INSTALLATION (HANDSET)
Location
Ensure you situate the telephone close enough to the power
socket so that the cable will reach safely without stretching. Also,
the mains power needs to be easily accessible in case you need
to disconnect the power.
Make sure the telephone is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical products e.g.TV, radio and monitors so as to avoid
interference. Also, avoid direct heat and sunlight.
We advise you to place the telephone on a table cloth or similar,
as the rubber feet on the base can mark some surfaces
Handset Range
The telephone has a range of 30-50 metres indoors and up to 300
metres outdoors. The range will be reduced when there is no
clear line of sight between the base and handset. Place the base
as high as practically possible to ensure the best signal between
the base and the handset. The icon at the top left of the
LCD display will blink and the signal strength bars will disappear
to warn you if you have moved out of range of the base. You will
need to move closer to the base station as the telephone line
might be disconnected and the handset will return to standby.
Setting Up
Plug the power cable into the power socket on the base. Plug
the adaptor end of the power cable into the mains supply and
switch the supply on. (*)
To AC wall outlet
18
INSTALLATION (HANDSET)
Install the rechargeable batteries in the handset. The handset
requires three Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AAA batteries.
These are supplied with your telephone. Slide the battery cover
in the direction of the arrow and pull it out. Check the battery
polarity diagrams on the handset when inserting the batteries. Fit
the battery cover by sliding the cover on to the back of the
handset until it snaps shut.
Place the handset on the base, a short beep will be heard. The
battery symbol will be displayed on the handset. Once the
handset is fully charged, the display will show a full battery symbol.

The telephone has an automatic charging control to avoid
excessive charging.
Before the handset can be used, the handset batteries must
be charged for a minimum of 15 hours on the AMPLIDECTTM
COMBI355 base.
(*) Classified “hazardous voltage” according to EN60950 standard
(**) Classified TNV-3 according to EN60950 standard.
19
INSTALLATION (HANDSET)
Battery Use
The icon is continuously displayed at the top right corner of
the LCD display. The icon indicates the level of battery power.
The more bars displayed, the more power available.
When the battery is too weak for the telephone to operate, the
handset will automatically switch off. Place the handset on the
base to charge the handset battery. Under ideal conditions, the
handset battery should give about 6 hours talktime or 150 hours
standby on a single charge.
Handset Carrying Clip
The handset carrying clip allows you to carry the handset on your
belt or short pocket. If you want to remove the clip, insert a
screw driver along the edge of one of the arms and release the
clip. Lift the clip off.
20
INSTALLATION (BASE)
Setting Up
Connect one end of the curly cord to the handset. The other end
of the curly cord plugs into the jack on the left hand side of the
AMPLIDECTTM COMBI355. Place the handset on the cradle.
Connect the line cord to the socket located at rear of telephone
then connect the plug into the wall socket **.
Connect the power adaptor to the jack located at the rear of the
telephone then plug the other end into a 13amp wall socket (*).
Please choose a socket near your telephone to enable you to
unplug the mains power quickly in case of a problem.
(*) Classified “hazardous voltage” according to EN60950 standard
(**) Classified TNV-3 according to EN60950 standard.
Wall Mounting
Slide the handset hanger tab out and reverse its position (rotate it
180 degrees). Slide it back into place so that the hook points up
(see diagram 1). This will keep the handset from falling out of the
cradle when it is mounted on the wall.
Knock two self-tapping screws (not supplied) into a wall at a
distance of 80 mm from each other and placed in a vertical line.
Place the phone onto the screw-heads and slide down to secure
(see diagram 2).

ADDITIONAL HANDSETS & BASES
The handset that came with your base is already registered to the
base (factory setting). This is registered as handset 1. Each
additional handset you purchase must be registered to the base.
Up to 5 handsets can be registered to one base unit. This means
you can make internal calls between registered handsets, transfer
an incoming call between handsets and answer a call anywhere in
the office/home at any time as all the handsets will call at the
same time.
You can also register up to 4 base units to each handset. This
will increase the phone range, allowing you to move between the
telephone coverage areas.
Register a new Handset
Before registering a handset to the base, you should press and
hold the key on the front panel of the base for about 5
