Getting started
Important: Please make sure you’ve read the safety information on page 35 before you set up your phone system.

If you have purchased a PowerTel 1780 pack you should have:
• 1 base unit
• 1 AC power adaptor for the base unit
• 1 cordless handset
• 1 NiMH rechargeable battery
• 1 battery compartment cover
• 1 telephone line cord
Important: Use only the power adaptors, telephone line cord
and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 1780, otherwise
your phone may not work.
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 underside 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 connection cables through the strain-relief tabs
on the base so the unit sits flush with the desk.
