Getting started
Signal strength
The SIGNAL symbol on your handset screen indicates when you are in range.
When you are out of range, the symbol fl ashes, and the screen displays
Searching
. You should move closer to the
base if this happens to ensure the full functionality of your phone.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until at least one of the handsets is fully charged.
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give approximately 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby
time on a single charge.
Battery low warning
If the symbol is fl ashing, you will need to recharge your handset before using it.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour
charge). New NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. Running the
batteries right down at 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 purchased from your local electrical retailer or from TecHelp on 1300 369 193.
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
IMPORTANT
Only use the power supply and telephone line cord supplied with your Telstra 7300/7300a otherwise the telephone may not
work.
