2 November 2016 / Ver. B 39


User Manual
Ascom d63 DECT Handset TD 93119EN

The messages that are not closed are put last in the message queue and remain in the
message queue until they are closed. They are shown as unread in the message list and are
not shown as read until they have been closed.

See Configuration Manual, Ascom d63 DECT Handset, TD 93151EN for more information
how to set the parameters.

6.6 Message Priority and Call Priority

NOTE: This feature requires settings in the WinPDM/Device Manager, see the Configuration
Manual for the handset (TD number: See 17 Related Documents on page 91).

On incoming calls, the call information dialog is always visible in front of a message by
default. The default can be overridden so that messages with a certain priority can be
displayed without being interrupted by the call. By setting a call priority, the handset
compares the call priority with the message priority to determine which information is to be
displayed, that is, the call information dialogue or the message. If the message priority and
the call priority are equal, the message is displayed.

6.7 Interactive Messaging

NOTE: The support for this feature is dependent on what model of handset that is used. For
more information, see 1.2 Functions and Accessories on page 2.

Interactive Messaging (IM) is a function that extends basic messaging. It lets a handset user
interact with a server application in the system.

An example can be machinery or equipment that can be accessed from the handset or a
personnel calling application. A list of actions can be included in the message sent from the
application to the handset.

An IM is indicated and viewed the same way as an ordinary message, see 6.3 Receive a
Message on page 35. It is saved along with other messages in the message list.

NOTE: The indication of an IM can differ from an ordinary message depending on the
settings in the IM. The application that sends the IM can determine the alert signal volume.

When an IM has been read, the IM may display several options. Mark the one required and
press “Select”. If the selected option requests input, enter the information needed and press
“Ok”. A press on the *-key changes to digit or text input mode depending on whether it is
digit or text format in the message. A read message is indicated the same way as an
ordinary message.

NOTE: If a handset receives an IM update when the original message already has been
deleted, the handset automatically sends a negative acknowledge (NAK) to the system, if
requested.

A very simple interactive message can look like the one in figure 6 on page 41. The options
depends on the configuration in the client application.

17 Related Documents on page 91).

6.8 Message Indication Repetition


The handset can be configured to repeat the audio and visual message received alert
described in 6.3 Receive a Message on page 35. The alert repeats every seven seconds until
the user reads the message or turns the alert off. For the appropriate message settings, see
the Configuration Manual for the handset (TD number: See 17 Related Documents on page
91).

Certain system-defined properties can be assigned to a message to give it a high priority, for
example, an alarm priority message. Alert repeats start automatically when a high priority
message is received. Such messages do not need to be explicitly configured to trigger alert
repeats. A high priority alert is repeated every 10 seconds for a maximum of 5 minutes and
then the alert stops.

Alerts continue to be repeated until the user presses the hook-on, mute button or soft key
for accessing the message.

Note that message indication repeat is a system dependent feature that cannot be
activated from the handset.

6.9 Colored Messaging

NOTE: The support for this system dependent feature is dependent on what model of
handset that is used. For more information, see 1.2 Functions and Accessories on page 2.

Colored messages can be sent to handsets. The sender of a message, that is, an application,
determines the color of the message. Colored messaging can be useful for categorizing

10 System Profiles

NOTE: The support for this feature is dependent on what model of handset that is used. For
more information, see 1.2 Functions and Accessories on page 2.

A system profile can be used when certain settings in a handset are required that the user is
not allowed to change. The settings require configuration in the WinPDM or Device Manager
and include alarm settings, soft key settings and presence settings. For additional
information, see the Configuration Manual for the handset (TD number: See 17 Related
Documents on page 91). When the system profile is activated, its settings is not displayed
in the handset’s menu. It can be shown that a system profile is active in the handset by
showing its profile name in idle mode.

The system profile can be used in combination with the user profile (see 8.6 Profiles on page
64). If there is conflict between the settings in the system profile and the settings in the
user profile, the settings in the system profile is used.

