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.
This icon will
blink when
handset is out
of range
INSTALLATION
15
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. (*)
Connect the line cord plug to the line socket on the base.
Connect the other end of the line cord to the PTT socket. (**)
Install the rechargeable batteries in the handset. The handset
requires two 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 MyDECT100TM base.
(*) Classified “hazardous voltage” according to EN60950 standard
(**) Classified TNV-3 according to EN60950 standard.
INSTALLATION
16
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.
INSTALLATION
17
On/Off Settings
When the handset is placed on the charger it automatically
switches on. Alternatively, press for about 5 seconds. The
telephone will enter subscription mode in which the handset is
searching for a registered base.
On successfully finding a base, the LCD window will display the
time (either set by yourself – see Handset Settings – Set Date &
Time or it will be set automatically when you receive a call
provided that you subscribe to a Caller ID service) and the
handset number. The telephone is now in standby mode and is
ready for use.
To turn the handset off, press for about 5 seconds again.
The LCD display will then switch off.
