5. HANDSET & BASE CONNECTION
tWhen purchased, all handsets are already registered to the base unit and should link to it when they are
all powered up.
tTo use your cordless handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link between
them. The signal between the handset and the base unit is in accordance with the normal standards for a
DECT phone: Maximum range up to 300 metres outdoors or 50 metres indoors. Be aware that:
>Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, mirrors or filing cabinets, between the handset and the base
unit may block the radio signal.
>Solid structures, such as walls, may reduce the signal strength.
>Electrical equipment may cause interference and/or affect the range.
tDo not place the base unit close to another telephone, TV or audio equipment - it may cause interference.
tPutting the base unit as high as possible ensures the best signal.
tIf the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted during a call, you may be going out of range of the
base unit. Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds; otherwise the line may be cut off.
6. INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
6.1 Connecting the Base Station (See P4)
tPlug the mains power cable (15) and telephone line cord (16) into the base station.
tPlug the power adapter into a 100 - 240Vac, 50 - 60Hz mains power socket and the telephone line cord
into a telephone line socket.
Warning: Always use the cables provided in the box. Use only the supplied adaptor. Using other power
adapter may damage the unit.
Note: Place the base unit within easy reach of the mains power socket. Never try to lengthen the mains
power cable. The base station needs mains power for normal operation and the cordless handsets will
not work without it.
6.2 Installing and Charging the Rechargeable Batteries
tInsert the 2 supplied batteries into the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity (see markings
inside battery compartment).
Warning: Use only the supplied NiMH rechargeable batteries.
tPlace the back cover over the back of the handset and press down until it clicks into place.
tPlace the handset on the base and charge for 15 hours before using the handset for the first time.
>The handset will give a double beep when it is properly placed on the base and the battery charging
indicator on the base lights up to indicate charging.
UK
Note: The handset may become warm when the batteries are being charged or during prolonged periods
of use. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions.
