WARNING
Do not place your Telstra V1600
in the bathroom or other humid
areas
You need to place your Telstra V1600 within 2
metres of mains power and telephone sockets so
that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Handset range
The handset reception range
from the base is up to 300m
outdoors and up to 50m
indoors. Thick walls can severely
affect the range.
Your Telstra V1600 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of
the signals depends on where you site the base.
Putting it as high as possible can help provide the
best signal.
Range indicator
The symbol on your
handset display indicates when
you are in range of the base. If
the symbol flashes and you hear
a warning beep, you are out of
range and will need to move
closer to the base.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Then
plug the power adaptor into the mains wall
socket and switch the power on. The power
indicator on the base lights up.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone
line until the handset(s) is fully
charged.
The base must be plugged into
the mains power at all times.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover and
insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into
the handset. Slide the battery compartment
cover back into place.
3. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by
placing it on the base. The red Charging
indicator on the base comes on.
The screen will show the standby display and a
scrolling battery icon to show that the handset is
charging.
The backlit screen will
turn off after
approximately 30 sec.
Press any key to turn on
the screen again.
4. After16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into
your Telstra V1600 base unit and the other end
into the wall socket.
Battery low warning
When the battery charge is low
the handset battery icon will be
empty and flashing. Place the
handset back on the base to
recharge.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries
should give up to 10 hours talk
time or 100 hours standby on a
single charge. See ‘battery
performance’ on the following
page.

7 Getting started
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the
best conditions, leave the
handset off the base for a few
hours at a time (after the initial
16 hour charge).
Please note however, that new
NiMH batteries do not reach full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Running the batteries right
down a least once a week will
help them last as long as
possible.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will
reduce with time as they wear
out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the
handset.
Eventually, they will need to be
replaced. New batteries can be
obtained from your nearest
electrical retailer.
Helpline
If you have any difficulties
setting up your Telstra V1600,
please call Product Information
on 1300 302 699.

If you have subscribed to Telstra’s Calling Number
Display* service, the time and date will be set
automatically when you receive your first call. You
can also set the time manually.
1. On the handset, press Menu. Press to scroll
down to
Time settings then press OK. Scroll

2. Enter the date, e.g. 02 05 for 2
nd
May. Press OK.
3. Enter the time, e.g. 10 45 for 10:45am. Press OK.
This overwrites the current setting. If you make a
mistake press Clear to delete. Press OK.

Your Telstra V1600 is now ready to use.
