Introduction
Your Aton CLT418ISDN is fitted with the latest innovations in terms of reduction of
electromagnetic radiation (so called "electro-smog") as well as electrical power
consumption reduction.
The Ecomode plus includes three main features:
When in standby, the electromagnetic radiation is automatically shut down between
the base station and the handset(s). This works with one ore more handsets declared
to the base station. The handset(s) and the base station are waiting for a wake-up
signal should a call come in, when you activate one handset or when the system
synchronises some data.
In other terms, electromagnetic radiation is generated only when the system is in use!
(refer to chapter Settings/Ecomode plus for settings).
of the handset is achieved when it is near the base
station. The handset's power transmission are regulated; the power transmitted from
the handset to the lower level, depending on the distance
to the base station (refer to chapter Settings/Ecomode plus for settings).
The efficiency of the switching power supply reduces the electrical consumption of
the telephone up to 60%. Combined with the Radiation Reduction and Multi
Handset Low Radiation Mode it contributes to save energy and costs.

11
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
1 base station
1 connector cable (ISDN)
1 mains unit 6V 600mA SSA-5W-05 EU 060060F or
5.8V 600mA SSA-5W-05 EU 058060F
1 handset
2 rechargeable batteries NiMH AAA 800 mAh Model No. GP80AAAHC
1 user manual (3 languages ger/fr/it)
1 belt clip (mounted)
1 environmental card (Swisscom)
To obtain the best possible range, we recommend positioning the telephone in a
location central to your sphere of activity. Avoid positioning the telephone in niches,
recesses and behind steel doors.
The maximum range between the base station and handset is approximately 40
meters indoors and 250 meters outdoors. Depending on the surrounding conditions
as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be smaller. Silent zones can
occur due to the digital transmission in the frequency range used –even within the
range, depending on the structural environment. In this case the transmission quality
may be reduced through the increased incidence of short breaks in transmission.
Normal call quality can be restored if you move slightly out of the silent zone. If the
range is exceeded, the call will be disconnected unless you move back into range
within five seconds.
To avoid radio signal interference from other electronic equipment, we recommend
that the base station and handset are situated at the greatest possible distance (min.1
meter) from other equipment.

12
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
You can use a repeater to extend the range and receiving power of your base station.
The repeater must first be registered and activated on the base station. (Your
telephone is delivered with the default setting "off").
Note
For settings refer to chapter "Settings, Repeater".
Repeater and Ecomode plus mode are mutually exclusive.

Do not expose the base station to direct sunlight.

Protect the base station against moisture. Do not position the base station in
rooms exposed to condensation, corrosive steam or excessive dust. Condensation
can be pre-sent in basements, garages, conservatories or sheds.

The ambient temperature must be between 5 °C and 40 °C.
Position the base station in a clean, dry and well-aired location. Choose a place which
is stable, level, and not subject to vibrations. To avoid mutual interference, do not
position the base station in the immediate vicinity of electronic equipment such as
hi-fi systems, office equipment or microwave ovens. Avoid positioning the telephone
near heat sources such as heating elements or near obstacles such as metal doors,
thick walls, niches and cupboards.
There is no mains switch on the base station. For this reason the socket to which it is
connected must be easy to access.
When you are on the telephone, the base station and handset are connected to each
other over a radio link. The base station handles switching between the telephone
network and the handset. To ensure that no-one can eavesdrop or telephone at your
cost, the base station and handset exchange codes. If the codes do not match, the
connection with third-party handsets cannot be set up.

13
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
Before you can start using your telephone you must plug in the telephone connector
cable and the mains cable.
Note
The cables must pass above the stand to assure the proper standing of
the base station.
Socket for mains cable
Socket for telephone connector cable
Use only the supplied mains adapter 6V 600mA SSA-5W-05 EU
060060F or 5.8V 600mA SSA-5W-05 EU 058060F for the base
station!

Insert the the ISDN telephone connector cable in the socket marked with the
telephone symbol on the base station. Insert the other plug in your telephone
connection socket.

First, insert the mains cable in the socket marked with the mains connector symbol on
the base station. Then insert the mains plug in the 230 V socket.
Note
Your telephone will not function if the mains connector is not plugged
in or during a power failure (no emergency mode).

14
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
Your handset will be ready for operation (for making or accepting calls) only once the
batteries have been fully charged for the first time.
The bottom part of the handset contains a battery compartment for housing two
type AAA batteries (microcells).
Press on the top of the
clip and shift it upwards
to remove it.
Slide the battery
compartment cover
downwards (approx.3
mm) and lift.
Insert the batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity is correct.
Insert the batteries so that the flat end (negative polarity) of the battery is pressing
against the spring. The handset will not function if the batteries are incorrectly
inserted. This may result in damage. Replace the compartment cover by placing it
approximately 3 mm offset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

15
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
The batteries are not yet charged when you first unpack the telephone. Insert the
handset in the base station for charging. The flashing battery symbol on the handset
shows the charging status. The batteries will take around 14 hours to fully charge.
Note
Do not insert the handset in the base station without batteries.
Do not use any other type of charging unit since this may damage
the batteries.
The following symbols indicate the charging status on the handset display:
Charging status "full"
Charging status "1/2"
Charging status "empty"
Once the new batteries have been inserted, the display on the handset indicates the
actual charging status only after a complete charging cycle.
Your telephone is now ready to use.
Please note: after you have inserted the batteries for the first time, the battery display
will indicate the correct information on the charging status only after a complete
charging cycle.
Use only approved rechargeable batteries NiMH AAA. Never use
disposable batteries/primary cells.
Approved models:
GP80AAAHC
H-AAA750A-UN
GP75AAAHC
GN85AAAHC
H-AAA900A

16
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
Note
You can replace the handset in the base station after every call.
Charging is electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging of
batteries in different charge states. Avoid removing the batteries from
the handset for no good reason, since this affects the optimum
charging cycle.
Because your telephone is fitted with a low-radiation mechanism, the
antenna automatically switches off in standby mode and cannot
therefore emit any radiation. Your telephone is delivered with this
function switched on.
You can telephone for up to 12 hours with fully charged batteries.
The handset has a standby time of up to 120 hours.
If the battery charge status has reached its lower limit, the battery
symbol ( ) flashes in the display and a warning signal is heard. You
have 10 minutes of talk time left.
The language choice appears. Press to scroll to the desired language and press
to confirm.
An installation assistant guides you then step by step through the setup procedure
for your telephone.
Enter time and date according to the displayed instructions.
Note
The installation assistant will re-appear following a reset of the
telephone (reset to default settings).

17
20405223en_ba_b0
Setting up the telephone
When you ordered your ISDN connection, your network operator will have assigned
you several Multiple Subscriber Numbers (MSN). You can assign these numbers to
different devices or assign individual numbers to different users. Every MSN (user) can
then define individual settings for the number assigned to him or her.
Your telephone can manage up to 5 MSNs. To use all the functions, you must set up
at least one MSN with user name (see section on "Assigning an MSN").
To change users, press the softkey under . Use to scroll to CHANGE USER
and select the relevant user. The current user is displayed. You can now access the
activated user's call lists, charge displays and individual settings. To find out how to
set preferences for individual MSNs, refer to the section on "MSN settings".
Note
The CHANGE USER menu can only be accessed if more than one MSN
has been programmed.
