General Information

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.
Under no circumstances open the device or complete any repair work yourself. In the case of claims under the
terms of guarantee, contact your sales outlet.
We reserve the right to make technical and optical modifications to the product during the course of product
improvement.
1.1

Intended use

This telephone has been developed for use in an analogue telephone network (PSTN) within Switzerland.
However, due to the different services offered by the various telecommunication network providers, there is no
guarantee that the equipment will function trouble−free on every telecommunication terminal connection. Only plug
the telephone connection cable into the appropriate telephone line socket. Never change the plug on the
connection cable.
1.2

Power failure

The telephone cannot be used to make calls in the event of a power failure. Always keep a cord connected
telephone which operates without an external power supply available in the case of emergency situations.
1.3

Installation location

The installation location is a decisive factor to ensure trouble−free operation. The equipment must be set up in the
vicinity of a 230 Volt power outlet.
Do not place the base station in the direct vicinity of other electronic equipment, such as microwave ovens or hi−fi
systems, since they could cause mutual disturbance. Therefore, maintain a distance of at least one meter from
other electronic equipment.
Place the base station on a level, non−slip surface. Normally, the footpads on the base station do not leave any
marks on the surface where it is located. However, due the diverse types of paints and surfaces which come into
question, it cannot be fully ruled out that the footpads will leave marks on the surface on which it is located.
1.4

Power supply

Only use the SWITEL power adapter plug supplied because other power supplies could destroy the telephone.
There is a risk of fatal injury if the power adapter plug is opened and not disconnected from the power supply.
1.5

Rechargeable standard batteries

Do not use other rechargeable standard batteries or power packs because they could cause a short circuit. When
replacing batteries, only use those of the type AAA 1.2 V 750 mAh.
Do not throw rechargeable standard batteries into a fire or immerse them in water. Do not
dispose of old or defective batteries in normal domestic waste. The maximum standby and talk
times specified apply to the rechargeable standard batteries supplied when used under optimum
conditions. Ambient temperature, charging cycles and other external factors, such as radio loading in the area of
use, can affect operating times considerably. In addition, the charge capacity is reduced for technical reasons
during use or when stored at extremely high or low temperatures.
1.6

Charging the handset

If the handset warms up during the charging process, this is normal and does not represent a danger. Do not
charge the handset on an external charging unit as this could damage it.
1.7

Private branch exchanges

The telephone can also be connected to a private branch exchange. The dealer where you purchased the
exchange can provide information as to whether the telephone will work properly with the exchange. Due to the
wide variety of private branch exchanges available, there is no guarantee that the telephone will function correctly
on all PBXs.
1.8

Disposing of old equipment

To dispose of your SWITEL equipment, bring it to the local collection point provided by the public waste disposal
authority (e.g. recycling center).
The adjacent symbol on the telephone signifies that this equipment must not be disposed of
in domestic waste.
According to electric and electronic apparatus laws, old electric and electronic equipment must be sorted prior to
disposal. You are contributing to environmental protection by adhering to these laws and not disposing of old
equipment in domestic waste.
1.9

Notes on medical equipment

The telephone operates with a very low transmitting power. The current level of knowledge from research and
technology indicates that such low transmitting power does not represent a risk to health. It has been shown,
however, that portable telephones, when switched on, can affect medical equipment. Therefore, never use the
telephone in the vicinity of medical equipment.
There is no evidence that DECT telephones affect heart pacemakers. However, due to the wide range of
pacemakers in use, it cannot be completely ruled out.
DECT telephones can cause an unpleasant humming sound in hearing aids.
1.10

Temperature and ambient conditions

The telephone is designed for use in protected rooms with a temperature range from 10 °C to 30 °C. The base
station should not be used in rooms exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms or laundries. Do not locate the
device in the vicinity of sources of heat such as radiators, and never expose it to direct sunlight.
Do not use the handset in potentially explosive areas.
Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, humidity, heat or direct sunlight.
