Getting started
Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your Colombo in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Location
You need to place your Colombo base within 2 metres
of the mains power socket and telephone socket so
that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your
Colombo works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends
on where you site the base. Putting it as high as
possible ensures the best signal.
Handset range
The Colombo has a range of 300 metres outdoors
when there is a clear line of sight between the base
and handset. Any obstruction between the base and
handset will reduce the range signifi cantly. With the
base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors,
the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick
stone walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates when you are
in range. When out of range of the base, the screen
shows SEARCHING the icon fl ashes and the
handset gives an out-of-range warning tone every
minute. This tone is repeated until you move back
into range.
If you move out of range during a call, the telephone
call will be disconnected. Move back within range
before you make any further calls. The handset will
automatically re-connect to the base.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at
all times. Do not plug the telephone line cord into the wall
socket until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power
and telephone cables supplied with the product.
Which power adaptor?
The power adaptor with a clear connector is for the
base unit and the power adaptor with a red colour
connector is for the charger unit (multi-packs only).
Connecting up the base
Plug the mains power cable with clear connector into
the socket marked
on the underside of the base
and plug the other end into the mains power wall
socket and switch the power on.
Connecting the handset
1. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into
the handset. Then slide the compartment cover
into place.
2. Place the handset on the base to charge for at
least 24 hours. Making sure it is the right
way around. When the handset is fully charged
the
icon will indicate this.
3. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord from
the base into the telephone wall socket.
Colombo UG.indd Sec1:6Colombo UG.indd Sec1:6 24/7/08 17:27:0224/7/08 17:27:02

Getting started
Connecting multipacks
If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process
will need to be carried out for all handsets and
chargers
1. Plug the mains power cable with the red
connector into the socket marked
on the
underside of the charger.
Battery low warning
If the icon fl ashes in the display, you will need to
recharge the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the
icon in the display will scroll.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give
about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time
on a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until
they have been in normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the
handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week
will help them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will
reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset
less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to
be replaced.
Batteries and handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.
Date and time
Providing you have subscribed to your network’s Caller
Display service, the date and time is set automatically
for all handsets every time a call is received.
If you do not subscribe to the Caller Display service
you can set the date and time manually.
Set date and time manually
1. Press ‘menu/ok’ and scroll to CLOCK/
ALARM. Press ‘menu/ok’. Display shows DATE
& TIME, then press ‘menu/ok’.
2. Enter the date using the format DD-MM e.g.
04-08 for 4th August.
3. Press ‘menu/ok’ and enter the time using the
24 hour format HH-MM, e.g. 14-45 for 2.45pm.
4. Press ‘menu/ok’ to confi rm or
to return
to standby.
Your Colombo is now ready for use.
