Safety precautions
For your safety
The IP telephone HiNet LP5100 complies with the European stan-
dard EN 60 950 which deals with the safety of information technol-
ogy appliances including electronic office equipment. This device
has been designed with safety in mind, thus protecting both indi-
viduals and objects.
There is always the danger of small objects being swallowed by
young children. In the case of the HiNet LP5100, this applies in
particular to the connecting cord clip.
Please make sure that such items are not accessible to children.
●Use only the enclosed power supply together with the special
LAN cable.
●Never open the power supply enclosure.
Protection of the telephone
●The telephone must not be used in bathrooms, etc. as it is not
splashproof.
●Before connecting or pulling off the LAN cable or the headset
cord, pull the power plug out of the plug receptacle first.
Location of the telephone
● The telephone should be operated in a controlled environment
with an ambient temperature between 5 °C and 40 °C (41 °F
and 104 °F).
●To ensure good handsfree talking quality, the area in front of
the microphone (front right) should be kept clear. The opti-
mum handsfree distance is 20 in (50 cm).
●Do not install the telephone in a room where large quantities
of dust accumulate; this can considerably reduce the service
life of the telephone.
●Do not expose the telephone to direct sunlight or any other
source of heat, as this is liable to damage the electronic equip-
ment and the plastic casing.
●Do not operate the telephone in damp environments such as
bathrooms.

Echo effect
If an echo is heard, which in certain cases can be quite severe,
this is normally due to the other client and is not a quality deficien-
cy of the IP Telephone (e.g. Netmeeting with unfavourably posi-
tioned loudspeakers/the microphone can cause a large amount of
feedback).
Service
In the case of any trouble or defects on the unit itself, please dial
the service number of your country.
The Siemens service department can only help you
with trouble or defects on the unit itself.
Should you have any questions regarding the opera-
tion, your specialist retailer or network administrator will
gladly help you with the right answers.
For any questions regarding the telephone connection,
please contact your network provider.
