Information
Please read these operating instructions carefully. If you should have any questions,
please contact our Service Department on the Hotline number 0180 5 00 13 88
(Telekom cost at the time of printing 12 cents/min). Under no circumstances open the
unit yourself and do not try to carry out your own repairs. For any claims under the
warranty, please refer to your dealer.
Intended use -
This telephone has been designed for use on an analogue telephone
line (PSTN) within Germany. However, no guarantee can be accepted for trouble-free
operation on all telecommunications terminal equipment connections due to the
differences between the different telecommunications network operators. The telephone
requires a TAE socket with F/N coding in common with other plug-in units such as fax
machines, answering machines or modems. Connect the telephone cable to the phone
socket intended for the purpose only. Do not change the plug on the connecting cable.
Power failure -
If the power should fail, it will not be possible to make calls using the
telephone. Keep a cord-connected phone handy, which works without an external
power supply, for possible emergencies.
Position -
There must be a 230 Volt mains socket near to where the telephone is
positioned. Do not set up the base station in the immediate vicinity of other electrical
equipment such as microwaves or hi-fi systems, as this may result in mutual
interference. The location has a decisive influence on the trouble-free operation of the
telephone.
Place the base station on a flat and non-slip surface. The feet of the base station do not
normally leave any marks on the surface. However, due to the large number of
varnishes and surfaces in use, it may not be possible to prevent marks occurring on the
surface due to the feet of the unit.
Do not use the handset in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
Excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture, heat or the direct
rays of the sun must be avoided.
Power supply -
Use only the AUDIOLINE plug-in power supply provided, as other
power supplies could damage the telephone. There is a risk to life if the power supply is
opened and not disconnected from the mains.
Standard rechargeable batteries -
do not use any other rechargeable batteries or
battery packs. These could possibly cause a short circuit. When changing batteries,
always use standard batteries, Type AAA 1.2V 750mAh. Do not throw standard
batteries into the fire or immerse in water. Do not dispose of old or defective standard
batteries with the normal household waste.
The maximum standby and talk times quoted are applicable for the standard
rechargeable batteries supplied under optimum conditions. Ambient temperature,
charging cycle and other external factors, such as the radio loading in the area of use,
can considerably reduce the operating times. Furthermore, the charging capacity is
reduced for technical reasons during use or when stored at very high or low
temperatures.
