Electrical risks

Risk of injury or death due to electrical current!
In the event of danger, disconnect the device from the 230 V mains immediately.

• Do not use the device if the mains adapter, cable or device are damaged. Take care not to drop the device as it could be damaged.
• The voltage within the device is at hazardous levels. Never open the casing or insert object through the ventilation slot.
• Prevent liquids penetrating the device. If this should occur, unplug the mains adapter from the power socket.
• Also unplug the mains adapter from the power socket if faults occur during operation and before cleaning the device.
• Do not touch the plug connectors with sharp or metal objects.
• Do not modify or repair the device. The device or cable should only be repaired by a specialist in the service centre.
• Children frequently underestimate the dangers of handling electrical devices. Never allow children near electrical devices unsupervised.
• Do not use the device in humid areas (e.g. bathroom) or very dusty areas.
• Devices connected to the mains may be damaged during thunderstorms. Therefore always unplug the device in a thunderstorm.
• The mains adapter must be completely removed from the socket to disconnect the device fully from the power supply. Always pull the plug and never the cable.
• Check cables regularly for damage, protect them against hot surfaces and other hazards, unwind them fully, lay them so that nobody can trip over them and do not constrict them.

Fire risks:
The heat generated inside the device may cause a fault or a fire in the device. Therefore do not expose this device to extreme temperatures:

• Avoid direct sunlight and heat;
• Do not cover the ventilation slot on the device.

Risk of explosion:

• Do not operate the device in an environment with a risk of explosions!

Risk of suffocation:

• Keep packaging films out of the reach of children.
• Consider possible risks to children (strangulation) if you use extension cables.

Faults:

Possible risk of injury due to faults in the device!
Exercise particular caution with medical electrical devices.

• The function of medical electrical devices may be affected by electromagnetic radiation from your device. Therefore make sure that the device is installed and operated sufficiently far away from medical electrical devices. The same applies to implanted medical devices such as pacemakers.

Possible damage:

• Only use the supplied main adapters. Do not use any third-party adapters.
• The socket for connecting the mains adapter must be near the device and easily accessible.

Installation

Take account of the safety notes about the environment and circumstances of the installation and location! Do not commission the device in an environment with a risk of explosions!

Commissioning the repeater station

See figure 1:

• Put the cradle feet as shown in figure 2 on the repeater bottom:
  • For wall mounting you have to use 'WALL'
  • For desktop charging you have to use 'DESK'
    
    Figure 2

The charging station can be wall mounted as shown on figure 3.
The drilling holes need to be drilled horizontally 3 cm from each other:

Event LED

The front LINK LED indicates the following:

• Blinking fast: registration mode
• Blinking slow: not registered or out of base range.
• Steady lit: Linked with base station.

Repeater working

The repeater only works with the other TOPCOM Ultra series!

A repeater can be used to extend the range between the base station and handset(s). Up to 6 repeaters can be registered to the base and two times 3 repeaters can be put in cascade

See figure 4 / 5:

When handsets are within the base range, you can talk internally between 2 handsets and one third handset can talk with the external line at the same time. The maximum number of handsets that can be registered at your base station is not affected by using repeaters. But within a repeater range only 2 handsets can communicate. Meaning that when more than 2 handsets are within one repeater range, only 2 handsets can talk internally and other handsets cannot talk. Or only 1 handset can communicate with the external line and other handsets cannot talk internally.

Registering a repeater

To make a repeater work you have to register it onto the base. Hold down the paging key on the base station for more than 5 seconds until the message counter display on the base station start to flash with ' '-' '. Registration mode on the base is now active for approx. 3 minutes. You must perform the following steps to register a repeater:
Press the registration key on the repeater. The link LED will blink 0,5 seconds on/off. After the registration the link LED will lit steady.

Placing a repeater at the exact location

When you want to extend the base range it's important that you place the repeater before the end of the reception range of the base, and in the direction where you want to extend the range. Be ensured that there is a power outlet at the place of installation and that the link LED doesn't blink. If the LED blinks the repeater is too far away or reception is being hindered by thick walls or metal objects.

By using the low range warning tone of a handset, you can also find a good location to place your repeater.

Servicing

Maintenance

The device is maintenance-free. If the device comes into contact with liquid, disconnect the device from the power supply and dry it out carefully. Check its operation after 2-3 days. Send it into the service centre if it is defective.

Cleaning
