Nortel_Networks_Cordless_Telephone

Congratulations

on your new Nortel 743X/744X handset

X represents the frequency variant of the models:

0 = (2.4 GHz frequency band)

2 = (1900 - 1920 MHz frequency band)

3 = (1880 - 1885 MHz frequency band)

4 = (1900 - 1930 MHz frequency band)

5 = (1880 - 1900 MHz frequency band)

The handset 743X/744X will provide you with the greatest possible degree of flexibility and mobility due to high battery capacity, practi- cal weight, size and design.

Please note that the handset 743X/744X is for use with the following Nortel Networks host systems:

???Norstar MICS 7.0 or greater (Modular Integrated Communications System)

???Norstar CICS 7.0 or greater (Compact Integrated Communications System)

???BCM 3.7 or greater (Business Communication Manager)

Getting Started

Read all the information in this section before you use your handset.

Handset information

Ensure that the adapter voltage is the same as the electrical outlet voltage. The 743X/744X handset uses radio signals and does not guarantee a connection in all circumstances. Do not rely on a cordless handset to make emergency calls.

Never use your handset:

???in the vicinity of electrical detonators

???in shielded rooms

???in areas where radio transmission is forbidden

???in aircraft

Do not place a handset near:

???water, moisture or damp areas

???heat sources, direct sunlight or unventilated areas

???devices which generate strong magnetic fields such as electrical appliances, fluorescent lamps, computers, radios, televisions or fax machines

???areas where the handset can be covered, its ventilation impaired, liquid spilled on the unit or objects inserted into the handset through any openings.

???areas with dust, vibration, shock or temperature extremes

Check for small metal objects in the handset earpiece/mouthpiece before using the handset.

Do not store or locate flammable liq- uids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment or vicinity as the cordless handset, its parts or accessories.

Battery information

Read the following information before you handle the batteries:

???Do not replace the batteries in potentially explosive environments, such as rooms where flammable liquids or gases are present.

???The battery will explode if disposed of in a fire.

???Do not charge the batteries unless you use the Nortel Networks approved charger and the proper batteries.

???Only use battery type NT7B65LD in the 743X/744X handset. Do not use these batteries with other products. These batteries were designed specifically for use with the 743X/744X handset and the 743X/744X charger ONLY. Improper use of the batteries may result in fire hazard.

???Do not do anything that would cause the battery to short circuit.

???Do not let the battery or the charger come into contact with conductive metal objects.

Installing battery

The battery is connected to the hand- set when it is shipped from the fac- tory.

1To change the battery unscrew the plate on the rear of the handset to access the battery compartment. Use a normal screw driver.

2Insert the screwdriver into the small crack behind the blind cover and break to open the handset.

3Place the battery plug in the slot in the battery box.

4Insert battery with the label readable.

5Replace the back cover.

Charging battery

When charging the battery for the first time, it is necessary to leave the handset in the charger for 14-16 hours for the battery to be fully charged.

During normal operation, it takes approximately 3.5 hours to charge the handset from fully discharged to its full capacity.

??? Place the handset in the charger.

For correct charging, be sure the room temperature is between 0??C and 25??C. Do not place the handset in direct sunlight. The battery has a built-in heat sensor which will stop charging if the battery temperature is too high.

If the handset is turned off when placed in charger, only the LED indicates the charging. When handset is turned off, the LED

flashes at a low frequency while charging and lights constantly when the charging is finished. There will be no reaction on incoming calls.

If the handset is turned on when charging, the display shows the charging status. The display goes back to normal mode when fully charged. It will not vibrate. Auto-answer is inactive. The handset reacts normally for incoming calls.

It is necessary to recharge the battery when the display shows BATTERY

LOW, or if the handset cannot be turned on. When the battery is fully discharged, up to 10 minutes may pass before charging begins (display lights up). When the charger begins the charging, status is shown in the display if the handset is turned on.

Checking battery capacity

In the BATTERY MENU it is possible to see the remaining battery capacity.

For reading the correct capacity, the handset has to be removed from the charger for at least one hour.

1Press MENU ( ) and use the < or > keys to reach the BATTERY MENU.

2Press 3 to enter the BATTERY MENU, and see the current status of the battery capacity.

3Press 3 to return to the menu system, or press MENU ( ) to quit.

The indication on the display is not necessarily an exact reflection on the remaining speech time, but only an indication of the voltage on the bat- tery.

Battery disposal

Defective batteries must be returned to a collection point for chemical waste disposal.

Warning: Nickel metal hydride batteries must be disposed of properly. Do not dispose of the batteries in office or household waste.

Nickel metal hydride batteries are recyclable. You can help preserve the environment by returning your unwanted batteries to your nearest recycling center for recycling or proper disposal.

Contact your system administrator for more information about battery dis- posal and recycling centers in your local area.
