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

6.1Connecting 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.

6.2Installing 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.

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.

6.3Removing the back cover of the Eclipse Handset (See P5)

Insert the supplied key into the groove as indicated in the illustration and twist it clockwise to release the back cover.
