Follow this procedure when setting up your

BeoCom 2:

1 Connect the charger as described in the

charger’s Guide

2 Charge the handset battery

3 Connect the BeoLine base as described in the

base’s Guide

4 Register the handset to the base.

Do not extend or alter the base or charger’s

power cord in any way, as this causes the product

to malfunction!

4 Charge the handset battery

If the handset requires charging, this occurs automatically when the handset is placed in the charger.

When setting up BeoCom 2 for use, charge the handset for at least one hour before proceeding further!

When you charge the handset: – The charger must be connected to the power

outlet.

– It takes five hours to fully charge the battery.

– The maximum talk-time per charge is

approximately 10 hours.

– Standby time per charge is approximately

150 hours.

– You must condition the battery to obtain a

full charge. This means charging the battery

repeatedly. A full charge is first possible when

you have charged the battery at least twice.

The handset controls battery charging, so you can

always place the handset in the charger after use,

even if the battery does not need recharging.

Leaving the handset in the charger does not

reduce the lifetime of the battery.

The handset display informs you when the

batteries require charging. If you have an active

call, a beep signal sounds from the handset as

well. For further information, refer to the chapter

‘The handset display’ on page 10.

5Registration of a handset to the base

The handset must be registered to the base. Up to 8 handsets can be registered to one base.

in the BeoLine Guide. The indicator light flashes

red, and the base is open for five minutes.

indicator light is not flashing red, disconnect

the base, wait two seconds, and reconnect it.

> Press to switch on the handset. The display

prompts you to register the handset.

> Press OK. The handset searches for an open base.

> When a base is located, the PARK number –

which identifies the base – is shown. Check the

number in the display against the number

under the cover on the bottom of the base.

> If the numbers do not match, push the Track point down to view the available bases.

> When the desired base is shown, press OK to

register the handset. The display prompts you

to wait until registration is complete.

> If the base prompts you for a pincode, enter the

pincode and press OK.

> When registration is complete, Enter handset

NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equip-ment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equip ment must also be installed using an accept-able method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the tele communications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power util-ity, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This pre-caution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the ap-propriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indica-tion of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termina-tion on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

20 >> For your information…

For the American market only…

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules for the United States.

A label is located on the underside of the base unit containing either the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). You must upon request, provide the following information to your local telephone company: USOC Jack Type: RJ11 REN: 0.1B

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as deter-mined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.

Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equip ment causes harm to the tele-phone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint to the FCC.

Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its faci lities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportu nity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device complies with FCC SAR limit of 1.6mW/g. The maximum SAR value measured was 0.26mW/g. This device must not be co-located or operating in con-junction with any other antenna or transmitter.

21

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harm-ful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.– Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is con-nected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause un-desired operation.
