AAA batteries (microcells).
Removing the battery compartment cover
Slide the battery compartment cover downwards (approx.3
mm) and lift it up.
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.

20406039en_ba_e0
Setting the language
When the batteries have been inserted for the first time the language choice appears.
1. Press to scroll to the desired language (default setting on delivery is German).

procedure.
3. If you have more than one IP line: After successful registration you can directly select
the incoming line(s) the handset is attached to and the default outgoing line for your
handset.
Note
• To register your handset you must install a base station first!
• If you interrupt the registration for a while, the registration menu will disappear (dis-
play turns off automatically). Place the handset back into the charger: the menu reap-
pears.
• Refer to chapter "Settings / Registration" for further information.

11
20406039en_ba_e0
Connecting the charger
Before you can start using your charger you must first plug in the mains cable: Insert the
plug into the corresponding socket on the charger. Then insert the power supply in the
230 V socket. Place the handset on the charger (make sure that the batteries are insert-
ed!).
Note
• Your telephone will not function if the power supply is not plugged in or during a
power failure (no emergency mode).
• The cable must pass under the charger to assure its proper standing.
• Position the base station in a clean, dry and well-aired location. The ambient tempera-
ture must be between +5°C and +40°C.
Safety note
Use only the following supplied power supply:
- MN-A002-A080 ; 7.5 V , 300mA from MEIC
Charging the batteries
The batteries are not yet charged when you first unpack the telephone. Insert the hand-
set in the charger. The flashing battery symbol on the handset shows the charging status.
The batteries will take around 14 hours to fully charge. Your handset is then ready to use.

Socket for mains cable

12
20406039en_ba_e0
• Do not insert the handset in the charging 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:
“full“ “1/2“ “empty“
Important!
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:
- NiMH AAA 750 from Hisund or
- KF-AAA750H from Kaifeng Batteries or
- 80AAAHC from GP Industrial
Note
• You can replace the handset in the charger 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 auto-
matically 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 150 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 only a few minutes of talk time
left.

20406039en_ba_e0
Location
The maximum range between the base station and handset is approximately 50 meters
indoors and 300 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 dis-
connected unless you move back into range within a few seconds.
➭Do not expose the handset/charger to direct sunlight.
➭Protect the handset/charger against moisture. Do not position the handset/charger in
rooms exposed to condensation, corrosive steam or excessive dust. Condensation can
be present in basements, garages, conservatories or sheds.
➭The ambient temperature must be between 5 °C and 40 °C.
Position the handset/charger 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 handset/charger 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.
