Important note — emergency calls

The iDECT V2i is not designed for making emergency calls if the mains power fails. So you should make alternative arrangements for access to Emergency Services.

(This means that you should also have a basic phone, that does not need mains power, connected to your line so that you can make calls during a power failure.)

If you need help …

The Help Line is available from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday, on

0845 345 9677

Calls are charged at Local Call rate.

Unpacking your iDECT V2i system

In the box are:

■the cordless handset (up to four, depending on which iDECT V2i system you’ve bought)

■the base unit

■two batteries and a battery compartment cover for each handset

■a telephone line cable for the base unit

■a mains power lead and adapter for the base unit

■up to three charger pods, each with a separate mains power lead and adapter, for multi-handset systems

Keep the packaging materials in a safe place in case you later need to transport the unit. Keep your sales (till) receipt, which is your guarantee.

Before you can use the handset to make calls you’ll need to fit and fully charge the batteries, as described on pages 7 and 8. Please read the notes on page 4 before you install the base unit.

Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your iDECT V2i to a direct exchange line (DEL) — a line connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an extension socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not connect the iDECT V2i as an extension to a payphone.

The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to more than 4 — otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly. The iDECT V2i has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Read these notes first

Choosing a site for the base unit and charger pod

Radio signals between handset and base unit

Mains power connection

The base unit and charger pod(s) should be placed on a level surface, in a position where:

■the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible 230-V AC switched mains supply socket — never try to lengthen the mains power cable

■the base unit’s telephone line cable will reach your telephone line socket or extension socket (the charger pod does not have a telephone line connection)

■it is not close to another telephone — this can cause radio interference

■it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else where it might get wet

■it is not close to other electrical equipment — fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens, fluorescent lights TVs etc.

To use your handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link between them. Be aware that:

■Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the base unit may block the radio signal.

■Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the signal strength.

IMPORTANT — The iDECT V2i base unit and charger pod must be used with the mains adapter supplied with the unit. Using any other adapter will result in noncompliance with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

Make sure mains power to the base unit stays switched on. The iDECT V2i needs electrical power for normal operation; not just for charging the batteries.

If you have a If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband Broadband line connection, you will need to insert a micro-filter between

the telephone and the telephone line; otherwise you may

get interference between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems.

TELEPHONE WALL

SOCKET

MICROFILTER

In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a micro-filter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband micro-filters, contact your broadband supplier.

Make sure the battery compartment door is securely in place. If you have problems fitting the batteries,

contact the Help Line on 0845 345 9677.

Installation and set-up

7Charge the batteries for 15 hours

Before you use the handset for the first time, it’s important to charge the batteries fully.

The handset ‘beeps’ when it’s correctly placed on the charging cradle.

Leave the handset on the charging cradle for 15 hours.

8 Connect the base unit to the telephone line

The ‘battery charge level’ symbol blinks

Switch off power at the mains socket

Insert the telephone line plug into the socket as shown

Switch mains power back on

Make sure the mains socket is switched on if you want to use the phone — it will not work without electrical power

Use the plug to raise the shutter before pushing it into the socket

NOTE: the charger pod does not have a connection to the telephone line.

Before you start

Electrical safety

Interference

‘Out of range’ warning

■DON’T let the base unit or charger pod get wet. Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are wet or standing in water.

■If the base unit or charger pod ever falls into water, DON’T retrieve it until you have unplugged the power lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from the telephone socket (base unit only); then pull it out by the unplugged cables.

■NEVER use your iDECT V2i outdoors during a thunderstorm — unplug the base unit from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the guarantee.

If the sound quality gets worse as you move around

while on a call, this is probably caused by interference between the handset and the base unit, perhaps because you are too near to another phone or other electrical equipment.

Move to a different position to clear the interference. If you do not move, your call may be cut off.

Radio interference in the environment may occasionally cause a short break in the link between the handset and the base unit while you are on a call. The ‘signal level’ symbol on the handset’s display may flash until the link is restored.

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, until the tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.
