base station in a central

Note

The line adaptor may not be attached to the line cord. In this case, you have to connect the line adaptor to the line cord first before plugging the line cord to the line socket.

Warning

Avoid placing the base station too close to large metal objects such as filing cabinets, radiators or electrical appliances. This can impair the range and sound quality. Buildings with thick internal and external walls may impair transmission of signals to and from the base.

Warning

The base station does not have an ON/OFF switch. Power is applied when the power adaptor is plugged into the unit and connected to the electricity socket. The only way to power down the unit is to unplug the power adaptor from the electricity socket. Therefore, ensure that the electricity socket is easily accessible. The power adaptor and telephone line cord have to be connected correctly, as incorrect connection could damage the unit. Always use the telephone line cord supplied with the unit. Otherwise, you may not get a dial tone.

Connect the other end of the line

cord and power cable to their respective sockets.

Getting started 11

3.2 Install your phone

Before using the handset, the batteries have to be installed and fully charged.

Warning

When the batteries are inserted for the first time, the word INITIAL will be displayed on the handset. The unit will not be able to start normally due to the low battery. Charge your handset for a few minutes before it can start normally.

Page 14

3.2.1 Install battery

Warning

Always use AAA rechargeable batteries supplied with your unit. There could be risk of battery leakage if you use alkaline batteries or other battery types.

Slide out the battery cover.

Place the batteries in the correct

polarity as indicated and replace the cover.

The battery icon on the display

blinks during charge. The battery icon becomes

steady when the handset is fully charged.

Note

Optimal battery life is reached after 3 cycles of complete charging (over 15 hours) and discharging, allowing approximately 12 hours of talk-time and 150 hours of stand-by time. The indoor and outdoor range of the phone is up to 50 metres and 300 metres respectively. When the handset moves beyond the operation range, the antenna icon will blink.

Tip

When reaching the range limit and the conversation becomes crackly, move closer to the base.

3.2.2 Charge battery

Warning

The handset must be charged for at least 24 hours before using it for the first time. When the battery level becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you by sounding an audible tone and blinking the battery icon. If the battery level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off shortly after the alert and any function in progress will not be saved.

Place the handset on the charging cradle

of the base station. A beep is emitted if the handset is placed correctly.

3.3 Welcome mode

Before you first use your handset, you need to configure it according to the country of use. After charging it for a few minutes, the word WELCOME appears in various languages. Follow these steps to configure your phone:
