24 Aeris 214 / 214T
Range / Location
To obtain the best possible range, we recommend positioning the telephone in a loca-
tion central to your sphere of activity. Avoid positioning the telephone in niches,
recesses and behind steel doors.
The maximum range between base station and handset is approximately 300 meters
outdoors. Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural
factors, the range may be smaller. Silent zones can occur due to the digital transmis-
sion in the frequency range used – even within the range, depending on
the structural environment. In this case the transmission quality may be reduced
through the increased incidence of short breaks in transmission. Normal call quality
can be restored if you move slightly out of the silent zone. If the range is exceeded, the
call will be disconnected unless you move back into range within ten seconds.
Battery advice
Use only the original batteries (2 x NiMH, AAA, 1.2 V 500mAh) as well as the original
power supply (6 V DC / 300 mA) for Aeris 214 and (6 V DC / 450 mA) for Aeris 214T.
The handset operating times (standby 100 hours/active 10 hours) and charging times
apply only if the battery is charged to the defined minimum capacity (1.2 V / 500 mAh).
Charging is electronically controlled to ensure optimal charging and care of batteries in
different charge states. Full capacity is achieved only after several charging cycles.
Note:
Using other rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries/primary
cells can be dangerous and cause malfunctions or damage to the telephone.
Do not short-circuit the batteries (danger). In particular, avoid inadvertent
short-circuits during storage and transport e.g. bunch of keys, metal panels
or similar objects, and make sure the batteries do not come into contact with
greasy materials. When not in the handset, therefore, batteries should be
stored only in insulating packaging. Ensure also that the contacts do not
touch greasy parts.
Rechargeable batteries can become warm while recharging. This is a normal
occurrence and is not dangerous.
