Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the
handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after
the initial 16 hour charge).
Please note however, that new NiMH batteries do not
reach full capacity until they have been in normal use
for several days.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week
will help them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will
reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset.
Eventually they will need to be replaced. New
batteries can be obtained from the TecHelp on 1300
369 193 or your nearest electrical retailer.
Getting started
Handset range
The Telstra 7200/7200a works by sending radio signals
between the handset and the base. Any source of
interference between the handset and base may
impact on the range you obtain from your cordless
telephone. In ideal conditions your Telstra 7200/7200a
has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is
a clear line of sight between the base and the handset.
With the base indoors and handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres.
Any obstruction between the base and handset will
reduce the range signifi cantly. Thick stone walls can
severely affect the range.
Under no circumstances use non
rechargeable batteries. Only use NiMH
rechargeable batteries with a capacity of
550mAh or higher. Using inappropriate
batteries will invalidate your guarantee
and may damage the telephone.
