1. General information

Please read these operating instructions carefully. If you should have any questions, please contact our Service Department on the Hotline number 0180 5 00 13 88 (costs Telekom by printing: 12ct/min). Under no circumstances open the unit yourself and do not try to carry out your own repairs. For any claims under the warranty, please refer to your dealer.

Intended use - This telephone has been designed for use on an analogue telephone line (PSTN) within Germany. However, no guarantee can be accepted for trouble-free operation on all telecommunications terminal equipment connections due to the differences between the different telecommunications network operators. The telephone requires a TAE socket with F/N coding in common with other plug-in units such as fax machines, answering machines or modems. Connect the telephone cable to the phone socket intended for the purpose only. Do not change the plug on the connecting cable.

Private exchanges - The telephone can also be connected to a private exchange. You can find out from the dealer from whom the equipment was purchased whether your telephone will work on your private exchange without any problems. Due to the large number of different private exchanges, it is not possible to guarantee this function.

Temperature and Ambient Conditions - The telephone is designed for use in protected rooms with a temperature range of 10 °C to 30 °C. The base station must not be installed in damp rooms such as a bathroom or laundry room. Avoid proximity to sources of heat such as radiators and do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.

Position - Do not set up the telephone in the immediate vicinity of other electrical equipment such as microwaves or hi-fi systems, as this may result in mutual interference. The location has a decisive influence on the trouble-free operation of the telephone.

Place the telephone on a flat and non-slip surface. The feet of the telephone do not normally leave any marks on the surface. However, due to the large number of varnishes and surfaces in use, it may not be possible to prevent marks occurring on the surface due to the feet of the unit.

Do not use the telephone in areas where there is a risk of explosion.

Excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture, heat or the direct rays of the sun must be avoided.

Cleaning and care - The surface of the case can be cleaned with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive solvents. No attention is necessary apart from cleaning the case occasionally. The rubber feet of the base station are not resistant to all cleaning agents. The manufacturer can therefore not accept any liability for possible damage to furniture or the like.
