To use your handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link between them. The signal range between the handset and the base is in accordance

with the normal standards for a DECT phone:

Maximum range up to 300 metres outdoors or 50 metres indoors.

The signal range may decrease if there is any large metal object between the handset

and the base, such as a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet, metallic doors or reinforced concrete.The signal strength may also be reduced by other solid structures like walls,

or by other radio or electrical interference.

2 INSTALL YOUR PHONE

2.1 Connect the Base Station

1)Plug the power supply into the base station.

& line cord

2) Plug the mains adapter into a 230Vac mains telephone socket,and the telephone line plug into your telephone socket.

3)Always use the cables provided in the box.

Warning: Only use the mains power adapter provided. Other power supplies may cause a hazard.

Warning: Install the base unit in a position where the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible

mains socket. Never try to lengthen the mains power cable.

Note: The base unit needs mains power for normal operation, not just for charging the handset batteries.

If you have a Broadband line

If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband 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.

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.
