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. 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.
Power failure - If the power should fail, it will not be possible to make calls using the
telephone. Keep a cord-connected phone handy, which works without an external power
supply, for possible emergencies.
Position - There must be a 230 Volt mains socket near to where the telephone is
positioned. Do not set up the base station 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 base station on a flat and non-slip surface. The feet of the base station 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 handset 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.
Power supply - Use only the AUDIOLINE plug-in power supply provided, as other power
supplies could damage the telephone. There is a risk to life if the power supply is opened
and not disconnected from the mains.
Standard rechargeable batteries - do not use any other rechargeable batteries or battery
packs. These could possibly cause a short circuit. When changing batteries, always use
standard batteries, Type AAA 1.2V 550mA. Do not throw standard batteries into the fire or
immerse in water. Do not dispose of old or defective standard batteries with the normal
household waste.
The maximum standby and talk times quoted are applicable for the standard rechargeable
batteries supplied under optimum conditions. Ambient temperature, charging cycle and
other external factors, such as the radio loading in the area of use, can considerably
reduce the operating times. Furthermore, the charging capacity is reduced for technical
reasons during use or when stored at very high or low temperatures.
