Important note — emergency calls

The iDECT X2 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.)

Unpacking your iDECT X2 system

In the box are:

■

the cordless handset (up to four, depending on which iDECT X2 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 5 and 6. Please read the notes on page 4 before you install the base unit.

Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your iDECT X2 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 X2 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 X2 has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

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 X2 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 X2 needs electrical power for normal operation; not just for charging the batteries.

Electrical safety

Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around

‘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 X2 outdoors during a thunder

■

storm — 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.

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 occasion

ally cause a short break in the link between the handset and the base unit while you are on a call. The ‘signal level’ on symbol 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.
