3 Getting started

3.1Connect the base station

1Place the base station in a central location near the telephone line socket and electricity socket.

2Connect the line cord and the power cable to their corresponding connectors at the back of the base station.

3Connect the other end of the line cord and power cable to their respective sockets.

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.

3.2Install 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.

2The battery icon on the display blinks during charge.

3The battery icon becomes steady when the handset is fully
