Your Telephone's Features

Using Your Telephone

General Information

The Forum Free 565/575 is a cordless telephone designed for operation in

the Forum 500 / Forum 5000 communications system. In addition to

convenient softkey control of system features, this telephone also offers a

variety of features that allow you to make calls more easily. You can also

operate your handset in other communications systems, which means you can

use the same handset in different places. Furthermore, it is possible to operate

the handset in communications systems made by other manufacturers, as

long as they meet the GAP standard.

Power Supply

This product requires a 230 V alternating current power supply. This product

can only be switched off by removing the adapter plug from the mains socket.

The mains supply voltage in some countries is 110 V. The corresponding

adapter plug can be obtained as accessory. Please consult with customer

service of your supplier for this.

Usage

This handset, like any cordless telephone, operates using radio signals, which

do not always guarantee a connection being established under all circum-

stances. For this reason, you should never rely solely upon any cordless tele-

phone for essential communication (e. g. medical emergencies).

DECT and GAP

Your handset uses a digital radio connection in accordance with the DECT

(Digital Enhanced Cordless telephone) standard for the connection to the base

station. The digital channel guarantees superior voice quality without static or

background noise. For signalling between the communications system and

the handset, the Forum Free 565/575 uses the Generic Access Profile (GAP).

Installation Your Telephone's Features

9

The Generic Access Profile (GAP) and the DECT standard define processes

used by digital cordless telephones to establish connections. The GAP

standard is not manufacturer-specific so it is possible to combine the commu-

nication systems and handsets of different vendors. The basic functions

(making and receiving calls) are always possible with these combinations, but

other functions provided by your Forum 500 / Forum 5000 communications

system together with your handset (e. g. display of call numbers or call

charges) may not be available when communications systems produced by

other manufacturers are used.

Additional Notes

Depending on the digital transmission in the frequency range used and also

on the technical environment within the range of coverage, silent zones may

occur. In this case, transmission quality can be diminished by multiple, short

transmission gaps. Slight movement out of the silent zone will restore typical

transmission quality. The connection will be lost if the handset is moved out of

range.

In order to avoid radio coupling into other electronic equipment, we

recommend the maximum possible distance (min. 1m) between the charging

station / handset and other devices (e. g. radios, loudspeakers etc.)

Before using the handset, people with hearing aids should note that radio

signals can couple into hearing aids and if strong enough can cause an

unpleasant buzzing sound.

Installation

Installation Site

Place the charging station on a flat, even surface. Do not place the charging

station or accessories near:

● water, moisture or damp areas

● heat sources, direct sunlight or inadequately ventilated areas

● devices that produce strong magnetic fields, electrical devices, fluorescent

lamps, computers, radios, television sets, fax machines and telephone

terminals

Your Telephone's Features Installation

10

● areas where the equipment may be covered, penetrated by fluids and

where its ventilation is impaired

● areas where there is excessive dust, and areas subject to vibration, shock or

extreme temperature fluctuations

Place and/or store the handset and accessories out of the reach of small

children.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

Use type AAA batteries only. Replacements can be obtained through your

supplier.

To insert/remove the battery pack, proceed as follows:

Opening the battery compartment

To unlock the battery compartment cover, use a pointed object (e. g. a ball-

point pen) and push it into the hole at the bottom of the handset (1) while

lifting the cover away as illustrated (2).

Closing the battery compartment

After you have inserted the batteries (see next paragraph) hold the cover

against the battery compartment at a slight angle (1) and push it down until it

snaps shut (2).

Battery polarity

Observe the correct polarity when replacing the batteries. The +/- symbols in

the battery compartment must correspond to the +/- symbols of the

batteries. The batteries can be inserted without exerting force. Attempting to

insert the batteries with incorrect polarity can cause the handset to be

damaged.

Important Information About the Battery Your Telephone's Features

11

Installing the Charging Station

To operate the charging station you need a 230 V AC mains connection.

Connect the cable of the adapter plug to the socket on the underside of the

charging station, and then insert the adapter plug into the mains socket.

