Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your Symphony 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 Symphony 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 Symphony other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise

If you’re using the SMS text messaging facility,

please note that only one SMS phone connected to the line can receive messages. So you shouldn’t connect another SMS-compatible phone to the same line as your Symphony

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 Symphony charger pod must be used with the mains adapter supplied with the unit. Using any other adapter will result in non-compliance with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

Installation and set-up

Charge 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 in position on the charging cradle.

Leave the handset on the charging cradle for 15 hours.

The battery charge level symbol should increase by one bar every half hour when you’re charging an empty battery.If you think that the symbol isn’t showing the correct battery charge level, remove and refit the batteries.

Keeping the batteries charged

When you don’t need to use the handset (for example, overnight or when you go out), replace it on the base unit or charger pod, to keep the batteries charged.

Whenever the battery charge level symbol shows ‘nearly empty’( ), place the handset on the base unit or charger pod to charge the batteries.

Connect the base unit to the telephone line

Switch off power at the mains socket Insert the telephone line plug into the

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

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

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 handset’s display may briefly show 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.
