Operation Manual

Getting started

5 If you want to record outgoing messages from an external source fit the trans-

fer cable with the jack plug to the "IN" socket and the cinch plug to the audio

output on the external device (audio system, cassette recorder etc.).

6 If you want to transfer the telephone book from one different tiptel 540 SD to

another use the transfer cable with two jack plugs. Fit the plugs to the "OUT"

socket on one device and the "IN" socket on the other.

7 After the first start-up the device will ask you to select the language you wish

to use. Use the control keys (up and down) to select the desired language.

Then exit the menu by pressing the stop key.

Notes on memory cards

Your tiptel 540 SD supports all standard SD (Secure Digital) and MMC (Multi Media

Card) memory cards with a capacity between 32 MB and 2 GB. Memory cards are

offered by many manufacturers with different grades of quality, so that we cannot

recommend a special card or manufacturer.

If the device reports a memory card error or you observe gaps in your recordings

you should use a memory card of another manufacturer.

Memory use is - depending on the recording quality selected - between one and

two minutes per MByte. With a 512 MByte memory card this will result in some 8.5

or 17 hours.

Once you insert a new memory card a directory call "TIPTEL" will be created. This

directory can contain up to 999 recordings. In case you have set up mailboxes the

device will create sub-directories (MBX1, MBX2, etc.). Each mailbox directory can

contain up to 99 recordings.

The memory card must be formatted the FAT16 file system. In case there is an error

message upon inserting the card you can re-format it in the device. All data on the

card, however, will get lost this way.

If you wish to use memory cards with more than 2 GByte (e.g. 4 GByte) the card

must be formatted once in your tiptel 540 SD. The device will partition the card in

such a way that there is only one partition with the size of 2 GByte is available. This

operation cannot be undone.

A standard card reader in your computer can be used to read out the memory card,

so that you can archive recordings to your computer or just play them back on your

computer. Recordings that have been edited or renamed by your computer can no

longer be played back with your tiptel 540 SD.