If a user changes a setting in the handset menu that is determined by a system profile, the
menu is updated but the setting is not changed.

For example, in the left-hand view of figure 13, a system profile has been activated and is
indicated by the system profile name “Sys Profile SK1” shown in the handset in idle mode. In
this case, the soft key "Inbox" and middle soft key "PTT 4" are determined by the system
profile settings. If a user, for example, attempts to change the middle soft key name to “PTT
5”, by using the handset menu Shortcuts > Soft keys > Middle (middle view in figure), the
soft key shows “PTT 5” and the setting can be saved. However, the system profile settings
are not overridden. When the handset returns to idle mode, the system profile settings are
redisplayed, showing “PTT 4” instead of the user changed “PTT 5” (right-hand view in
figure).

Tip: If this system profile is to be permanently activated, it is recommended to hide the Soft
keys menu in the handset.

Figure 13. System profile overrides settings changed by the user.

10.1 System Profile Status Indications


The administrator may configure the handset to play a sound if the system profile is
activated or deactivated. This provides the user with an audible alert when the system
profile changes from inactive to active or vice versa.

The feature can be triggered by several kinds of event, such as moving between different
parts of a buildings where a system profile might be appropriate in one location but not
required in another.The system profile name is displayed when the handset is in idle mode.
The user should be aware that the characteristics and behaviour of the handset change
when the system profile changes. For the exact sound and characteristics of the handset

16. Energy Efficiency


Recommendations on how to save energy:

• Do not charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is above +40° C or below 
+5° C (above 104° F or below 41° F). Charging below +5° C will harm the battery and
shorten the lifetime.
• Note that storing Li-Ion batteries at high temperature dramatically reduces its capacity.
For example storage around +60° C reduces capacity with 20% in less than a month,
permanently.
• Set the handset screen saver to the "Black also in call" option. The screen goes black and
the backlight is turned off. In addition, the backlight is turned off when the handset is in
call. This helps extend battery life especially when the user is on an extended call. See
Screen Saver on page 71.
• The handset can be configured to switch off when placed in the charger. When removed
from the charger the handset switches on automatically. See 8.1.5 In Charger Action
when not in Call on page 52.
• If the charger will not be used for a longer period of time, remove the power adapter to
the charger.
• Do not put the handset in charger if no charging is needed.

and disturbances from other 2.45 GHz equipment. Different headsets can also give different
communication distances.

A.12.3 Out of Range

If a connection cannot be made with the selected Bluetooth headset the call is transferred
automatically to the handset.

If the Bluetooth headset and the handset get out of range from each other the connection is
temporarily lost. Since the last connected headset is always considered "selected", the
connection is automatically established again when a call is made or received.

NOTE: Product Designator for regulatory purposes of the Ascom DECT Handset d63 is DH7.

Safe operation
For safe and efficient operation of the handset, observe the guidelines given in this manual
and all necessary safety precautions when using the handset. Follow the operating
instructions and adhere to all warnings and safety precautions located on the product, the
Regulatory Information delivered with the handset, and this User Manual.

Do not disassemble the handset. Disassembling the handset voids the warranty. The
handset consists of no consumer serviceable components. Service should be performed by
an Authorized Service Center only.

Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.Frequency Range

The handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) energy. The handset operates on different frequency ranges depending on
market and employs commonly used modulation techniques:

EU (ETSI): 1880-1900 MHz/250mW


USA/Canada (FCC): 1920-1930 MHz/100mW

B.1 Regulatory Information (EU and EFTA)

B.1.1 Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Close to ear Handheld/body mounted


DH7-xxxx 0.075 W/kg (10 g) 0.076 W/kg (10 g)

THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your mobile device
is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by
the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 W/kg
averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum
value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a
network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the
device at the ear is 0.201 W/kg and at the body is 0.278 W/kg (The measure distance of
1.5 cm). Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the
network band.
