Important Safety Instructions

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock and injury. Basic safety precautions will include the following:

1. Make sure you read and understand all the instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for

cleaning.

4. Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bath tub, kitchen sink, swimming pool) or in humid areas.

5. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

6. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorised service facility under the following conditions:

 When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

 If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

 If the product has been dropped and the outer casing has been damaged.

 If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

7. Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

8. Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery. The operation periods for the handsets are only applicable with

the default battery capacity

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an authorised service facility. Opening or

removing parts of the telephone base or handset other than specified access points may expose you to dangerous voltages

or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.

10. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorised service facility under the following conditions

 When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

 If liquid has been spilled onto the product.

 If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

 If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires

extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal operation.

 If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and / or handset has been damaged.

 If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

11. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

12. The power adaptors are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed

to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table / cabinet outlet

Getting started

Location

Place your DDA200BT within 2 meters of the main power socket and telephone socket. Make sure it is at least 1 meter away

from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your DDA200BT works by sending radio signals between the handset and

base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal. The

maximum range between the base station and the handset is approximately 300 meters

Installation

1. Plug the main power cable into the base station, plug the other end of the main power cable into main power wall socket

and switch the power on.

Note: Ensure power cord is fed through slot on base so unit sits flush with the desk.

2. To fit the NiMH battery into the handset, slide out the battery compartment cover. Place the supplied rechargeable battery

in the battery compartment, with the battery connector plugged in, as shown. Slide the battery compartment cover back.

3. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours. When the handset is fully charged the Fully charged battery

icon will be displayed. The Charging LED lights up indicating that the handset is properly placed on the base.

4. When the battery is fully charged, plug one end of the telephone line cord into the base station and the other end into the

telephone wall socket.

Note: Ensure the line cord is fed through the slot on the base so unit sits flush with the desk.

WARNING

Do not place your DDA200BT in the bathroom or other humid areas.

IMPORTANT

The base station must be plugged into the mains power socket at all times. Do not connect the telephone line until the handset

is fully charged. Only use the power supply, telephone cables and NiMH battery supplied with the product.

Battery low warning

If the <BATTERY icon> flashes in the handset display you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again. During

charging, the <BATTERY icon> will appear to be filling in the display.

Battery performance

In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery should give up to 12 hours talk time, or 160 hours standby time, on a single charge.

Note that the new battery will not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

To keep the battery in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.

Running the battery right down at least once a week will help it last as long as possible. The charge capacity of the rechargeable

battery will reduce with time as they wears out, giving the handset less talk / standby time.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. The battery and handset may

become warm during charging, however, this is normal.

Setting up for multiple packs

For each additional handset and charger

1. Plug the main power cable into the charger base, plug the other end into the main power wall socket and switch the

power on.

2. To fit the NiMH battery into the handset, slide out the battery compartment cover. Place the supplied rechargeable

battery in the battery compartment, with the battery connector plugged in, as shown above. Slide the battery

compartment cover back

3. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours. When the handset is fully charged the <Fully charged

battery icon> will be displayed.

Bluetooth

Introducing Bluetooth

Your new DDA200BT telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

 Pair up to four Bluetooth enabled devices (mobile phones or headsets) with the DDA200BT.

 Connect a maximum of two mobile phones to make and receive mobile line calls. Only one mobile phone can be active on a

call at a time.

 Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving home line calls.

 Conference mobile and home line calls.

 Make and receive calls using either your home line or mobile network from any DDA200BT handset

 Copy your mobile phone contacts to the DDA200BT

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20 seconds before connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen shows

Bluetooth system busy if you try to connect too soon.

 Ensure the Bluetooth function is enabled on your mobile phone – please refer to your mobile phone instructions for this –

these may be located in your mobile phone user manual or on a CD provided with your mobile phone.

 You may need to make your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone visible to other Bluetooth devices (place in discoverable mode)

before commencing the pairing process to your DDA200BT – please refer to your mobile phone instructions for this – these

may be located in your mobile phone user manual or on a CD provided with your mobile phone.

 Ensure your mobile phone is placed next to the DDA200BT base unit during the pairing process and once paired and active.

 Not all Bluetooth enabled mobile phones will require the pin from the DDA200BT (step 7 of the pairing process on page 15) –

please refer to your mobile phone instructions for this – these may be located in your mobile phone user manual or on a CD

provided with your mobile phone.

 Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (up to 30 feet) from the DDA200BT. Keep connected mobile

phones and headset within this range.

 If your mobile phone has poor reception in your home, DDA200BT cannot improve the reception. However, if there is a

location in your house with better reception, you can leave your mobile phone at that location while you use DDA200BT

mobile line. In order for this to work, the telephone base must be within 30 feet of the mobile phone.

 Charge your mobile phone while it is connected to the DDA200BT. Your mobile phone's battery discharges faster while it is

connected to the DDA200BT via Bluetooth wireless technology.

 Monitor your mobile phone's usage as mobile line calls using the DDA200BT are charged to your mobile account.

 Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (page 15) to learn how to set up your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Using the phone

section on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new DDA200BT telephone system with Bluetooth wireless
