Recharge
When the RECHARGE indicator flashes or the
unit beeps intermittently, place the handset on
the base unit to recharge the battery for 6 hours.
•If you DO NOT recharge the handset battery
for more than 15 minutes, the RECHARGE
indicator will continue to flash.

While using the handset:
— If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may
be heard at the receiver. Move away from the microwave oven
and closer to the base unit.
— If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset
is near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard.
Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit and closer
to your base unit.
6-A Battery
Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using wireless
radio waves. For maximum distance and noise free operation, the
recommended base unit location is:
RECHARGE
Indicator
In a HIGH and CENTRAL location
with no obstructions such as walls.
Away from electrical appliances
such as a TV, personal computer

only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum
conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of
the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty.
Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in
all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different
make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all
of Telecom’s network services.
WARNING NOTICE:
No “111” or other calls can be made from this device during a mains

described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.
2) When left unused for a long period of time, the base unit should be
unplugged from the household AC outlet.
3) To minimize the possibility of lightning damage when you know that a
thunderstorm is coming, we recommend that you:
a) Unplug the telephone line cord from the phone jack.
b) Unplug the power supply cord from the AC power outlet.
Installations
Environment

washbowl, sink, etc. Damp environments should also be avoided.
2) The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators,
kitchen range, etc. It also should not be placed in rooms where the
temperature is less than 5°C or greater than 40°C.
3) The AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device, ensure that the
AC outlet is located/installed near the unit and is easily accessible.

spilled into, the unit. Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke, dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.
3) Place the unit on a flat surface.
For best performance
1) If noise prevents the conversation from being understood at the handset,
approach the base unit to lessen the noise.
2) The handset should be used at the HIGH volume setting when the
reception audio is difficult to hear.
3) The handset should be fully recharged on the base unit when the
RECHARGE indicator flashes.
4) The handset antenna should not be touched during use because of its
high sensitivity.
5) The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the unit is used
in the following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels,
undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THE BASE
UNIT TO LIQUID OR ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE. ONLY THE HANDSET

When a failure occurs which results in the internal parts becoming
accessible, disconnect AC adaptor immediately and return this unit to the
place of purchase or service centre.
If there is any trouble, disconnect the unit from the telephone line and
connect a known working phone. If the known working phone operates
properly, do not reconnect the unit to the telephone line until the fault has
been repaired. If the known working phone does not operate properly,
consult your telephone company.
