1. Introduction
1. Introduction
This document describes features and settings of the WLAN Handset. The WLAN Handset is
feature-rich with color display, telephony, and messaging. It is designed to be used in
medium demanding environments such as hospital environments, but also in office
environments.
The handset is aimed at users that need to be reachable and that need mobile voice and
messaging features. This makes it ideal for applications where the user needs either one
way messaging or to be able to interact with other users. The color display enhances and
simplifies the use of the handset.
All procedures in this document are according to default programmed versions, but
additional functions and factory settings are also included as an attempt to cover all
functionality.
NOTE: Some functions are dependent on the PBX and protocol (H.323/SIP) versions, and
your system does not support all functions described in this document. For more
information about your system, please contact the person (or department)
responsible for the system in your organization, or contact your supplier.
There are two versions of the WLAN Handset:
•WL3
• WL3 Plus with messaging and alarm functions.
NOTE: WL3 may be upgraded by license to use messaging.
Refer to the Data Sheet for a complete list of licenses.
Read chapter 2. Safety and Regulatory Instructions on page 5 before using the WLAN
Handset.
For software download and parameter set up, refer to the Installation and Operation
Manual, Portable Device Manager, Windows version TD 92712EN, and the Configuration
Manual, WL3 WLAN Handset and WL3 Plus WLAN Handset, TD 92930EN.
1.1 Target Group
This document is targetted at personnel responsible for handling the administration and
distribution of handsets at the end customer site, or anyone interested in aquiring deeper
knowledge about the product. For example, a system administrator, or an end user.
1.2 Prerequisite
Before using the handset, the system administrator must register the handset in the PBX for
voice, and in the applicable WSG modules for messaging and the optional central
management.
Refer to the Configuration Manual, WL3 WLAN Handset and WL3 Plus WLAN Handset,
TD 92930EN.

2. Safety and Regulatory
2. Safety and Regulatory Instructions
Read this chapter before using the WLAN Handset.
For safe and efficient operation of the handset, observe the guidelines given in this manual
and all necessary safety precautions when using the handset. Follow the operating
instructions and adhere to all warnings and safety precautions located on the product, the
Quick Reference Guide and the User Manual.
Do not disassemble the handset. Disassembling the handset voids the warranty. The
handset consists of no consumer serviceable components. Service should be performed by
Authorized Service Center only.
Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This product shall only be used with the following batteries:
• Permitted rechargeable batteries: OpenStage WL3 Lithium-Ion 930 mAh Order number:
S30122-X8008-X38
Single chargers shall only be connected with power adapters supplied by the manufacturer.
Available power adapters (Suppliers Designation) are:
• OpenStage WL3 desktop charging unit and power supply unit: European Union, Order
number: S30122-X8008-X24
• OpenStage WL3 desktop charging unit and power supply unit: UK, USA, CAN, AUS, Order
number: S30122-X8008-X26
• OpenStage WL3 desktop charging unit without power supply unit: Order number:
S30122-X8008-X27
The Charging Rack shall only be connected with the following power supply:
• 100–240 VAC/0.7A 50/60 Hz.
IMPORTANT: In Sweden, Norway and Finland a connection to protective earth (safety
grounding) must be provided.
IMPORTANT: In the USA and Canada the Charging Rack must only be installed as a single unit,
serial configuration is not permitted.
2.1 Precautions
•Save this manual. It includes important safety information and operating instructions.
Save all instructions for future reference.
• Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing. Exposure to excessive sound
pressure from a handset’s earpiece or headset may cause permanent hearing loss.
• The handset may retain small metal objects around the earpiece region.
• Connect AC (power supply) to the Desktop Charger only to designated power sources as
marked on the product.
Danger: Never change the AC cord or plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection increases the risk
of electric shock.
• Position the electrical cord to the AC power supply where it is least likely to be subjected
to damage or stress.
• Remove the electrical cord from an outlet by pulling gently on the AC adapter, not by
pulling the cord.

2. Safety and Regulatory
• Unplug the Desktop Charger from a power source (or remove handset from charger)
before cleaning the handset to reduce risk of electric shock.
• Do not use auxiliary equipment with the handset which is not exclusively recommended
by the manufacturer, see the User Manual. The use of any auxiliary equipment not
recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury, and will
void the warranty.
• Do not expose the handset to open flame.
• Do not expose the handset and/or the charger to direct sunlight for long periods. Keep
the handset and/or charger away from excessive heat and moisture.
• Do not allow heavy objects to fall on the handset.
• Do not allow children to play with the product packaging material. Product packaging
material is often small and may present a choking hazard.
• Do not allow children to play with the handset. It is not a toy. Children could hurt
themselves or others. Children could also damage the handset.

2.4 Environmental Requirements
2.4.1 WLAN Handset
• Only use the handset in temperatures between
-5 °C and +45 °C (23 °F and 113 °F).
• Avoid exposing the handset for direct sunlight or close to other heat sources.
• Do not expose the handset to open flame.
• Keep the handset away from excessive heat and moisture.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent condensation in the handset. It is
recommended to put the handset into an air tight plastic bag until the temperature is
adjusted, for example, when entering or leaving a cold/heated building on a warm/cold
day.
• Protect your handset from aggressive liquids and vapors.
• If the handset has been exposed for water or condense, remove the battery immediately
and let it dry completely before re-inserting the battery.
• Keep the handset away from strong electromagnetic fields.
• Do not place a cold handset in a charger.
Chemical Resistance
The alpha and numeric characters printed on the exterior of the handset have been tested
and found resistant to chipping, fading or wearing off when the handset is treated with
common cleaners and disinfectants or perspiration. The following chemicals have shown no
harmful effect:
•3% Hydrochloric Acid
•M-alcohol(70% Methylated Ethanol)
•60% Chlorhexidine 0.5 mg/ml
• Acetone can be damaging to the plastic casing of the handset and should not be used.
2.4.2 Battery
• Do not immerse the battery into water. This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not expose a battery to an open flame. This could cause the battery to explode.
• Do not allow the metal contacts on the battery to touch another metal object. This could
short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not leave a battery where it could be subjected to extremely high temperatures, such
as inside a car on a hot day.
• Use the Desktop Charger or the wall-mounted Charging Rack for charging. Charge the
battery for at least one hour the first time you use the battery. Note that the wall-
mounted Battery Pack Charger has to be used if the battery alone is to be charged.
• Do not charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is above 40 °C or below
5 °C (above 104 °F or below 41 °F).
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
• Do not disconnect the battery unless it needs to be replaced.
