Safety information

 Only use the power supply unit supplied.

 Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries of the same type! Use no

other types of batteries or non-rechargeable batteries, as they could

damage health and cause personal injury.

 Ensure correct polarity when fitting rechargeable batteries, and use the

battery type according to these instructions.

 The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the

technical conditions within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's

practice).

 The handset may cause an intrusive 'hum' in hearing aids.

 Do not install the base in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and

base are not watertight.

 Drivers must not use their phones while driving (Walk and Talk function).

 Switch off your phone while on board an aircraft (Walk and Talk function)

and ensure that it cannot be switched on again accidentally.

 Do not use the phone in environments subject to explosion hazard (e.g.

auto paint shops).

 Ensure that your easyDECT XL 2 is accompanied by these instructions

when you give it to others to use.

 Dispose of the batteries and phone in accordance with environmental

regulations.

 Carry the handset by means of the carrying strap only in front at the body

over the clothes. Thus it is always freely accessible.

 Carry the handset by means of the carrying strap only with full conscious-

ness and pay attention you to the fact that the strap does not get

caught. The risk of injury cannot be completely excluded.

 Emergency call function: In rare cases, the function of sending out an

emergency call cannot be guaranteed. This might be the case if e.g. the

telephone network fails or if the radio transmission from the handset to the

base station is subject to interference.

If the device is used for people who are in a critical or life-threatening health

condition, you should not refrain from additional safety means.

Installing the telephone

Installing the base station

 Install the base in a dry and dust-free location away from direct sunlight and

make sure that both power and telephone outlets are available nearby. Choose

a location where relative humidity and temperature are inside normal value for

any electric appliances. Install the base in an open location away from other

electronic devices which can create strong interferences (e.g. computer, air

conditioning systems, TV etc.)

 To avoid risks for people, or damages to the power and telephone cables of the

base, do not put anything on them and dont place the base where the cables

be walked on.

 Place the base on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something unsteady, it

may fall and be damaged. Should you place the base on valuable furniture,

place a proper protection under the base.

 The base is designed for indoor use only.

Setting up

You should only use the AC adapter supplied. You should only

use the connection cable supplied.

Batteries in the base station

4 batteries can be loaded into the base station (not supplied). They are used for

power failure protection. This protection is recommended if you are using the

emergency call function. Please use 4 standard batteries (NiMH = Nickel metal

hydride, 1200 mAh and higher).

Only insert recommended, rechargeable batteries of the same type!

Never use ordinary batteries, as this can lead to damage to health or

personal injury. Do not use any other types of chargers. This could

damage the batteries.

Please dispose of used batteries properly (do not thrown them in the domestic

rubbish). The cover of the battery compartment is screwed down for safety reasons.

This means that the compartment cannot accidentally come open and that the

batteries are securely fitted.

Power failure

If the 4 batteries are fitted in the base station and the AC dadapter is disconnected,

the batteries will bridge this power failure. Make sure that the power supply plug

remains always put.

Inserting / replacing batteries in the base station

For safety reasons, disconnect the telephone from the telephone network and the

mains, by removing the telephone plug and the AC adapter were previously

connected. Unscrew the screw on the battery compartment cover using a narrow

Phillips screwdriver. Insert or replace the batteries (NiMH). Ensure that the polarity

is correct. Replace and screw down the battery compartment cover.

Connect telephone to C/O line

The telephone connecting cable has two different plugs. The smaller of them should

be plugged into the socket marked with a telephone symbol on the base of the

telephone. Place the cable in the appropriate cable duct. Plug the TAE plug into

your telephone connections TAE socket (code F).

process and is not dangerous.

 The charge level for the batteries displayed is only correct after an

uninterrupted charging / discharging process. You should not,

therefore, open the battery compartment unnecessarily.

Basic functions

17

Standby mode (waiting for incoming calls)

Standby is the initial screen that appears every time

you turn on the handset. When your phone is in

standby mode, you are ready to receive phone calls

and you will see the handset and base number or

the handset name (if you have one saved) and the

current date and time.

When your phone is in standby mode, you can use

the phone to make or receive calls, or to use menu

to engage the line. You

hear a dial tone and Call to appears on the top of the display with

the icon

This procedure is more convenient and reliable, because you can check the number

you have entered and make corrections before dialing:

Basic functions

insert dialing pauses. See par. Storing a phone number in standby

mode and Entering a dialing pause respectively.

Receiving a call

When a call is received, the phone rings and the icon blinks on the display of

the handset. If the incoming call can be identified you will also see the callers

number in the display. If the callers number was proviously entered in the
