Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

The telephone set, comprised of handset(s) and base station, is suitable for telephoning within a public telephone network system. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the device or complete any repair work yourself.

Power failure

The telephone cannot be used to make calls in the event of a power failure. Always keep a wired telephone which operates without an external power supply available in case of emergency situations.

Installation location

The installation location is a decisive factor to ensure trouble-free operation.

Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Do not use the telephone in potentially explosive areas.

Do not place the telephone (base station) in the direct vicinity of other electronic devices such as TV sets, microwave ovens, refrigerators etc., because they can mutually affect each other. Do not place the telephone (base station) near another phone. Ensure that no large metallic objects, such as a refrigerator or a mirror, are located between the base station and handset. Walls, too, can impair the connection between the base station and handset.

Position the telephone (base station) near a suitable power socket and telephone line socket. Pay attention that the cable cannot be tripped over!

Attention: The cables must not be extended!

Place the telephone (base station) on a level, non-slip surface. Normally, the device footpads do not leave any marks on the surface where it is located. However, due to the diverse types of paints and surfaces which come into question, it cannot be fully ruled out that the footpads will leave marks on the surface on which it is located.

The higher the base station is located (even inside a building), the further its range.

Power adapter plug

Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied because other adapter plugs could damage the telephone. Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or such.

Rechargeable batteries

Attention: Never throw batteries into a fire. Only use batteries of the same type. Pay attention to correct polarity. Incorrect polarity of the battery represents a risk of explosion during charging.

Attention: Only use the rechargeable batteries prescribed. Never use standard batteries. Risk of explosion!

Medical equipment

Attention: Never use the telephone in the vicinity of medical equipment. Effects on such equipment cannot be fully ruled out.

Hearing aid compatibility

The telephone is compatible with most popular hearing aids on the market. However, it cannot be guaranteed that all hearing aids will work perfectly.

DECT ¹ telephones can cause an unpleasant humming sound in hearing aids.

Disposal

In order to dispose of your device, take it to a collection point provided by your local public waste authorities (e.g. recycling centre). According to laws on the disposal of electronic and electrical devices, owners are obliged to dispose of old electronic and electrical devices in a separate waste container. The adjacent symbol indicates that the device must not be disposed of in normal domestic waste!

Risks to health and the environment from batteries!

Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment. They could contain toxic and ecologically harmful heavy metals. You are legally obliged to dispose of power packs and batteries at the point of sale or in the corresponding containers provided at collection points by local public waste authorities. Disposal is free of charge. The adjacent symbols indicate that the batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste and that they must be disposed of at an authorised collection point.

Packaging materials must be disposed of according to local regulations.

Putting the handset into operation

Connecting the base station

Connect the base station as illustrated in the diagram. For safety reasons, only use the power adapter plug supplied.

It is essential to observe the information regarding the installation location; ☐ Page 106.

With regard to the base station, only use the power adapter plug supplied labelled with the output data 100-240 Vac 6 Vdc 500 mA.

Inserting the batteries

The battery compartment is located on the rear side of the handset. Open the battery compartment and insert the two rechargeable batteries of the type AAA NiMH, 1.2 V 500 mAh. Pay attention to the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.

Charging the batteries

Before the handset is used for the first time, insert it in the base/charging station for at least 8 hours.

When the handset is inserted in the base/charging station properly, you will hear a confirmation signal. The handset warms up during the charging process. This is normal and does not represent a risk. Do not charge the handset with charging units from other manufacturers. The current battery charge status is indicated in the display:

Emergency call numbers

You can store up to 4 phone numbers which can still be dialled even when the call barring function is activated. Refer to Page 118 for the sequence of menu option selections.

Dialling mode

The handset can be operated in analogue exchanges (pulse dialling mode) as well in newer digital exchanges (tone dialling mode / DTMF). The dialling mode is controlled via the menu. Refer to Page 118 for the sequence of menu option selections.

Caller number display (CLIP)

The caller number display (CLIP) and display of date and time are optional services offered by your telephone network provider. Contact them for any further information.

If the CLIP function is available for your telephone system (CLIP = Calling Line Identification Presentation), the number of the caller appears in the display when a call is received - as long as callers have agreed to transmission of their phone number.

