Welcome to Swissvoice
The BTouch is a cordless phone for connection to the analog telephone network. Inter-
national DECT (GAP)-standard digital technology offers excellent voice quality com-
bined with a very high level of protection against eavesdropping.
You can operate up to 5 handsets on one base station and conduct internal calls
between them free of charge.
Your BTouch supports CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation) provided the
information is available on your connection and the caller's number has not been sup-
pressed. Used in conjunction with the caller list, this provides you with information
about calls even during your absence.
The integrated Bluetooth®function allows you to operate compatible headsets and
mobile phones.
Your BTouch has a digital telephone answering machine which is easy to operate from
the handset and base station.
Set aside some time to read this user manual carefully and get to know and use the
wide range of functions offered by your BTouch.

• Store the connection cable carefully to avoid accidents!
• Important notes on using the battery are given at the end of this User Guide.
• Do not position the handset or base station near heat sources, in direct sunlight or
in the vicinity of other electrical equipment.
• Protect your telephone against dust and avoid getting it wet or exposing it to
aggressive liquids and condensation.
• Do not plug the connection cable into sockets other than the one for which it is
intended.
• Connect only authorised accessories.
• Use only the Type S004LV0600045 mains adapter included in the package.
• Make sure that the socket to which the phone is to be plugged in is accessible at all
times in order to unplug the phone from the mains.
• Never place the handset in the base station without the battery compartment cover
• Research has shown that under certain circumstances medical devices can be

Location
To achieve the best possible range, we recommend positioning the base station in a
location central to your area of activity.Avoid positioning the telephone in niches,
recesses and behind steel doors. The maximum range between the base station and
handset is approximately 300 meters.
Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the
range may be smaller. The indoor range is usually less than the outdoor range. Silent
zones can occur due to the digital transmission in the frequency range used, and even
within the range, depending on the structural environment. Normal call 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. When the range is
exceeded, the connection will be broken unless you move back into range within ten
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 (at least 1
meter) from other equipment.
Range of Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth cordless technology transmits radio signals over a short distance (approxi-
mately 9 meters). The connected Bluetooth devices must therefore be within a nine-
meter radius of the BTouch base station (with no obstacles in the way).
Setting up the base station
Your telephone is designed for normal operating conditions. Modern furniture features
a wide range of varnishes and plastic veneers and is treated with a large number of dif-
ferent polishes. Some of these agents may contain ingredients that corrode and soften
the plastic feet of the base station. If this happens, the feet may leave undesirable
marks on the furniture surface.
Understandably, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for such damage. We
therefore recommend that you position your telephone on a non-slip underlay or mat,
especially if it is placed on new or varnished furniture.

Connecting the phone
Before you can start using your telephone you must plug in the telephone connection
cords and the mains cable.
Telephone connection cord
Insert one end of the telephone connection cord in the socket marked with the tele-
phone symbol, and insert the other end in your telephone wall socket. Use the adapter
provided if required.
Mains cable
First, insert the mains cable in the socket marked with the mains connector symbol on
the base of the base station. Then insert the mains connector in the 230 V mains
socket.
Make sure that the mains socket is accessible at all times in order to unplug the phone
from the mains.
• Use only the S004LV0600045 mains adapter provided for the base station!
• Use only the connection cable provided. Other connection cables may be
configured differently and can cause malfunctions.
• Your telephone will not function if the mains connector is not plugged in or
during a power failure.
• To ensure correct functioning, set up the connection to the telephone net-
work only after the battery is fully charged.

Removing the cords
First unplug the mains connector from the 230 V socket and the plug from the tele-
phone connection socket.
To release the cord from the device, press the holding hook towards the plug while
simultaneously pulling the plug out along with the cord.
Putting the handset into operation
Your handset is ready to use only when the battery has been fully charged up. Only
then can you can accept or make calls on this handset.
Removing the battery compartment cover
Press down lightly on the battery compartment cover in the hollow area, and push up.
Inserting the rechargeable battery
There is a battery compartment on the bottom of the handset for housing the battery
pack. Important notes on using batteries are given at the end of this User Guide.
• Insert the battery pack in the battery compartment.
• Connect the battery as illustrated.
• Replace the compartment cover by placing it approximately 5 mm below, offset,
and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.
Charging the battery
The battery is not fully charged when you first unpack the telephone. To charge the
battery, place the handset on the base station. The animated battery symbol on the
BTouch handset signals the charging procedure. The battery will take around 16 hours
to fully charge. The following symbols indicate the charging status on the handset dis-
play.

Once the battery is fully charged, insert the telephone connector in the telephone
socket. Your telephone is now ready to use.
Please note: after inserting a new battery for the first time, the battery display will indi-
cate the correct information on the charging status only after a complete charging
cycle.
You can replace the handset in the base station after every call. Charging is electroni-
cally controlled to ensure optimal charging of the battery in different charge states.
Avoid removing the battery from the handset without good reason, since this could
affect the optimum charging cycle.
You can improve the capacity of the battery if the handset battery is fully discharged
and then fully recharged.
You can telephone for up to 10 hours with a fully charged battery.
If the battery charge status has reached its lower limit, the charging symbol flashes in
the display and a warning signal is heard (if battery alert is activated). You then have
10 minutes of talk time left.
• Use only the battery pack provided or an approved replacement battery
pack.
• Never place the handset in the base station without the battery compart-
ment cover!

Automatic adjustment of range
The range of the base station is reduced as soon as the handset is inserted in the
base station and the telephone is in standby mode. This reduces the range by more
than 99% provided only one handset is registered on the base station. During calls the
range of the handset is reduced as soon as the handset is in the vicinity of the base
station. The range of the handset reduces by approximately 75%.
In addition you can reduce the range during calls to approximately 25% (roughly half
the range) – see "Setting the range".
Base station power consumption
The phone is equipped with an energy-efficient mains adapter. Power consumption lev-
els are as follows:
Standby mode: approx. 0.5 Watts (normal mode)
approx. 1.1 Watts (charging mode)
During calls: approx. 1.5 Watts

Bluetooth
In addition to fixed network telephone calls, the user-friendly BTouch allows you to
make and receive calls over your Bluetooth GSM connection.
Bluetooth cordless technology transmits radio signals over a short distance (approx. 9
meters). The connected Bluetooth devices must therefore be within a nine-meter radius
of the BTouch base station (with no obstacles in the way).
Locate your GSM phone within the Bluetooth range of the BTouch, activate the Blue-
tooth connection and enjoy the convenience of making all GSM calls over the BTouch.
You can pair (register) up to four compatible GSM phones and one Bluetooth headset
to the base station. Two of these devices can be simultaneously connected to the base
station, one of which can have an active voice connection via the base station.
One Bluetooth headset can be paired (registered) and connected to the base station.
This reduces the number of GSM phones which can be paired (see above) to three.
A Bluetooth device must be registered (paired) before it can be used on the BTouch.
Once this has been done, you can set up the connection. The menu for the Bluetooth
function is provided on the base station.
