1 General information

The miniDECT5000 has been designed as an extension for cordless DECT-GAP telephone systems. The normalised GAP standard also enables the handset to be connected to base stations from other manufacturers.

Rechargeable batteries

Do not use any other rechargeable batteries. These could possibly cause a short circuit.

When changing the battery, always use a genuine AUDIOLINE Ni-MH 2.4V, 280mAh battery pack. You can obtain a replacement battery from the AUDIOLINE Spare Parts Sales on Tel. 040 / 3258440.

Do not throw batteries in the fire or immerse them in water. Do not dispose of old or defective batteries with normal domestic waste.

If the handset becomes warm when charging, this is quite normal and no cause for alarm.

Only charge the handset on the base station. The use of other chargers may cause lasting damage.

Use only the AUDIOLINE transformer plug supplied, other transformer plugs can destroy your telephone.

Location of the base station

The base station must be located within reach of a 230Volt supply socket. To avoid interference problems, do not place the base station in the immediate proximity of other electronic equipment such as a microwave oven or hi-fi system. The location of the base station can significantly influence the proper function of the telephone.

Place the base station on a level, non-slip surface. The feet of the base station will not normally mark the surface on which it stands. However, the wide range of surface finishes in use renders it impossible to exclude marking of any surface.

Do not use the handset in areas where there is a danger of explosion.

Avoid excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, humidity, high temperature or direct sunlight.

- General Information -

Medical notice

The telephone works with very low transmitted power. Present knowledge and research indicate that, at this low power level, there is no possible danger to health. It has, however, been shown that portable telephones, when switched on, can affect medical equipment. Maintain a distance of at least one metre from medical equipment.

Disposal

If the batteries or the complete system have reached the end of their useful life, please dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner and as required by law.

Temperature and ambient conditions

The telephone is designed for indoor use and an operating temperature range of -10 ^ to 50 ^ .

The base station must not be installed in humid areas such as bath or wash rooms. Avoid proximity to sources of heat such as radiators and do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.

Cleaning and care

The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents or aggressive solvents. Apart from occasionally cleaning the outer surfaces, no further care is required. The rubber feet of the base station are not resistant to all cleaning agents. The manufacturer cannot, therefore, be held responsible for damage to furniture etc.

3 Commissioning

3.1 Safety information

NOTE! Before commissioning, it is essential that you read the safety information at the beginning of this manual.

3.2 Check contents of pack

The following items are supplied:

one handset with rechargeable battery pack one	power cable
one portable handsfree unit (headset) belt clip
three coloured cover flaps one Operating Manual

3.3 Coloured covers

Three coloured covers are also included with the unit. You can thus change the appearance of your miniDECT5000 at will.

If you are using several miniDECT5000 handsets on your base station, you can use the different colours to more easily tell the handsets apart.

The cover can easily be removed from the handset by pulling it slightly out of the guide on one side.

3.4 Attaching the belt clip

With the belt clip supplied, you can keep the handset with you at all times. To fit the belt clip, insert it into the handset in a horizontal position and then turn it to a vertical position.

Note: The handset cannot be placed on the charging station when the belt clip is attached.

3.5 Connecting the portable handsfree unit (headset)

Connect the portable handsfree unit to the handset.

- Commissioning -

3.6 Assembling the charging pod

Note: If you do not want to use the charging pod, you can also connect the small plug of the power supply directly to the handset.

To open the pod, press on the sides of the upper section and pull the two halves apart.

Now place the small plug in the retainer provided for the purpose in the lower section of the pod and feed the cable through the small opening.

Close the pod by replacing the upper section. Press the two halves firmly together until they audibly engage.

Now connect the plug-in power supply to a mains socket.

3.7 Charging the battery

Your telephone's rechargeable battery has a standby time of a maximum of 150 hours at room temperature and a maximum talk time of up to 12 hours.

If the battery capacity is too low, you will hear a warning tone every 10 seconds and at the same time the battery condition indicator in the display will flash.

To charge the battery, connect the handset to the charging station.

- Commissioning -

Note: The handset must be charged for at least 16 hours before being used for the first time. Exactly like your car battery, the rechargeable batteries are unavoidably subject to a certain ageing. However, you can have an influence on this ageing process by “training” the batteries to a certain extent. In regular use of the phone, if you cyclically charge and fully discharge the batteries by using the telephone until the charging indicator flashes, a demand is placed on the batteries and they will repay you by giving maximum performance and a long life. Extended charging and extended discharging on the other hand will both degrade the capacity and shorten the life of the batteries.

3.8 Logging on the handset to a GAP-enabled base station

Before you can use your new handset on your existing telephone system, the handset must first be logged on to the base station.

1. Look in the operating instruction manual for your existing telephone to see how you set up the base station for logging on new handsets. When you have carried out the necessary steps, continue from point 2.
2. Press the button on the handset.
3. Press the * and # buttons on the handset, one after the other.
4. Now enter the base station number using the number pad. If you are using one base station, enter the number 1.
5. Now enter the PIN code for the base station.
6. Now press the button and after a few seconds you will hear a signal tone. The handset is now logged on and can be used for external and internal calls.
7. The handset will now automatically be assigned an internal call number. The main handset already logged on has the internal number 1. All further handsets are numbered in the order that they are logged on (internal call numbers 2 to 5). You can check these internal call numbers at any time. For more information, see Item 6.5.

- Special functions -

6.6 Working with more than one base station

A number of base stations can be used to extend the coverage available to the handsets. To make use of this effect, all the base stations must have a telephone connection. Depending on your objectives, you can provide each base station with its own telephone line or connect them all to the same line. A new number will be allocated to the handset each time that it moves within range of another base station.

You should ensure that the coverages of the base stations overlap. Before adding a new base station to your system, check the range of the handsets.

If a handset is registered with the base station and automatic base station selection is switched on (further information in this chapter), the handset will be automatically handed on to the next base station. Calls in progress cannot be passed from one base station to another.

Logging the handset on to an additional base station

1. Look in the operating instruction manual for your existing telephone to see how you set up the base station for logging on new handsets. When you have carried out the necessary steps, continue from point 2.
