Radio signals
between handset
and base unit

iDECT Help Line(for UK only): 0845 345 9677 (Local Call rate)

The base unit and charger pod(s) should be placed on a level
surface, in a position where:

the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible 230-VAC
switched mains supply socket - never try to lengthen the
mains power cable.

the base unit's telephone line cable will reach your telephone
line socket or extension socket (the charger 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.

NOTE: if the base comes into contact with liquids, disconnect

it promptly and use a soft cloth to dry it; if you believe that the
liquid has seeped into the unit, do not reconnect the base
station. Contact the IDECT Helpline. Follow the same
procedure for your handset and remove the internal batteries.

it is not close to other electrical equipment - fridges,
washing machines, microwave ovens, fluorescent lights,
televisions etc.

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

Signal range between the handset and the base station is in
accordance with the approved standard for DECT phones:

Maximum range: 300 metres outdoors.

Maximum range: 50 metres indoor.

The signal range could become lower during normal use. Any
large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet,
metallic doors or reinforced concrete, between the handset and
base unit may block the radio signal. The signal strength may
also be reduced by other solid structures, like walls, or by
other radio or electrical interference.

3

For stronger radio signal, it is recommended that your telephone
is at the highest possible position. If there is no radio signal
reception, Base 1 message and the signal level icon will flash
on the display.

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

"Out of range"
warning

Mains power
connection

Battery safety

If you have a
Broadband line

call, this is probably caused by interference between the handset
and the base unit, perhaps because you are too near to another
phone or other electrical equipment.

Move to a different position to clear the interference. If you do not
move, it might cause a short break or your call may be cut off.

If you hear a warning tone during a call, and the sound in the
earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you may be going out of
range of the base unit.

Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the
warning tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.

IMPORTANT - The iDECT X3i base unit must be used with
the mains adapter supplied with the unit.
Using any other adapter will result in non-compliance with
EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

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

cause damage to your telephone.

If you connect your telephone to
a line with a broadband
connection, you will need to
insert a micro-filter between
the telephone and the 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
micro-filter connected, not just the one at the telephone point
that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband
micro-filters, contact your broadband supplier.

Installation and Set-up

1 Choose a suitable site

for the base unit
(see page 3).

2 Connect the mains

power lead and the
telephone line cord
into the base unit.

Plug one end of the
telephone line cord into
the socket on the back of
the base. Use the telephone
line cord supplied with your
iDECT X3i - other line cords
may not work with this phone.

3 Plug the mains adaptor into your wall

socket. If you have one or more charger
pods, plug in the mains adaptors
accordingly.

Make sure that the 230VAC, 50hz mains socket is switched OFF
when you plug the mains adapter into the socket. Switch it ON only
when you have the adaptor plugged in safely.

5

Before you use the handset for the first time, it is important that you charge
the batteries fully. You will hear a 'beep' when the handset is correctly
