Range / Location
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 base station and handset is approximately 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 transmis-
sion 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 ten seconds.

Battery advice
Use only the original battery (Li-Ion 3.7 V / 550 mAh) as well as the original power sup-
ply (6.5 VDC, 300 mA or 7.5 VDC, 200 mA).
The handset operating times (standby 150 hours/active 10 hours) and charging times
apply only if the battery is charged to the defined minimum capacity.
Charging is electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging and care of battery in
different charge states. Full capacity is achieved only after several charging cycles.
Insert the battery
The battery compartment is situated in the
handset.
Open the handset cover.
Insert the battery in the battery compartment.
Replace the handset cover.
Note:
Using other rechargeable battery or non-rechargeable battery/primary cells
can be dangerous and cause malfunctions or damage to the telephone. Do
not short-circuit the battery (danger). In particular, avoid inadvertent short-
circuits during storage and transport e.g. bunch of keys, metal panels or
similar objects, and make sure the battery do not come into contact with
greasy materials. When not in the handset, therefore, battery should be
stored only in insulating packaging. Ensure also that the contacts do not
touch greasy parts.
Rechargeable battery can become warm while recharging. This is a normal
occurrence and is not dangerous.

Appendix
Using Internet/cable telephone adapters on an analog port
When using an analog telephone on the analog connection of an Internet or cable
telephone adapter, not all the described features (in particular calling line display) may
function in the same way as with a standard analog telephone line. This does not
cause the eSense to malfunction.
Several factors can cause a failure of specific features to function:
• The Internet/cable telephony provider may not provide the function on its
Internet/cable telephony connection.
• The adapter used to convert Internet/cable telephony to analog telephony (usually
supplied by the provider) may not forward the functions to connected telephones or
may forward them in a non-analog format.
If this happens, please check the eSense on an analog fixed line and/or contact your
Internet/cable telephony provider.
Care
Your telephone is a sophisticated product in terms of design and construction, and
should therefore be handled with care.
To clean the telephone, wipe first with an antistatic cloth or a damp, soft leather cloth
and then dry using a dry cloth.
Recycling (environmental protection)
At the end of the product's life cycle, the telephone must not be disposed of in
normal domestic waste. Please take it to a collection point for processing
electrical and electronic equipment: see symbol on the product, in the user

Some materials used in this product can be recycled if you take it to a recycling depot.
By recycling parts or raw materials from used products you will be making an important
contribution to environmental protection. Please contact your local authority if you
require information about collection points in your neighbourhood.
