1. GETTING STARTED

1.1 INSTALLING THE BASE

1.1.1 Precautions

As with any radio link, the quality of communication depends on the location and environment of the base and the handset.

The VERSATIS 155 must be kept away from sources of excessive heat (radiators, direct sunlight, etc.) and protected against vibrations and dust. Never allow your telephone to come into contact with water or other liquids or with aerosols.

To reduce the risk of interference and optimise reception, avoid installing the base in the immediate vicinity of windows, large metal objects, reinforced concrete, televisions, music centres, halogen lamps, fluorescent lighting, burglar alarms, microwave ovens, halogen hot-plates, computers, etc.

To clean your VERSATIS, use a lightly moistened antistatic cloth.

Information:

Your VERSATIS telephone is compliant with the DECT ^™* standard. It is designed to transmit and receive telephone calls and be connected to the public telephone network.

We would remind you that VERSATIS is an appliance approved in compliance with European regulations, as proven by the CE marking.

You thus have a legal warranty covering this product and for all information concerning this warranty, please contact your reseller.

Regardless of the legal warranty covering the product, the reseller guarantees conformity of the products with their technical specifications for a period of twelve (12) months, parts and labour, starting from the date appearing on the proof of purchase of the product. You should therefore retain your invoice or till receipt specifying the date of purchase of the product and the name of the reseller. However, if the legal warranty applicable in your country exceeds twelve (12) months, the legal warranty alone then applies. However, if the legal warranty is less than twelve (12) months, the total period of the warranty (legal and commercial) will be of twelve (12) months. The non-conforming part or product will be repaired or replaced free of charge by an identical part or product or one that is equivalent or superior in terms of functionality and performance. If it proves impossible to repair or replace the item, the product will be reimbursed.

Products and spare parts - which may be either new or refurbished - are guaranteed either for three months from the date of repair or until the end of the initial warranty period, whichever is the longer. Products and parts that have been returned and replaced become the property of the manufacturer.

However, this warranty does not apply in the following cases:

• installation or use in a way which fails to comply with the instructions contained in this guide;
• incorrect connection or non-standard use of the product, notably with accessories not designed for the purpose;
  • devices subjected to shocks or falls;

• devices damaged by lightning, voltage surge, heat sources or radiation therefrom, water, exposure to excessive humidity, or any other cause external to the product itself;

  THE PRESENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED.

8. SAFETY

In the event of danger, the mains adapter acts as 230V power isolating device. It should therefore as a precaution be installed close to the appliance and be easily accessible.

To isolate the device from the primary power source, the mains adapter must be removed from the 230 V AC 50 Hz outlet.

If the mains adapter fails, it must be replaced by an identical model.

If not connected to the mains power or if there is a mains power failure, installations with cordless handsets will no longer work. You will then be unable to make or receive calls in the event of an emergency. This is why we recommend that you also have a conventional telephone as a backup.

! Do not use your telephone to notify a gas leak when standing in the vicinity of the leak.

It is recommended that you avoid using this device during electrical storms.

ATLINKS hereby declares that the VERSATIS 155 conforms to the essential requirements and other applicable provisions of European directive 1999/5/CE.

The certificates of conformity can be consulted on our website "www.atlinks.com".

9. ENVIRONMENT

Used handset batteries must be disposed of in compliance with current environmental protection regulations. You should return your batteries to your reseller or dispose of them in an approved recycling centre.

Do not attempt to open the batteries as they contain chemical substances. In the event of leakage, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mouth. If necessary, rinse the affected part for several minutes in running water. Clean the product with absorbent paper or a dry cloth and contact your reseller for replacement batteries.
