GN Ellipse Standard

- flexibility & long range mobility
When you are on the phone there is no reason why you should be limited to only move within the length of a cord. In other words, you should feel as comfortable as in a normal face-to-face conversation. The GN Ellipse Standard is a well-established cordless product that has proved its performance and high quality in the professional working environment. The GN Ellipse is designed for people who wish to take the next step after handsfree use of their telephones. Simply install the base unit beside the phone and keep your lightweight remote unit connected to the headset. Now youre ready to have a conversation up to 150 meters from your desk. Not only can you leave your desk to retrieve information without hanging up, you can even answer calls when you are far away from
your desk (with the optional Hook Switch). When IP connectivity is required, the optional GN SeleCT allows you to switch between your PC and telephone. GN Netcom has chosen the 1.8 GHz DECT technology for the GN Ellipse family, because it is superior to any other cordless technology, providing enhanced quality of speech, longer range, and increased number of simultaneous users. The GN Ellipse Standard can be connected to all of the most commonly used telephones and telephone systems. And for even greater flexibility, any GN Netcom headset can be used with the GN Ellipse Standard.

You can now move freely up to 150 meters away from the base unit, depending on the environment in your office building.

If you wish to make a call, dial the desired number. To end the call, press the link button (VIII) on the remote unit. Charging the battery 20 When the GN Ellipse is not in use, place the remote unit in the base. This ensures optimum battery lifetime. When placed in the base unit, the battery charging indicator (IV) automatically lights up and the remote unit is being charged. It takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery. If you use GN Ellipse in between, charging takes longer. A fully charged battery provides up to 12 hours of talktime. With an extra battery placed on the other side of the base unit, it is possible to double the talktime up to 24 hours. If battery power gets too low, GN Ellipse lets you know by sending a series of signals every 20 seconds in your headset (see Technical Data). Battery discharge To ensure optimum battery lifetime, the battery should be completely discharged regularly. A discharge/recharge cycle will take app. 2 hours. When fully discharged, the battery will automatically be recharged. If the remote unit is removed from the base unit during the discharge, this will automatically be cancelled and the system will resume normal operation. 21 Place remote unit in the base unit. The GN Ellipse must be on handset mode (on-line indicator (V) on the remote unit is off) 22 Press and hold both the mute button and link button (VIII) for 5 seconds to start the discharge. When the battery is discharging, the on-line indicator (III) and the battery charging indicator (IV) will flash alternately. NOTE: Only one battery can be placed in the base unit when discharging. Furthermore, the battery must be placed in the base unit before the battery discharge mode is entered by pressing the mute and link button (VIII). Troubleshooting If you do not get a dial tone: Check that all cords and jacks are connected correctly. Make sure that the Quick-Disconnector is fully inserted in the remote unit. Make sure that the power unit adaptor is plugged in and has power. Make sure that the link has been established and that the on-line indicators are lit up. Make sure that the battery is properly installed in the remote unit. Make sure that the battery is fully charged. Make sure that the serial numbers in the bottom of the base unit and on the back of the remote unit match. The numbers must match for operation. If you hear signals in your headset: A signal every 15 seconds means that the mute function is on. A signal every 10 seconds means that you are out of range, move closer to base unit. A signal every 20 seconds means that the battery is getting low and needs to be charged: For proper charge, make sure that the battery charging indicator is lit when the remote unit is placed in base unit. The battery may need up to three charge and discharge cycles to reach full capacity. If callers have problems hearing you: Make sure that the mute function is off (see Step 15 ). Re-adjust the microphone volume as described in Step 11-13. Check the position of the headset microphone and make sure that it is placed at the corner of your mouth. You may be out of range, move closer to the base unit. Noise may be caused, if the base unit is placed too close to your telephone. With an extension cord it is possible to place the GN Ellipse further away from your telephone. Please contact you reseller for further information. 6
