Quick Start Guide A170 Wired DECT Headset
Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas;
chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain dust or metal powders.
Sensitive Electronic Equipment
The current state of research concludes that operational DECT devices normally do not adversely
affect electronic equipment. Nevertheless, you should take some precautions if you want to
operate DECT devices in the immediate vicinity of such equipment like sensitive laboratory
equipment. Always keep a minimum distance of 10 cm (3.94") to the equipment even when the
phone is in standby.
Electrical Surges
We recommend the installment of an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this device
is connected to avoid damage to the equipmen t caused by local strikes of lightening or other
electrical surges.

Important Battery Information

This product uses rechargeable Li-Ion battery packs. Only use the battery packs that came with
the handset. Do not use any other type of battery since this may lead to leakage, fire, explosion,
or other dangerous situations. Never disassemble, alter, or short-circuit batteries or use them for
purposes other than the intended one. Charge the batteries only within the headset or the base
station, respectively.
Charging and Discharging, Storage
• The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
Use only replacement batteries obtained from Snom Technology GmbH.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Do not short-circuit the battery. Short-circuiting
the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object. Do not use a damaged charger
or battery. Using a damaged battery may cause it to explode.
• Do not place or store the battery, inside or outside the headset, in the immediate vicinity of
open fire or other heat sources.
• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places will reduce its capacity and lifetime. Charge batteries
within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +50 °C (+32 °F to +122 °F). A device with a hot
or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
• Avoid overcharging. Repeated overcharging can lead to deterioration in battery performance.
Never attempt charging the battery with reversed polarity as this may cause the gas pressure
inside the battery to rise and lead to leakages.
• Remove battery if storing headset for more than 1 month.
• Store battery in a cool, dry place without corrosive gases.

Battery Disposal

Defective or exhausted batteries should never be disposed of as municipal waste. Return old
batteries to the battery supplier, a licensed battery dealer or a designated collection facility. Do not
incinerate batteries.
