1 Environment and safety
Safety information: This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. An alternative should be made available for access to emergency calling.
Power requirements: The product requires an electrical supply of 120 volts, single phase alternating current, excluding IT installations defined in standard UL 60950.
Battery requirements: The handset requires power source of two rechargeable NiMH batteries, size AAA 1.2V 650mAh (HR11/45).
WARNING! The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the standard UL 60950. The only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power supply from the electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical outlet is located close to the apparatus and is always easily accessible.
Telephone connection: The voltage on the network is classified as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network Voltages, as defined in the standard UL 60950). Following a power cut, the call in progress is lost.
CAUTION: Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Environmental care: Please remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old phone and where possible promote their recycling.
Because the phone works by sending radio signals between the base unit and the handset, wearers of hearing aids may experience interference in the form of a humming noise. We advise that this phone should not be used near intensive care medical equipment, nor by persons with pacemakers. 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 meter from such appliances.

2 Setting up your phone
Installing your DECT 221/225
1. Connect the output plug of the base adapter to the adapter socket on the back of the base unit, connect the base adapter to the wall AC supply. A beep indicates that the phone is properly plugged (DECT 225 only).
2. Connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket on the back of the base unit and to the wall phone socket.
Note: To use this phone, you need an RJ11C (CA11A) type modular
telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
3. If you have bought a multi-pack product, each extra handset includes a charger and a charger adapter. Connect the output plug of the charger adapter to the adapter socket on the bottom of the charger. Connect the charger adapter to the wall AC supply.
4. Place 2 rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries (included), in correct polarities, into the battery compartment on the handset.
Note: the warranty shall not apply to the batteries and any
other components within lifetime and wear.
5. Slide the battery door firmly into place.
6. Place the handset on the base unit or the charger and let the batteries continuously charge for 24 hours before using. A beep indicates that the handset is properly placed on the base unit or the charger. The handset may take some time to power up. It may get warm during the initial charge. This is normal.
Charging the handset
An empty battery icon indicates the batteries need recharging. To recharge, place the handset on the base unit. To recharge, place the handset on the base unit or the charger. A handset reaching a very low battery voltage level will go into sleep mode, displaying LOW BATT on the screen. Get into the habit of putting the handset on the base unit or the charger to charge when it is not in use. This will ensure the handset is always fully charged.
Digital security system
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to
your phone line. There is a unique digital security code programmed in each unit. When the base and the handset is
powered up the first time, the handset automatically registers with the base ready for normal use.
NOTE : If more than one handset is registered with the base, registration may take approximately one minute.
