4. When the battery is fully charged,plug
one end of the telephone line cord into the
socket marked on the rear of the base
and the other end into the telephone wall
socket.
WARNING
Do not place your Telstra Slim in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the
mains power socket at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line until the handset
is fully charged.Only use the power and
telephone cables supplied with the product.
Battery low warning
If the icon flashes in the handset display
you will need to recharge the handset before
you can use it again. You will also hear a low
battery warning beep once every 60 seconds.
During charging,the icon will appear to be
filling in the display.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery
should give up to 10 hours talk time, or 100
hours standby time, on a single charge.
Note that a new battery will not reach full
capacity until it has been in normal use for
several days.
To keep the battery in the best condition,
leave the handset off the base for a few hours
at a time.
Running the battery right down at least once
a week will help it last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of the rechargeable
battery will reduce with time as it wears out,
giving the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually it will need to be replaced.A
replacement battery pack can be obtained by
contacting TecHelp on 1300 369 193 or from
your local electrical retailer.
After charging your handset for the first
time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8
hours a day. The battery and handset may
become warm during charging, however, this
is normal.
Getting started
Location
Place your Telstra Slim within 2 metres of the
mains power socket and telephone socket so
that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference.
Your Telstra Slim works by sending radio
signals between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you
locate the base.Putting it as high as possible
ensures the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the socket
marked on the underside of the base,
plug the other end into the mains power wall
socket and switch the power on. You can place
the cable behind the retaining clip to prevent
the plug being accidentally pulled from the
socket.
The base indicator will light up and the
answering machine will be switched on.
