7 HANDSET & BASE CONNECTION

tWhen purchased, all handsets are already registered to the base unit and should link to it when they

are all powered up.

tTo 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.

tDo not place the base unit close to another telephone, TV or audio equipment - it may cause

interference. tPutting the base unit as high as possible ensures the best signal. tOut of Range warning. If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the sound in the earpiece

becomes faint or distorted, 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.
