Using The NetLink
Wireless Telephone
The Wireless Telephone Headset
SpectraLink offers optional headsets for use in
noisy environments or if you need to have your
hands free while talking on the Wireless Tele-
phone.
To use the headset, simply plug it into the jack on
the side of the Wireless Telephone. The headset
is specially designed to work properly with The
NetLink Wireless Telephone. We do not recom-
mend using other headsets.
Answer A Call
To answer a call when your headset is plugged
in, press any key except PWR or END.
Low Headset Volume
The volume level can be adjusted separately for
headset use. Plug the headset in and press FCN
until VOLUME displays. Use the keypad to enter
a volume level from 1 (softest) to 8 (highest).
This sets the low volume. High volume is auto-
matically set two levels higher than low volume.
Toggle between high and low volume by press-
ing the VOL key while in a call.
About Battery Packs
The Wireless Telephone will need to have its
Battery Pack recharged periodically. The Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable Wireless
Telephone Battery Pack gives you four hours of
talk time or 80 hours of stand-by time. Stand-by
time is when the Wireless Telephone is turned
on, but you are not using it.
The Wireless Telephone also supports a Nickel-
Cadmium (NiCd) battery pack, which supports
two hours talk time and 40 hours stand-by.
Indications of Low Battery
The Wireless Telephone will notify you when
the charge on the Battery Pack becomes low. If
the Wireless Telephone is in use, the BATT mes-
sage will display and you will hear a soft beep
through the earpiece every six seconds. You
have two minutes to complete the call or change
the Battery Pack
The Battery Pack can be changed while the call is
still in progress. Do not press END. Quickly re-
move the discharged Battery Pack and replace
with a charged Battery Pack, press PWR, and
then press START to resume the call in progress.
If the Wireless Telephone is idle, you will hear a
brief modulated ring signal and the Low Battery
message will display. Your Wireless Telephone
will not operate until you replace the Battery
Pack. Depending on the charging equipment you
have purchased, you will either place the Wireless
Telephone in a Charging Stand to charge the Bat-
tery Pack, or you will remove the Pack from the
Wireless Telephone and install it in the charger.
Headset and Battery Packs
Removing and Replacing the Battery
Pack on the Wireless Telephone
To remove the Battery Pack, press down on the
oval button above the Battery Pack on the back
of the Wireless Telephone. Slide the Pack toward
the bottom of the Wireless Telephone until it
stops, then lift up.
To replace the Battery Pack, first properly align
the top of the Battery Pack with the arrows on
the label on the back of the Wireless Telephone.
Gently press and slide the Pack toward the top of
the Wireless Telephone until it snaps into place.
You should not have to force it against the Wire-
less Telephone.
Take care not to short the battery contacts on the
pack with metal objects such as coins, keys or
paper clips. Shorting the contacts can cause per-
manent damage.
Charging the Wireless Telephone
Chargers are shipped with the appropriate power
supply for the site's location. Connect the Stand
or Charger to an appropriate wall outlet via its
power supply and it's ready for use. Chargers op-
erate in a 50° to 85° F (10° to 30° C) environ-
ment. Do not expose them to freezing tempera-
tures or direct sunlight.
The Dual Charging Stand
The SpectraLink Dual Charging Stand is a two-
slot desktop charger designed to charge the Nick-
el Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Packs required
to operate Wireless Telephones. Full charging is
accomplished in approximately two hours.
Only NiMH Battery Packs with a YELLOW
label on the handset contact side may be charged
in the Dual Charging Stand.
Older Battery Packs with a GREEN label will not
charge. If the indicator light is fast flashing with a
Battery Pack or handset in the slot, check to make
sure the Battery Pack has a YELLOW label.
• Before you use the Wireless Telephone,
the Battery Pack must be charged.
See Battery Packs.
• You can only use the Wireless
Telephone with your facility's
telephone system. It is not a public
cellular phone.
• The PWR key turns the Wireless
Telephone on and off. The START
and END keys begin and end calls.
When you finish a call, press the END
key, not the PWR key.
• Keep the Wireless Telephone away
from your ear when it is ringing.
