BATTERIES SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid any risk of explosion:
Make sure you have inserted the batteries correctly. Use only with 2.4 V 400mAh type or equivalent rechargeable battery. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local code for possible special disposal instructions. Do not burn, disassemble, mutilate or puncture. Like other battery of this type, toxic materials
could be released which can cause injury.
To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the battery listed in the user’s guide. Keep battery out of the reach of children. Remove battery if storing over 30 days.
GENERAL PRODUCT CARE
To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for
example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture. Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone. Clean with a soft cloth. Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish. Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.
Changing the battery
Make sure the telephone is OFF before you replace battery.
1. Remove the battery compartment door.
2. Remove old battery.
3. Insert the new battery.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Causes of poor reception:
Aluminium siding. Foil backing on insulation. Heating ducts and other metal construction can shield radio signals. You are too close to appliances such as microwaves, stoves, computers, etc. Atmospheric conditions, such as strong storms. Base installed in the basement or lower floor of the house. Handset battery is low. You are out of range of the base.
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
No display
Make sure the battery is properly installed and connected. Place the handset on the charger and fully charge the battery (at least 15 hours).
Handset does not ring
Make sure the RINGER setting on the handset is programmed to ON. You may have added too many handsets to your phone line. Try disconnecting
some of your phones and try again.
Not possible to make a call despite dial tone
Check that your handset is within range and move close to the base unit
(approximately 50 meters indoors and up to 300 meters in open space).
Check if the base unit is plugged into a wall socket that is shared with other
household appliances. Unplug other device and try again.
