Protecting your telephone

Fraudulent use of your telephone line by another cordless phone is unlikely as the base station assigns the handset one of a possible 65,535 identification codes.

This code means that only your handset is authorised to use your line for making calls.

•any unconfirmed number in course of memorisation.

•a unique ringing tone, if a call is incoming.

•1 short beep, when you press a key.

•1 long beep, when the radio link between the base station and the handset has been lost.

•1 beep, when replacing the handset on the base station.

•3 beeps, to confirm any programming changes you have made to your telephone.

Recommendations and precautions

INSTALLATION

•Take care not to install the base close to electrical appliances (heater, TV, domestic appliance, etc.) or metal supports (doors/windows, partitions, etc.), which could impair the quality of communication and restrict the range of your phone.

•Do not install the base in a humid room or close to a strong source of heat.

SAFETY

•Do not get the handset wet.

•Do not open the telephone, as this could expose you to high voltages. Contact the customer support service for any repairs.

•Avoid all contact between the battery and any conducting materials (keys, paper clips, rings, bracelets, etc.).

•Avoid all contact between the charge terminals (base or handset) and any conducting materials (keys, paper clips, rings, bracelets, etc).

RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN):

Your Icana 5250 has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of 1.0 To determine the maximum number of telephone that can be connected to your line, add together the individual RENs of all the apparatus you wish to connect. If this total exceeds 4, one or all of your telephones may not ring correctly.

But will save:

MAINTENANCE

•Before cleaning your telephone, disconnect the power supply cable and the telephone cable. Use a cloth or chamois leather moistened with a light soapy water solution, then wipe off with a dry cloth. This will ensure that your telephone stays looking as good as new.

•Never spray the phone with cleaning products or solvents.

•We recommend periodical cleaning the charge terminals on the base and the handset with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Changing the dial mode

Your telephone has two possible dial modes: "tone" or "pulse". The factory setting for your telephone is "tone". If you are not connected to an electronic central exchange, you need to use "pulse".

To set the dial mode from "tone" to "pulse":

1Pick up the handset and press ®. The indicator light on handset starts flashing.

2Press the key.

3Press the key.

Your handset emits 3 beeps to confirm. The telephone is now ready to dial in "pulse" mode.

To set the dial mode from "pulse" to "tone":

1Pick up the handset and press ®. The indicator light on handset starts flashing.

2Press the key.

3Press the key.

Your handset emits 3 beeps to confirm. The telephone is now ready to dial in "tone" mode.

•When your telephone line is connected to an electronic exchange, the "tone" mode provides faster dialling and access to special telephone network services.

Loop Disconnect Signalling:

Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling (Tone dialling), only the performance of the DTMF signalling (Tone dialling) is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation.

It is therefore strongly recommended that this equipment is set to use DTMF signalling (Tone dialling) for access to public or private emergency services. DTMF signalling (Tone dialling) also provides faster call set up.
