• 1 AC power adaptor for the base unit
• 1 cordless handset

Set up your phone system
Location
Place the base unit near a mains socket and a telephone wall jack to ensure that the connection cables are long enough. Keep the unit approx. 1 m away from other electronic devices to prevent interference. The base unit uses radio signals to connect with the cordless handset. Signal strength depends on the base unit's location. The maximum range is 300 m based on an unobstructed line of sight; the range is shorter inside buildings because of walls and other obstacles.
Connect the base unit
1. Plug the connector on the cable end into the corresponding jack on the rear side of the base and plug the power adaptor into the wall socket.
2. Plug the small connector on the end of the telephone line cord into the corresponding jack on the base and plug the other end into the telephone jack.
Note: Guide the power adapter cable through the strain-relief tab on the base.
