Getting started

Location

You need to place your Telstra 6100/6100a close enough to a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.

WARNING Do not place your Telstra 6100a in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Your Telstra 6100/6100a works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible can help to provide the best signal

Handset range The handset reception range from the base is up to 300m outdoors and up to 50m indoors. Thick walls can severely affect the range.

Range Indicator The 10 symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Then plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch the power on. The light on the base lights up.

Power adaptor cable

IMPORTANT Do not connect the telephone line until the handset(s) is fully charged. The base must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Which socket? Power socket Telephone line socket

Getting started

1. Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.

Diagram of a mechanical device with internal components and directional arrows (no text or symbols)

1. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing it on the base. The charging indicator light on the base comes on. The screen will show the standby display and a scrolling battery icon to show that the handset is charging.

2. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your Telstra6100/6100a base unit and the other end into the wall socket.

Line Cord

Your Telstra 6100/6100a is now ready for use.

Battery performance When batteries are fully charged the display shows the battery is full. To keep your batteries in the best conditions, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge). Please note however, that new NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible. The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries can be obtained from TecHelp on 1300 369 193 or your local electrical retailer.

Battery low warning When the battery charge is low the handset battery icon ▪vlt|show empty. Place the handset back on the base to recharge.

Replacing batteries Use only rechargeable 750mAh or higher AAA NiMH batteries.

Talk/Standby time Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give up to 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby on a single charge.

Location

Technical information

How many telephones can I have?

All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any one telephone line. Your Telstra 6100/6100a has a REN of 0.1. A total REN of 3 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 3. Any additional handsets and chargers that you register have a REN of 0.

Connecting to a switchboard

This product is intended for use within Australia for connection to the public telephone network and compatible switchboards.

Inserting a pause

With some switchboards, after dialling the access code you may have to wait for a moment while the switchboard picks up an outside line so you will need to enter a pause in the dialling sequence.

Press to insert a pause (P) before entering the telephone number.

You may also need to enter a pause when storing international numbers or charge card numbers.