Installing the charging station

Important Information About the

Battery

Use the battery only as directed. Never use a damaged or flat battery.

Heat and cold reduce the performance and the lifetime of the battery. A

handset with either a hot or a cold battery may not function temporarily, even

when the battery is fully charged.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Please make

use of any recycling facilities available.

Never throw a battery into a fire.

Your Telephone's Features Charging the Battery

12

Charging and Discharging

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will

eventually be used up. When the operating time (i. e. talk and stand-by time)

has become noticeably shorter than normal, the battery should be replaced.

In order to achieve long operating times, you should discharge the battery at

intervals by not placing the handset in the charging station and leaving it

switched on until it switches itself off. Only use this method to discharge the

battery.

Extreme fluctuations in temperature have an effect on the charging capacity

of the battery.

Charging the Battery

Commissioning

Charge the batteries for approx. five to six hours before using your handset for

the first time. This safety measure extends the lifetime of your batteries. The

maximum performance of the batteries is only reached after three to five

charging/discharging cycles.

Place the handset in the charging station regularly in order to reach the

optimum battery charge.

Be careful to observe the correct polarity when replacing the batteries. It is

absolutely essential that you only use rechargeable batteries authorised by

the manufacturer. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for

malfunction or damage when other types of rechargeable battery or normal

batteries are used.

When the handset is in the charging station, the flashing or lit sections

indicate charging and the charge level.

Charge warning

When the battery capacity is nearly exhausted, the battery symbol will flash

in the display.

If you are making a call at the time, you still have up to three minutes of talk

time before the handset switches itself off. If you are not making a call and the

handset is not in the charging station, “Battery empty” appears in the display.

You can no longer make a telephone call now.

Commissioning

Handset Subscription (Checking In)

Your handset can be operated in up to ten different communications systems.

To be able to do this, it must be subscribed to every system, this means: the

handset must be checked in.

Normally the check-in operation is performed when commissioning the

handset. If you are operating your handset in the Forum 500 / Forum 5000

communications system, checking in your handset will be done by your

system administrator.

For the communications systems of other manufacturers:

Enrol your handset in the communications system as described in the chapter

“Phone settings” Menu starting on page 78 (section “System”).

Note for the System Administrator

If you are operating a DECT network on an Forum 5050 communications

system, please read the more detailed information as well in the “Commis-

sioning and Maintenance” guide and in the online help on the topics DECT

networks and DECT areas. This is where you will find details on configuring

DECT base stations and on checking in DECT terminals in DECT areas.

Background Information

Checking in

The Forum 500 / Forum 5000 check-in operation for handsets is initiated via

the Web console, either by the system administrator or by a user with admin-

istrator rights. You will need the following information if you wish to subse-

quently subscribe a handset yourself.

There are two check-in procedures. Depending on which procedure is used,

there are different time limits for the completion of the procedure and you

may also have to enter an authentication code.

● Simplified procedure: The handset must be subscribed to the communica-

tions system within three minutes. This convenient procedure enables you

to subscribe any DECT telephone within this short period of time (“the next

handset is being subscribed”). All menu items in the “Subscription” menu

must be confirmed with

OK

.

● Secured procedure: The handset must be subscribed within one hour. You

will need to know the IPEI of your handset and you may also have to enter

an authentication code (AC) for this procedure. The IPEI can be read out

from the handset's “System” menu (see page 79); the AC can be obtained

from your system administrator or read out from the Tele p h o n y : D evi ces:

DECT Phones menu in the Configurator of the Forum 500 / Forum 5000

(Web console).

Subscription

The handset will store a subscription record for each communications system

it has been checked into. Each subscription record includes a name; whenever

the handset enters the range of a base station, this name will be appear in the

handset’s display.

Registration

Once the handset has been subscribed to (checked into) one or more commu-

nications systems you can make and receive calls. If you have activated the

Auto Search feature (see page 80), the handset will automatically register

with the nearest base station in its range (provided the handset is in the idle

state). If you do not want to use the auto search feature, you can register the

handset with a base station using the subscription record stored in the

handset.
