Important
• Avoid exposure of this telephone to moisture or liquid.
• To prevent electric shock, do not open the handset or base cabinet.
• Avoid metallic contact (e.g. metal clips, keys) between the
battery contacts and charging conductors.
• There is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by
an electrical storm. It is recommended that users unplug the phone
from the mains supply and telephone socket during a storm.
• Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as
where there is gas leaking.
• Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of your
packing materials, exhausted batteries and used phone.
Wherever possible, recycle those materials.
• This phone should not be used near intensive care medical
equipment. Persons with pacemakers should consult their
Doctor or cardiologist before using this phone.
• Clean with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents,
particularly aggressive solvents.
• Because the phone works by sending radio signals between
base station and handset, wearers of hearing aids may
experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
• Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as
answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radios and
computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you
position the base unit at least one metre from such appliances.
• This telephone complies with applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves (EMR). The mean power of this telephone
does not exceed 20mW limit at which point testing is required.
• Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using
this telephone.
• The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects
such as staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing
the handset near these items.
• This telephone is not designed for making emergency
telephone calls when the mains power fails. Always have a
corded phone available to be able to make and receive calls to
emergency services if the mains power fails.
• Do not use your telephone during an electrical storm
thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric shock. Refer to
information contained in White pages directory.
This phone is designed for connection to a PSTN telephone line or an
•

5 GETTING STARTED
Location
You need to place your Slim 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 unit 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 Slim 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. With the
base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will
normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete 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
ashes and the handset gives an out-of-range warning tone every
minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.
Installation and Charger
1. Connect the mains adaptor (supplied) to the socket on the
back of the base unit and to the wall mains supply.
2. Connect the telephone cord to the phone socket on the back of
the base unit and into the wall phone socket.
3. Insert 2 rechargeable Ni-MH AAA batteries (included),
observing the correct polarity, into the battery compartment on
the handset. Slide the battery door rmly into place.
4. Place the handset on the charging cradle and charge the
batteries for a full 14 hours before using it for the rst time.
Select your Country
After the phone is fully charged you will need to select your country.

Battery low warning
If the icon ashes in the display, you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again. During charging, the
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.
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.
Tip!
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the charging cradle when it is
not in use to ensure that the handset is always fully charged.
WARNING
DO NOT USE STANDARD/ALKALINE BATTERIES IN THIS PRODUCT, AS THERE
IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR INJURY. USE ONLY Ni-MH RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE. CONTACT ORICOM FOR
REPLACEMENT BATTERIES.
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
Never use non-rechargeable batteries. Use recommended type supplied with
this product.
• Never use alkaline or lithium batteries.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a re, as they can explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
can cause damage to the eyes or skin. It can be toxic if swallowed.
• Avoid contact with metal objects when handling the battery. These objects
could short out the batteries or cause the conductor to overheat resulting
in burns.
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery cell by heating it. Sudden release of
battery electrolyte can cause burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.
• Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any battery. Reverse insertion
of the battery cell can result in leakage or explosion.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the product for several
months at a time.
• Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packing
materials, exhausted batteries and used phone. Wherever possible, recycle
those materials.