• The microphone is in the Wireless Tele-
phone's lower right corner. This is a
sensitive microphone that works well
when the telephone is correctly posi-
tioned on your ear. There is no need to
speak directly into the microphone, but
do not cover it with your hand or
cheek when talking on the Wireless
Telephone.
• The Wireless Telephone's LCD panel
displays information about the status
of your Wireless Telephone and
prompts you about features.
• If the Wireless Telephone's Battery
Pack is low, you will hear a soft beep
and see the BATT or LOW BATTERY
message in the display.
• Improper disposal of Battery Packs can
damage the environment. Dispose of
batteries properly.
• You can control the Wireless Tele-
phone's volume level and the type of
ring. See Setting User Preferences.
• To protect the Wireless Telephone, use
a carrying case.
Tips For Use
This section applies to the Wireless
Telephone, Dual Charging Stand and
the Quick Charger equally.
The Wireless Telephone and Chargers
have been designed to withstand the wear
and tear of normal use; however, avoid
dropping the Wireless Telephone or
knocking it against hard surfaces.
Carrying the Wireless Telephone in a
holster or carrying case will help to
protect it.
There are no serviceable parts in the
Wireless Telephone or Chargers. You
should not open the Wireless Telephone
case nor disassemble the Chargers. Doing
so will void your warranty.
Turn off the Wireless Telephone and
unplug the Charger before you clean
them. Never immerse either in water.
Clean the exterior surfaces, including the
charging contacts, with a cloth that has
been slightly moistened with water. Take
care not to exert undue pressure on the
Charger electrical contacts while wiping.
Wiping the handset surface with a
water-dampened cloth or paper towel will
remove most films or residues. If the
soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a
mild detergent solution may be used. Be
sure to wipe away any detergent residue
with a clean water-dampened cloth.
The Wireless Telephone may be cleaned
with any general-purpose household glass
and surface-type cleaner. DO NOT
SPRAY THE HANDSET DIRECTLY!
Isopropyl alcohol may be used
occasionally applied by a cloth or paper
towel. When using alcohol, do not rub
the keypad characters vigorously. Doing
so will significantly degrade legibility.
Do not use any chemical cleaners. They
can harm the plastic shell. If necessary, a
small amount of mild surface or window
cleaner can be applied to the cloth, but do
not spray the cleaner onto the Wireless
Telephone or Charger.

keep the Wireless Telephone from charging.
Using the Dual Charging Stand
Place the Dual Charging Stand on a flat, hori-
zontal surface.
Place the Wireless Telephone in the front com-
partment facing forward. It may be on or off
during charging. A single spare Battery Pack
may be placed in the rear slot. Either slot can
be chosen to take priority. The first Battery
Pack placed into either slot is charged first.
There are two indicator lights, one for each
charging slot. A solid light indicates the Battery
Pack in the corresponding slot is charging. The
light turns off when the Charger is finished
charging the Battery Pack. A flashing light indi-
cates the Battery Pack is not charging and must
be replaced. If the light is off, it indicates that
the slot is empty, not charging or the unit is
powered off.
Cleaning the Dual Charging Stand
Clean the Dual Charging Stand by wiping the
surface with a clean, water-dampened cloth or
paper towel. A mild detergent solution may be
used. Be sure to wipe away any detergent
residue with a plain water dampened cloth. DO
NOT IMMERSE THE DUAL CHARGING
STAND IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
The Battery Pack contacts may be cleaned with
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol applied with a Q-
tip, cloth, or paper towel. Do not push or pull

POUR LIQUIDS INTO THE SLOTS.
The Quick Charger
The Quick Charger holds a single Battery Pack
and can charge it in approximately one hour.
Place the Battery Pack on the Charger by gently
sliding the Pack upward into the Charger in a
manner similar to installing it on the Wireless
Telephone. If placed correctly, the light on the
Quick Charger will shine solid green. When the
Pack is fully charged, the green light will begin
to flash.
Every 11th charge the Quick Charger will auto-
matically recondition the Battery Pack, as indi-
cated by the flashing amber light. This may take
from three to six hours depending on the state
