DORO X100 INSTALLATION

LOCATING THE BASE UNIT

It is essential to the overall range and performance that the base unit and handset can
receive and transmit good radio signals.

Place the base unit close to: - a telephone network socket

- a 13 Amp mains socket

The best location is in an upstairs room and central to the area to be covered. If you
experience poor range, try re-siting the base unit .

# Do not locate in: direct sunlight, damp or high humidity locations.
# Do not locate close to: electrical equipment such as TV’s, computers, fridges,

etc., or close to radiators, metal pipes or window frames.

WALL MOUNTING

Use the template supplied to mark the position of three holes on a wall. Drill the holes (check
for hidden pipes, etc). Use the raw plug and screws provided, ensuring approximately 4 mm
remain between the wall and the head of the screw. Connect the bracket to the rear of the base
unit and place the complete assembly above the screws and gently push it down onto the screws.

CHARGING THE HANDSET BATTERIES

From new, the batteries must be charged for 8 hours without interruption.

1. CONNECT the power adaptor to: - the rear of the base unit

2. REMOVE the battery cover from the bottom of the handset by applying gentle

pressure to the top of the cover and pushing away from the handset. Insert the
batteries (supplied) observing correct polarity. Replace the battery cover. The

display will show: DORO X100 and the battery and range indicators.

3. PLACE the handset onto the base unit (face up or down) and SWITCH mains

power ON. The base unit will beep and the red LED will illuminate.

4. LEAVE for 8 hours. When the handset batteries are fully charged the red

LED on the base unit will flash. If the handset has been placed face up, the battery
symbol will be present on the display when the batteries are fully charged.

5. CONNECT the telephone line to: - the rear of the base unit

- a telephone network socket.

6

HANDSET BATTERY CARE

AFTER INITIAL CHARGING the power adaptor must remain connected to the mains
& base unit and mains power switched on. It is recommended that the handset is left
on charge overnight to ensure maximum in-use time. The batteries should hold their
charge for 60 hours, depending on use.

IF THE PHONE IS NOT TO BE USED for a substantial period of time, i.e. holidays,
disconnect the mains power adaptor, when power is reconnected it will be necessary

to recharge the handset for 8 hours.

TO MAINTAIN OPTIMUM CONDITION, allow the batteries to charge fully every 4

months approximately for 8 hours. The batteries will need replacing if: there are
signs of leakage, the batteries will not hold a charge for more than two hours.

The rechargeable batteries (NiMh) are cadmium-free and should be disposed of in a
responsible and environmentally friendly manner.

Note: When the handset batteries are fully charged, the handset may feel warm.
This is normal.

IMPORTANT!

From new, the batteries (supplied) must be charged for 8 hours without interruption.
You can obtain your replacement batteries from:
Consumer Support Department, Doro Audioline Ltd, 22 Walkers Road, North Moons
Moat, Redditch, Worcestershire, B98 9HE. Price available on request:
Telephone [phone].
The guarantee will be invalid if any problems arise as a result of the use of an
incorrectly specified battery.

HANDSET BATTERY INDICATOR

nearly empty the indicator will begin to flash and a warning tone will be heard.

the display). If you dial an incorrect digit, use the button to erase it.

can be that the handset is to far from the base unit or that all transmission channels
are occupied. Retry after a short while.

RANGE WARNING

If you are on a call and accidentally walk out of range of the base unit, the sound
quality in the earpiece will de-grade, warning beeps will be heard and the range
indicator will flash. Note: On the fringe of the range the range indicator may be
present on the display, but it is not possible to make or receive calls.
The range can be affected by obstacles, which partially reflect and partially absorb
the radio waves. Additional base units can be added in order to achieve better range.
The range stated in this user guide is based upon an area completely free of
obstructions between the handset and the base unit.

CALL TIMER

The length of outgoing and incoming calls will be displayed on the display
approximately 10 seconds after a call is connected.

ANSWERING INCOMING CALLS

When an external call is received, the base unit will ring first and the in-use LED
will flash.

# To take the call, press and release the button when the handset rings. When

a phone call is received the handset symbol will appear on the display. The ringer
sound can be changed to personal preferences (see page 17).

To finish the call either replace the handset on the base unit or press the
button. The handset can also be programmed to connect with a call automatically
when lifted off the base unit, if required (see page 20).

A belt clip is mounted on the rear of the product. Using the clip the handset can be
attached to belt, trouser waist band, etc. This clip cannot be disconnected.

HEADSET SOCKET

The DORO X100 can be used with a suitable headset. The handset has a headset
socket on its left hand side, above the display. Answering or making a call with a
headset is done in the same way as without one. When the headset is connected the
microphone of the handset is muted automatically.

HANDSET ON/OFF-BUTTON

The silver on/off button is used to switch the handset on or off. When the handset
is switched off, battery power is conserved, but calls cannot be made or received.
The handset is best left switched on, i.e. it does not have to be switched off at night.
However, it is recommended that the handset is switched off if it is not going to be
used for a long period, such as a holiday. If the handset batteries are expired the
handset will be switched off automatically.

To switch off: press & hold the button until a beep is heard, then release.
To switch on: press & hold the button until the handset beeps, then release or

replace the handset on the base unit.

DO NOT DISTURB

If you receive an incoming call, but do not want to be disturbed - press and release
the button. The handset ringer will be switched off. The ringer will be
re-instated automatically when a new call is received. Note: The base ringer will
continue to ring.

LAST NUMBER REDIAL

The last ten numbers dialled are stored automatically in the memory. One or all of
the numbers can be re-dialled individually as required.
