capability of the
batteries.
4 Charging the Batteries
Charge the batteries approximately 8 hours before initial use
of the handset. This protective measure extends the service
life of the batteries.
The maximum power output is only attained after three to five
charging and discharging cycles.
Place the handset regularly in the charger thus ensuring opti-
mum charging of the batteries.
When replacing the batteries, pay attention to the correct
polarity. It is essential to make sure that only battery types
approved by the manufacturer are used.
Use only rechargable AAA NiMh battery of 700 mAh, 1.2V.
The manufacturer does not accept liability for malfunctions or
damage caused by using other battery types or normal batte-
ries.
Charging time: (empty batteries) to full capacity in approx. 8
hours.
Talk time: >9 hours (with fully charged batteries).
Standby time: >100 hours (with fully charged batteries).

The charge status of the batteries is indicated by ¡on the
display. This means:
¡batteries fully charged (80 – 100 %)
“batteries 60 – 80 %
¶batteries 40 – 60 %
¢batteries 20 – 40 %
≠batteries 0 – 20 %
≠(frame flashes) batteries are empty: alert tone has been
given.
When batteries are replaced, no icon will be displayed before
a complete charge cycle has been completed, except when
almost empty batteries are inserted in the phone, then the
icon will be shown immediately.
When the battery capacity icon is displayed the indication is
reliable.
If the charged batteries are inserted, the batteries can be-
come hot during the first charge cycle, and if the fully char-
ged batteries are removed from the phone and inserted
again, the batteries can become overcharged.
When the handset is placed in the charger, ”Charging” is
shown on the display and the LED light ring lights steady
green when charging and when fully charged, there is no light
indication.
When the batteries’ capacity is almost exhausted, an acou-
stic warning is given in the form of 3 short ”beep” signals.
Approximately 10 minutes of standby time is left.
5 Initial Setup and Operation
The handset can be operated on up to 10 different DECT
systems. To do so, it has to be registered to each DECT
system.
Register the handset on the DECT system as described in
”Menu: System”.

9 Messages*
This handset can be used to send and receive text messa-
ges. A differentiation is made between urgent and normal
messages which are signalled in different ways on the hand-
set. Every message is stored in a list which can contain up to
10 entries. You can set the behavior of the handset for more
than 10 messages by means of the ”Message Memory: Over-
write” menu item. You can also receive and send messages
during a connection.
The signalling of normal and urgent messages can be effec-
ted by means of different ringer melodies (refer to menu: Rin-
ger Settings).
Messages cannot be sent or received if the handset is outsi-
de the range of the system or is in the charger whilst ”Silent
charging” is switched on.
If a message cannot be delivered, the sender always hears
an error beep. If a message is received whilst you are making
a menu setting, the menu is aborted and all entries which
have not yet been saved are not stored. Furthermore, phone
numbers which have already been entered and the text of a
message which you are currently writing are lost if you receive
a message.
Urgent messages are messages which you must confirm. An
activated key lock is temporarily deactivated when receiving
such a message so that its receipt can be acknowledged. If
you receive an urgent message, this is immediately signalled
on the display and by the illuminated ring which is flashing
orange.
If you use the ringer, you can hear the melody for urgent
messages. The ringer volume increases to the maximum
during the signalling process. If you receive an urgent messa-
ge during a call, you hear a repeated alert tone in the speech
path.
Normal messages are messages which you don’t need to
confirm. The ”Normal Message Display” setting can be used
to select whether or not a normal message is shown. When
selected normal messages are immediately signalled on the
display and by the illuminated ring which is flashing green.
* Only useable when supported by your telephone system
Urgent

Normal

18
If you use the ringer, you hear the melody for normal messa-
ges once. If you receive a normal message during a call, then
you hear a short alert tone in the speech path.
You have to confirm the receipt of an urgent message. When
an urgent message is not confirmed within 60 seconds, the
initiator will be signalled the message has not been received
successfully.
OK confirms the receipt of mes-
sages.
Delete confirms the receipt of
messages and deletes the mes-
sage.
All other keys are blocked until
you confirm the message with
OK or Delete.
If the message list already contains 10 entries, the storage/
non storage of a message depends on the setting of the
”Message Memory: Overwrite” menu item:
If the setting has been selected ( ”√” in front of
”Overwrite”), the oldest message is deleted before the new
message is stored.
If the ”Overwrite” setting has not been selected, the message
is not stored.
A full message memory is indicated by the flashing ∫symbol
on the display.
