Topcom COCOON 50 Cordless Telephone User Manual


 
5. GENERAL
With cordless telephones, radio connection replaces the cord connecting the
handset to the base unit of traditional telephones. This allows you to make and
receive calls even when you are away from the base unit. Thanks to this radio
connection, your mobility increases.
The Cocoon has a working range of 300 m (range is reduced to 50 m inside
buildings). This working range is however strongly reduced if there are several
obstacles between the base and the handset. If you have gone too far away
from the base, you will hear a warning signal. Go back in the range within 10
seconds, otherwise the connection will be broken. When the radio connection
between the handset and the base station is not possible, you will hear an
intermittent tone. Move closer to the base station so that the radio connection
can be established.
6. INSTALLATION
1. Connect the telephone cord to the “TEL IN” socket on the bottom of the base
and plug the other end into the line wall socket.
2. Connect the power cable plug to the “DC 9V” socket on the bottom of the
base and plug the adaptor into a power socket.
7. BATTER Y
Open the cover of the battery compartment on the back of the handset. Place
the 3 pieces of rechargeable NiCd batteries (1,2V / 600mAh) in the battery
compartment as indicated and close the compartment again afterwards.
For the first use, the batteries need to be fully charged before the telephone can
be used.
Put the handset on the connected base station to charge the battery. The battery
indicator on the base unit lights to indicate that the battery is being charged.
After approximately 14 hours the battery is fully charged.
Do not put the handset back on the base station, every time the phone has been
used. Put the handset only on the base when it is indicated that the battery is
almost empty. It is better for the battery to be sufficiently discharged before
being charged again. You will hear an intermittent warning tone and the low
battery indicator on the display of the handset will blink.
A fully charged battery allows a talk time of 5 hours. In standby mode the
battery has to be recharged after approximately 50 hours .
Remarks:
The charger contacts of the handset should not come into contact with metal
since this could cause a short-circuit and damage the batteries irreparably.
The charger contacts on the base station and on the handset should be
cleaned with a soft cloth once a month.
If you do not use your unit for a longer period of time, do not put the
handset in charging position on the base station. It is better for your
batteries not to do so. The best way is to remove your batteries during that
time.
Do not throw faulty batteries just anywhere, they are small chemical waste
and have to be treated as such.
8. OPERATION
8.1. OUT OF RANGE WARNING
Obstacles between the handset and the base station will influence the operation
range. When the handset is too far away from the base station, the quality of
the connection will deteriorate and you will hear a warning tone. The
communication will be broken automatically if you do not go back into the
operation range within 10 seconds.
If a connection between the handset and the base station is not possible, you
will hear an intermittent warning tone.
