Important information

The telephone base station is equipped with an energy-efficient switching power supply (Input 100~240 VAC, Output 6 VDC, 300 mA).

The zero load is approx. 0.15 W. The average efficiency is approx.

65.9%. The base station has the following power consumption levels:

• in operation (standby/call): Approx. 0.5 W / 0.8 W
• while charging the handset: Approx. 1 W

The charging station(s) supplied with a telephone set is (are) equipped with an energy-efficient switching power supply (Input

100~240 VAC, Output 6 VDC, 450 mA).

The zero load is approx. 0.15 W.

The average efficiency is approx. 65.9% .

The charging station has the following power consumption levels:

• without a handset: Approx. 0.15 W
• while charging the handset: Approx. 0.6 W

Range

To use the telephone, the base station and handset may be maximally 300m apart outdoors and 50m apart indoors. These range values can be reduced if large, metallic objects are located between the base station and handset, e.g. refrigerators, mirrors, doors, filing cabinets, etc. Other solid objects, such as walls, also cause a reduction in the range as do sources of electrical interference.

Inserting the battery pack

Slide the battery compartment cover downwards and then remove it. Connect the plug on the battery pack in the socket in the battery compartment. Insert the battery pack in the battery compartment. Only use the battery pack supplied. Pay attention that the cable is not jammed. Replace the cover back on the battery compartment and slide it upwards until it snaps into place.

11 Extending the Telephone System

The internationally approved GAP^1 standard regulates the compatibility of handsets and 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.

Registering handsets

Up to 5 handsets can be registered on the base station. All handsets contained within the scope of delivery of this telephone set are already registered with the base station.

To complete the registration process, you need the current 4-digit PIN code²; Page 113.

Before starting to register a handset, switch the base station to Registration mode.

5 sec.

Wait for an acoustic signal: Start Registration mode

The base station is then in Registration mode for approx. 1 minute. Continue with the handset. The registration process must be completed within this one minute period:

When the registration process is completed successfully, you will hear a confirmation signal, the antenna icon lights up permanently and the handset is assigned an internal call number which appears in the display in Standby mode.

1 GAP: Generic Access Profile = Standard for the interoperation of handsets and base stations from different manufacturers.
2 The 4-digit PIN code is set to 0000 by default.

Each handset can only be registered on one base station.

Deregistering handsets

To complete the deregistration process, you need the current 4-digit PIN code; Page 113.

You cannot complete the deregistration process from the handset you want to deregister!

Handsets are deregistered via the menu; Page 113.

The antenna icon flashes in the display of the deregistered handset. The REGISTRATION message also appears.

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 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 Flash time is set using the menu. Refer to Page 112 for the sequence of menu option selections.

R function (Flash) and supplementary services

Your telephone supports supplementary services provided by your telephone network provider, such as brokering, call waiting and conference facilities. These supplementary services can be used by implementing the R button. Please contact your telephone network provider regarding which Flash time must be set to use the supplementary services. Also contact your telephone network provider with regard to enabling supplementary services. The Flash time is set using the menu. Refer to Page 112 for the sequence of menu option selections.

Caller number display (CLIP)

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 his 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.

1 CLIP: Calling Line Identification Presentation = Displays the caller's phone number.

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.

2 sec. R

Insert a dialling pause

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

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