For Best Performance

Battery Charge

A rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery powers the handset. Charge the battery for about 8 hours before initial use (p. 11).

•Clean the handset and the base unit charge contacts with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or high humidity. Otherwise the

battery may not charge properly.

Base Unit Location/Noise

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:

Note:

While using the handset:

•If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from the receiver or the speaker. 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.

Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, cellular phone, charging units or another cordless phone.

In a high and central location, preferably where there are no

obstructions. 

Raise the antennas.

The battery is beneath this cover.

For best performance, extend the handset antenna fully.

•If the antenna is not fully extended, maximum operating range will not be achieved.

Extend until the antenna locks into position.

$The directory icon displays when viewing the directory items (p. 40).

Standby mode:

While the handset is off the base unit, the handset goes into the standby mode after you ﬁnish using it (making/answering a call, viewing the Caller List or directory list etc.). During standby mode, the display is blank, but the handset can receive calls. The battery operating time is conserved in this mode. While the handset is on the base unit, the battery icon and the number of new Caller ID calls are displayed in the standby mode (p. 25).

Backlit LCD Displays

Both the handset and the base unit have a backlit LCD display. Each display will light when the handset or the base unit is used, and when a call is received. The handset display light will stay on for about 10 seconds after pressing a button or lifting the handset off the base unit. The base unit display light will go out after use. You can change the backlight colour to orange for certain callers if their details are stored in the directory (p. 35).
