Frequently Asked Questions - DCT50072 Combo SWITEL

How do I set up the Switel DCT50072 Combo for the first time?
Plug the base station into a power outlet and connect the phone line. Insert the rechargeable batteries into the handset and place it on the base to charge for at least 12 hours before first use.
What should I do if the handset does not charge?
Check that the battery contacts are clean and the handset is properly seated on the base. Try a different power outlet. If the problem persists, replace the batteries with new rechargeable AAA Ni-MH batteries.
How can I increase the range of my cordless phone?
Place the base station as high as possible, away from large metal objects and electronic devices like routers and microwaves. Avoid obstacles such as thick walls.
Why is there no dial tone?
Ensure the phone line is securely connected to both the base station and the wall jack. Check that the handset is registered to the base (see manual for registration procedure). If using VoIP, check your adapter.
How do I access the answering machine?
Press the Answering Machine button on the base or handset. You can play, delete, or record a greeting. The maximum recording time is 15 minutes.
Can I use the phone during a power outage?
The base station requires AC power, so it will not work during a power outage. The handset batteries will only power the phone while on the base; without base power, no calls can be made.
How do I store contacts in the phonebook?
Press the Phonebook button, then Add. Enter the name and number using the keypad, and press Save. The phonebook can hold up to 50 entries.
Why is the caller ID not showing?
Ensure that your telephone service provider supports caller ID and that it is activated. Check the Caller ID setting in the phone menu is enabled. The handset display may need to be clean.
How do I change the ringer volume?
While the handset is idle, press the Menu button, navigate to Sounds, then Ringer Volume. Use the volume keys to adjust and confirm.
What type of batteries does the handset use?
The handset uses two rechargeable AAA Ni-MH batteries (1.2V, 600-800 mAh). Do not use alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries.

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

The telephone with handset and charging 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 devices 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 corded 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 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 near another phone. Ensure that no large metallic objects, such as a refrigerator or a mirror, are located between the base unit and handset. Walls, too, can impair the connection between the base unit and handset.

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

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Installation location - 1

Attention: The cables must not be extended!

Place the telephone 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 unit is located (even inside a building), the further its range.

Power adapter plug

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Power adapter plug - 1

Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied because other power adapter plugs could damage the telephone.

Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or such.

Rechargeable batteries

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Rechargeable batteries - 1

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

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Rechargeable batteries - 2

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

Medical equipment

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Medical equipment - 1

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.

9 PBX / Supplementary Services

R-key and recall time, supplementary services

Your telephone supports supplementary services provided by your telephone network provider, such as brokering, call waiting and conference facilities. Press the R 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 (flash) time is set using the menu; Page 169.

R-key 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 key.

The sales outlet where you purchased the exchange can provide information as to whether the telephone will work properly with the exchange. The recall (flash) time is set using the menu; Page 169.

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.

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Number for an outside line (access code) - 1

If one-touch dialling keys 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 keys. 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 #* key for 3 seconds.

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

SWITEL DCT50072 Combo - Dialling pause - 1

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

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.

1 CLIP: Calling Line Identification Presentation = Displays the caller's phone number.
2 VMWI: Visual Message Waiting Indication = Visual indicator that new messages have been recorded.
