Important note!
Use an original adapter only (9VAC)!
Under power failure conditions the telephone will not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone not
dependant on local power is available for emergency use. The earpiece of the handset may attract small
ferromagnetic objects such as staples and pins, care should be taken when placing the handset near these
items. Do not place the base unit close to other electrical equipment such as TV sets, computer screens,
telecom equipment, fans etc. This will minimise the risk of interference. Do not place the base unit in
areas where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other major heat sources.

Installation
Belt clip
A belt clip is included, which can be tted on the back of the handset. The belt
clip enables the handset to be attached to a belt, waistband or similar. To attach
the clip, align it with the indents on the sides of the handset and press it into
place over the back of the handset.
Battery
The telephone is supplied with environmentally-friendly nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) batteries – 3 x AAA 1.2V. As with all batteries, performance may
degrade over time; should you notice that the standby time has reduced
considerably or there are signs of leakage, the batteries should be replaced.
Fully-charged batteries will last for approx. 120 hours in standby or 10 hours’
call time. These operation times apply at normal room temperature. Full battery
capacity will be achieved once the batteries have been charged 4-5 times,
completely discharged batteries will take about 10 hours to fully recharge.
To maintain optimum charge capacity it is better for hansets to be charged every
other night, rather than after each call.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the batteries
from being overcharged or damaged by prolonged charging.
Please note!
To ensure and maintain good charging of the handset batteries we recommend that the base and
handset charging contacts are cleaned regularly, ie monthly, with a pencil eraser and/or sotf
dry cloth.The recharging system used in this model may result in the handset and the batteries
becoming warm. This is normal and will not damage the equipment.
When the telephone is installed for the rst time, the batteries must be charged for 24 hours
before using the telephone. Use original batteries only. The guarantee does not cover any
damage caused by incorrect use of batteries. Please dispose of any batteris in a responsible and
environmantally friendly manner.

Installation
Battery charge indicator
The symbol [ in the display indicates when it is time to recharge the batteries.
When the battery is running low the display will show and a warning tone
will be heard. If the handset is not recharged at this time, the phone will cease
to function until it is recharged.
The symbol will be displayed when the battery is fully charged.
Please note:
When the handset has been switched off and then on again it may take up to ve minutes before
the correct charge indication is displayed.
Turning the handset on/off
Press and hold ! for a few seconds to turn the handset on or off.
When the handset is turned off, no calls can be made or received. The handset
is designed to be always turned on, i.e. it is not necessary to turn it off overnight.
However, we recommend turning the handset off if it is not to be used for a
prolonged period of time, e.g. during a holiday. If the batteries run low, the
handset will turn off.
Range
The range of the telephone varies depending on different factors in the
surrounding environment. Radio waves transmitting the call may be hindered
by obstructions or signal reections that can reduce the range.
Specied ranges require unobstructed transmission between the handset and the
base unit. In such ideal conditions the telephones range can be up to 300 metres.
In densly populated areas, houses, apartments, etc. the range will be reduced.
Try to get the best range by relocating base unit, the ideal location is a highand
unobstructed place.
Out of range warning
If the handset is carried to far from the base unit during a call, the sound quality
will deteriorate and a warning tone will be heard. Unless the handset is moved
closer to the base unit within a few seconds the call will be cut off.