If you do not take a call received, the information remains in the display for approx. 6 seconds before the current time and date reappear.

7 Extending the Telephone System

The internationally approved GAP ¹ standard regulates the compatibility of handsets and telephones (base stations) from different manufacturers. As a result, it is possible to integrate SWITEL devices and devices from other manufacturers together in one telephone system. It is possible, however, that some functions are not available.

Multiple handsets

You can register 6 handsets on your telephone (base station).

Registering handsets

Handsets are registered using the menu on the telephone (base station). Refer to Page 118 for the sequence of menu option selections.

Approx. 10 sec.

To initiate the registration process, press the button until the visual call indicator on the phone flashes.

Open the menu

Enter the PIN ² and confirm it

The handset searches for the base station. This process can take up to 2 minutes.

The handset is automatically assigned an internal call number following registration. The internal call number appears in the display.

To register handsets from other manufacturers, please refer to the operating manual supplied with them.

Deregistering handsets

You can only deregister a handset from a telephone (base station) using another handset registered on the telephone (base station).

Handsets are deregistered using the menu on the telephone (base station). Refer to Page 118 for the sequence of menu option selections.

Several base stations

You can increase the range of your handset by registering it on several telephones (base stations). The handset can be registered on up to 4 different telephones (base stations) simultaneously. Each telephone (base station) requires its own telephone connection socket. Connections can be used with the same call number or with different ones.

Calls in progress cannot be transferred from one telephone (base station) to another.

¹ GAP: Generic Access Profile = Standard for the interoperation of handsets and base stations from different manufacturers.
² The default PIN code is “0000”.

8 PBX / Supplementary Services

R-button and supplementary services

Your telephone supports supplementary services provided by your telephone network provider, such as brokering, call waiting and conference facilities. Press the R button to use these supplementary services. Please contact your telephone network provider regarding which Recall (Flash) time must be set to use the supplementary services. Also contact your telephone network provider with regard to enabling supplementary services. The Recall time is set using the menu. Refer to Page 118 for the sequence of menu option selections.

R-button on private branch exchanges

If the telephone is connected to a private branch exchange, functions such as transferring calls and automatic call back can be used via the R button. Refer to the operating manual provided with your private branch exchange as to which Recall (Flash) time must be set in order to use these functions. The sales outlet where you purchased the exchange can provide information as to whether the telephone will work properly with the exchange. The Recall time is set using the menu. Refer to Page 118 for the sequence of menu option selections.

Number for an outside line (access code)

When using private branch exchanges, it is necessary to dial an access code to obtain the dialling tone for an outside line. The number for an outside line is often "0" or "9". Dial this number first and wait for the dialling tone. You can then dial the actual phone number.

If one-touch dialling buttons are to be used when the phone is connected to a private branch exchange, please take this into consideration and enter the access code before the actual phone number when programming the one-touch dialling buttons. It is also possible to program a dialling pause between the number for an outside line and the actual phone number, Section "Dialling pause".

Dialling pause

When using private branch exchanges, it is necessary to dial an access code to obtain the dialling tone for an outside line. When using some older private branch exchanges, it takes a little time before the dialling tone becomes audible. In the case of such private branch exchanges, a dialling pause can be inserted after the number for an outside line in order to continue dialling directly without having to wait for the dialling tone. The dialling pause is inserted by pressing and holding the ☐ button for 3 seconds.

The actual phone number is dialled a certain time after the number for an outside line.

The dialling pause can also be entered for the phone numbers in the phone book.

Caller number display (CLIP ¹ )

The caller number display (CLIP) is a supplementary service offered by your telephone network provider. Contact your network provider for further information.

If this function is available with your telephone line, the number of the caller appears in the display when the phone rings. If the caller has suppressed transmission of their phone number, the corresponding message appears in the display. The phone number is not displayed and, as a result, is not stored in the call list.

Answering machine in the telephone network

An answering machine in the telephone network is a supplementary service offered by many telephone network providers. If your telephone network provider offers an answering machine in the telephone network for you, an icon in the display informs you of new messages received (VMWI ² ). This function can only be used when your telephone network provider actually offers the service. Contact your network provider for further information.
