Read First Before Use

Choosing a site
for the base unit
and charger pod

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.

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

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 away from hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight.

Radio signals
between handset
and base unit

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.

4

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

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.

"Out of range"
warning

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 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.

Mains power
connection

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.

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

Battery safety

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 have a
Broadband line

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

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.

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.

line; otherwise you may get interference
between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause
problems.

Troubleshooting

ALWAYS check
first that:

You have followed all the steps listed on page 5 to
install and set up your iDECT X3i.

All connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets.

Mains power to the base unit is switched on at the
socket.

The handset's batteries are correctly and securely
installed and are not run down.

Everyday use

"The handset does
not switch on."

Check the connection of the batteries as they are
probably flat or not inserted properly and charge the
handset on the base station.

"The handset
switches on but
cannot be
connected to the
base station."

Check the connection of the power supply unit of the
base unit.

Verify that the network socket where the power supply
unit is plugged in received voltage.

Repeat the handset registration procedure as described
on page 24.

"I cannot make or
answer calls."

If the handset's display is blank. It may be switched off.
Press the HANG UP button for five seconds to switch it
back on.

Check that the base unit's mains power adapter is
plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit
needs mains power for normal operation of the phone not
just for charging the batteries.

Make sure you are using the telephone line cable
supplied with your iDECT X3i. Other telephone line cables
might not work.

Move the handset closer to the base unit.

Check the battery Level symbol on the display. If it is low,
replace the handset on the base unit or charger pod to
recharge the batteries.

Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a few seconds
and then switch back on. This may solve the problem.

47

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

"I cannot make a
call."

"When I press keys,
nothing happens."

Make sure the batteries are fitted in your handset. If the
Battery Level symbol on the display shows 'low', put your
handset back on the cradle for it to charge.

"When I key in a
number, it appears
on the display, but I
can not make an
outside call."

Try a different position for the base unit somewhere
higher if possible, or further from other electrical
equipment.

Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

"The phone does
not ring."

Check that the base unit's mains power adapter is
plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit
needs mains power for normal operation of the phone not
just for charging the batteries.

Make sure you are using the telephone line cable that
was supplied with your iDECT X3i. Other telephone line
cables might not work.

The handset's keypad may be locked. Unlock it before
you make a call.

Only one handset (or the base unit) can be connected to
the outside line at once. If another handset is already
using the line, you need to wait until it's finished its call.

"My call was cut off
when I went out of
range. Now I can't
use my handset."

Move the handset closer to the base unit before you try
again to make a call.

"There is
interference and
noise on the line."

Move the handset closer to the base unit, or to a different
position.

Try moving the base unit so that it's not near other
electrical equipment, such as a television or a computer.

You'll get the best sound if you place the base unit as
high as possible. For example, in a two-storey house,
the first-floor landing is an ideal place.

"I hear 'beeps' from
my handset while
I'm on a call."

You may be going out of range of the base unit. Move
closer or your call may be cut off.

Check the Battery Level symbol on the display. If it's low,
recharge the batteries.

48

"The Caller Display
feature isn't
working."

"When I try to make
a call, I hear Busy
tone."

If you're using a iDECT X3i multi-handset system, check
another handsets whether or not they are already on a
call.

"The volume in the
earpiece is low
when I'm on a call."

Make sure you're holding the earpiece correctly over your
ear.

Adjust the volume using the UP /DOWN button.

You need to subscribe to the Caller Display feature from
your network service provider. You should find contact
details on your phone bill.

The caller may have withheld their number by dialling

141. Or they may be calling from a network that does not
transmit the caller's number (e.g. it may be an
international call.)

Intercom and transfer

"I can't transfer a
call."

Make sure the other handset is in range of the base unit.

Make sure you are dialling the correct number for the
other handset.

Batteries

"The handset is not
functioning even
after charging for 8
hours."

Remove the batteries from the handset and wait for a few
seconds before replacing them. If the problem persists,
replace the batteries.

"The handset's
battery pack is
running low within
an hour or two."

Before you first use the handset, you should have left it on
the base unit or charger pod for 24 hours to charge the
batteries fully.

You may need to replace the batteries.

Check the connection between the base unit and the
mains power socket.

49

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

"I try to recharge
the batteries but I
still get a warning
that they are low."

Do not use non-rechargeable batteries in your iDECT
X3i they may burst, causing damage.

You need to replace the batteries. To find out how to
obtain replacements call the iDECT Helpline on 0845
345 9677 from 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday (UK

put them where they could get punctured.

If the fault persists...

Disconnect all other instruments connected to the
same line as the iDECT X3i and try to make a call.

Disconnect the base unit from the telephone line and
plug a different hone into the master telephone socket.
Try making a call. If this works, the line is OK.

If the call does not work, and you are using a two-way
socket adapter, remove it and plug a telephone directly
into the socket. If the call now works, the adapter may be
faulty.

If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on the
exchange line. Contact the service provider (the BT
engineers on 151 for UK only, or your cable company).

If you still cannot identify the cause of the problem,
contact the iDECT Helpline on 0845 345 9677 (UK only).
