Safety precautions
Please observe the following safety precautions when setting up and using your ThermoDECT
telephone.
• Do not use your ThermoDECT phone in or near water. Using your telephone with wet hands,
while standing in water, or in wet conditions (such as in the rain) can damage the unit and cause
injury from electric shock.
• If the base unit falls into the water, do not attempt to retrieve it until you have unplugged the
power source. Pull the unit out by its cord. Never reach into the water to retrieve the unit.
• Never use your ThermoDECT telephone out-of-doors during a thunderstorm. Unplug the base
unit from the telephone line and power source when there are severe storms in your area.
Damage caused by lightening is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not attempt to open or modify your telephone.
SETTING UP YOUR TELEPHONE
Unpacking the telephone
When you unpack your ThermoDECT phone, make sure to keep all the packing materials in a safe
place, in case you need to later transport the phone or return it for servicing.
In the box, you will find:
• The ThermoDECT phone base unit
• The ThermoDECT phone cordless handset
• Two rechargeable batteries for the handset
• A 220-volt AC power cord
• A telephone line
• An attachable belt clip for the handset
• A remote temperature sensor
• Two regular batteries for the remote sensor
Remote unit set up
Up to 3 remote units can be used with this product to monitor outdoor temperature. The measurement unit
(°C or °F) and channel number (1, 2, or 3) switches are located in the battery compartment, and should be
set prior to installation.
Note: • Additional remote units sold separately. If you are using more than one remote unit, be sure
to select a different channel number for each unit.
• When you set a channel, don't forget to keep track of that sensor's location.
Installation
Mount the remote unit on a flat surface using the recess hole on the back of
the unit.
For best results:
• Before you insert the batteries, select the measurement unit and
channel number first.
• Place the unit out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the remote unit more than 20 – 30 meters (66 – 98 feet) from the main
(indoor) unit.
• Position the unit so that it faces the main (indoor) unit. Minimize obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
Note: • For initial sensor search bring the remote sensor to a distance no less than 10 meters (33 feet)
from the base.
• You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best reception after the sensor
search has been completed.

Choosing a location for the base unit
When selecting a location for your base unit, observe the following guidelines:
• Choose a location that provides easy access to a 220-volt AC power source. Never try to
lengthen the power cord. Use an appropriate AC power cord for your local power supply.
• Choose a location that will allow the telephone cable to reach a telephone jack. You can use an
extension jack or cable if necessary.
• Place the base unit as high as possible to obtain the maximum radio frequency range with the
handset. You may need to try several locations – such as upstairs, or near a first-floor landing –
to find the best range. Solid structures such as walls and doors may reduce the signal strength.
• Do not place the base unit near the sink, bathtub, or shower.
• Do not place the base unit near objects that may cause radio interference, such as another
telephone, large metal objects such a mirror or filing cabinet, or electrical appliance such as an
electric stove, washing machine, microwave oven, television, and fluorescent lights.
• Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight.
• The indoor temperature reading displayed is the temperature recorded at the base unit.
Connecting the base unit
To set up the base unit:
1.Plug the small end of the telephone cord
into the telephone socket located at the
back of the base unit, as shown in the
diagram to the right.
2.Plug the other end of the telephone cord
into the telephone wall socket.
3.Plug the small end of the AC power cord into the power socket located at the back of the base unit.
4.Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a nearby AC wall socket.
Installing the handset batteries
Your ThermoDECT telephone is shipped with two rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AAA
size). To install the batteries:
1.Open the battery compartment located at the back of the handset unit.
2.Insert the batteries as shown in the diagram to the right, matching
positive (+) polarity to positive, and negative (-) polarity to negative.
Note: Reversing the polarity may damage the handset.
3.Replace the battery compartment by sliding it in the direction shown by the
arrow in the diagram to the right. The lid clicks into place when it is secure.
Charging the handset batteries
You must charge the handset batter ies for 15 hours the first time you use them.
The battery icon on the handset display becomes progressively empty as the batteries become low.
When the batteries are fully charged, the icon looks full and dark, as shown here
. When the icon
appears empty as shown here
or if you hear the warning beep during a call, please:
• End the call as soon as possible.
• Don’t use the speakerphone mode since this consumes more energy than the normal talk mode.
• Put the handset back on the base unit for charging until the battery icon returns to high level.
To charge the handset, put it back in the base cradle with the keypad facing outwards. The blue
CHARGE light on the base unit steadily lights to indicate that the handset is charging. When the battery
indicator appears full, and the charge light goes off, the batteries are fully charged.
