General Instructions

These additional operating instructions describe the use of further handsets with the AUDIOLINE DECT5500+, DECT5600SMS, DECT5800 or at DECT-GAP telephones of other manufacturers.

For the description of all other functions such as normal operation, technical data or safety information for example, please refer to the main operating instructions for the AUDIOLINE DECT5500 or the appropriate operating instruction.

Note: If you should attach this telephone handset on a DECT-GAP telephone of another manufacturer, please note, that not all handset functions are possible.

Up to four further handsets can be logged on to the AUDIOLINE DECT5500+, DETC5600SMS or DECT5800 base station. When using multiple handsets you have access to the following facilities:

• Internal calls between the handsets.
• External calls can be transferred between the handsets.
• Incoming external calls are signalled on all handsets.

Please read these operating instructions carefully. If you have any questions, get in touch with our Service Dept. by calling our Service Hotline at 0180 5 00 13 88.

Under no circumstances should you open the device or attempt to repair the device yourself. Please contact your dealer in case of any warranty claims.

Power failures

Telephone calls cannot be made during power failures. Keep a cord telephone that is not equipped with an external power supply available in case of emergency.

Rechargeable batteries

Use only rechargeable batteries as supplied. The use of other rechargeable batteries or accupacks may cause a short-circuit. When changing the batteries, use only rechargeable batteries, type AAA 1.2 Volt, 550mAh.

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

Charging the handset

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.

Transformer plug

Use only the AUDIOLINE transformer plug supplied, other transformer plugs can destroy your telephone. Opening the power supply plug while it is plugged into the supply mains could lead to personal injury and death.

- General Instructions -

Private branch exchanges

The telephone can also be connected to a private branch exchange. The dealer where you purchased the private branch exchange will tell you if your telephone will work properly on your PBX. Due to the great variety of private branch exchanges, we cannot guarantee that the phone will work properly on all PBXs.

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.

Note for medical products

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 °C to 30 °C .

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.

CE marking

The telephone is compliant with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive. This is certified by the CE marking.

2. Setting up

2.1 Safety notices

NOTICE! Before switching on, do not fail to read the safety notices on of the beginning of these instructions.

2.2 Checking the contents of the package

The package should contain:

one charger one supply cable
one handset with batteries one belt clip
one set of directions for use

2.3 Connecting the charger

Set up the AUDIOLINE DECT5501+ within reach of a electricity supply socket.

1. Insert the connector on the lead from the transformer plug in the socket on the underside of the charger and insert the transformer plug in a 230V supply socket installed in accordance with regulations. For safety reasons, use only the transformer plug supplied.

2. Press the cable into the cable channel leading to the rear of the charger.

2.4 Exchange the batteries

The rechargeable batteries (AAA, 1.2V, 550mAh) have a stand-by time of max. 350 hours and a maximum talk time of up to 14 hours. To fit or change the batteries, open the battery compartment cover and insert the new batteries. Take care to ensure that the polarity is correct and close the battery compartment cover. Always use rechargeable batteries, type AAA 2 x 1.2V, only.

To increase performance, you can also use rechargeable batteries of the same type with up to 1300 mAh capacity. In this way, the stand-by time is increased to ca. 700 hours and the talk time to ca. 28 hours.

Important notice: Place the handset on the base station, with the display facing forwards, for at least 16 hours. If the batteries are not properly charged, the telephone may fail to function correctly. While the handset is charging, the battery capacity symbol in the display will blink. The indicator lights as soon as the handset is placed in position.

- Setting Up -

2.5 Charging the batteries

The rechargeable batteries in your AUDIOLINE DECT5501+ handset provide for a maximum standby time of 350 hours and a call time of up to 14 hours.

The actual state of charge of the batteries is shown in the display:

Full

Half

Low

If the remaining charge in the batteries is too low, the symbol in the display will blink and you will hear a warning peep every 10 seconds.

To charge the batteries, place the handset on the charger with the display facing forwards.

Notice: Before using the telephone for the first time, the batteries must be charged for at least 16 hours. Like your car battery, the rechargeable batteries suffer from a certain, unavoidable ageing effect. You can, however, minimise this by exercising the batteries correctly. As you use your telephone, always start with fully charged batteries and continue using it until they are "empty" as indicated by the blinking symbol in the display. Then recharge them fully. This will maintain maximum battery capacity for as long as possible. Repeated partial charging and discharging will "teach" the batteries to operate with reduced capacity.
