Read First Before Use

Choosing a location for the base unit and charging pod

Radio signals between the handset and base unit

Connections and conditions for use

The base unit and charging pod(s) should be placed on a level surface and in a location where:

■ the mains adapter plug can easily reach the 230-V AC

mains supply socket - never try to lengthen the mains power cable

■ the telephone cable of the base unit can reach the

telephone wall socket or extension socket (the charging pod does not have a telephone line connection)

■ it is not close to another telephone - this can cause radio

interference

■ it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else

where it might get wet

■ it is not close to other electrical equipment - fridge,

washing machine, microwave oven, fluorescent lights, television, etc.

■ it is away from hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight

To use your handset and base unit, you must be able to establish and maintain a radio link between them. Be aware that any large metal objects, like a refrigerator, a mirror, filing cabinet, etc, between the handset and the base unit may block the radio signal. Other solid structures, like walls, may also reduce the signal strength.

You can connect your iDECT C5i to a direct exchange line

— a line connected to a local exchange, with its own

(DEL) phone number; to an extension socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not connect the iDECT C5i as an extension to a payphone. The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to more than 4 them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly. The iDECT C5i has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

— otherwise, one or more of

Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around when on

a call, this is probably caused by interference between the handset and the base unit. Perhaps you are too near to another phone or other electrical equipment. Move to a different position to clear the interference. Otherwise, it might cause a short break or your call may be disconnected.

Mains power connection

Battery safety CAUTION

If you have a Broadband line

IMPORTANT - The base unit and charging pod must be

used with the power adapters supplied with the unit. Using any other adapters will result in non-compliance with

EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to this equipment.

ONLY use the rechargeable batteries supplied with the handset. DO NOT use non-rechargeable batteries - they may explode

and cause damage to your telephone.

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED

DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING

If you connect your telephone to a line with broadband connection, you will need to insert a microfilter (not included) between the telephone and telephone line, otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems.

In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a microfilter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband microfilters, contact your broadband supplier.

CAUTION

BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

Installation and Set-up

Install rechargeable batteries into the handset

Install the two Ni-MH, AAA size, rechargeable batteries into the handset in

accordance with the polarity markings in the battery compartment.

Close the battery compartment cover by sliding it into place and pressing firmly to

make sure that it is secure.

Connecting the mains power supply

Plug the base power cord into the power jack at the bottom of the base unit and

connect the other end to a 100-240Vac 50-60Hz electrical outlet.

Plug the telephone line cord into the phone jack at the bottom of the base unit

and connect the other end to a telephone wall socket.

Connect the charger adaptor to a 100-240Vac 50-60Hz electrical outlet.

Notes:

• Before you use the cordless handset for the first time, it is important to charge

the batteries fully.

• Leave the handset on the charging cradle for 15 hours.

• The battery charge icon will scroll when you are charging the battery.

• If the icon is not showing the correct battery charge level, first verify that the

handset is correctly placed in the charging cradle. If it is placed correctly, try to remove and re-install the batteries. Please note that it is normal for the mains adaptor to become warm - this does not indicate a fault.

CAUTION: Use only the power adaptors that are supplied with this unit. Using

other power adaptors may damage the unit.
