Installation
Belt Clips
A belt clip is included, which can be tted on the back of the handset. To attach
the clip, align the two edges with the indents on either side of the handset and
press rmly into place.
Battery
The telephone comes supplied with an environmentally friendly nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) battery. 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 battery pack should be replaced.
A fully charged battery will last for approx. 5 days in standby or approx. 8 hours
talk time. These operation times apply at normal room temperature.
Recharging of a run-down battery takes about 14 hours.
Please note that the battery charge indicator in the handset display ashes while
charging and will stop when the battery is fully charged.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the battery
from being overcharged or damaged due to prolonged charging.
Please note!
When the telephone is installed for the rst time, the battery must be charged for 14 hours
before using the telephone.
Use only DORO original batteries. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by
incorrect batteries.
The handset is charged with the buttons facing upward.

Installation
Battery Charge Indicator
The symbol | in the display indicates whether it is time to recharge the
battery. The symbol has three segments which disappear as the battery charge
decreases. When the battery charge has reduced, the symbol ] is shown in
the display and warning signals are heard. If the handset is not recharged at this
time, the phone will cease to function until it is recharged.
Range
The range of the telephone varies depending on various factors in the
surrounding environment. The radio waves transmitting the call may be
hindered by obstructions, reducing the range.
Specied ranges require an unobstructed transmission between the handset and
the base unit. In such ideal circumstances, the telephone range can be up to
300 meters. In a densely populated area, house, apartment, etc. the range of the
telephone will be reduced. Try to get the best range by relocating the base unit.
The ideal location for the base unit is a high and unobstructed place.
Out of range warning
If the handset is too far from the base, the message OUT OF RANGE will be
shown on the display. Move the handset closer to the base unit within a few
seconds or the call will be lost.
Headset
The handset can be used with an optional headset via the socket on the side.
When using a headset, there is no change in the way a call is received or made.
When a headset is connected, the microphone and speakers of the handset are
automatically disconnected.
