Display symbols You have unanswered calls in the calls list. You have new messages in your voicebox (network answering machine). You have pressed the Talk key. You have pressed the handsfree key. Indicates the battery charge status. Vibracall/optical call signalisation function activated. Symbol il displayed when the handset is within range of the base station. Flashes when out of range. Indicates that the alarm is set. Indicates that the keypad is locked.Range / Location To obtain the best possible range, we recommend positioning the telephone in a loca- tion central to your sphere of activity. Avoid positioning the telephone in niches, recesses and behind steel doors. The maximum range between base station and handset is approximately 300 meters outdoors. Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be smaller. Silent zones can occur due to the digital transmis- sion in the frequency range used – even within the range, depending on the structural environment. In this case the transmission quality may be reduced through the increased incidence of short breaks in transmission. Normal call quality can be restored if you move slightly out of the silent zone. If the range is exceeded, the call will be disconnected unless you move back into range within ten seconds. Battery advice Use only the original batteries (3 x NiMH, AAA, 1.2 V / 800 mAh) as well as the original power supply (7,5 V DC). The handset operating times (standby 120 hours/active 6 hours) and charging times apply only if the battery is charged to the defined minimum capacity (1.2 V / 800 mAh). Charging is electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging and care of batteries in different charge states. Full capacity is achieved only after several charging cycles. Note: Using other rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries/primary cells can be dangerous and cause malfunctions or damage to the telephone. Do not short-circuit the batteries (danger). In particular, avoid inadvertent short-circuits during storage and transport e.g. bunch of keys, metal panels or similar objects, and make sure the batteries do not come into contact with greasy materials. When not in the handset, therefore, batteries should be stored only in insulating packaging. Ensure also that the contacts do not touch greasy parts. Rechargeable batteries can become warm while recharging. This is a normal occurrence and is not dangerous. Aeris 146 20 Aeris 146Connecting the phone

• The Internet/cable telephony provider may not provide the function on its Internet/cable telephony connection.
