CONTENTS

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 calls.
Power requirements: The product requires an electrical supply of 220-240 volts, single phase alternating current, excluding IT installations dened in standard EN 60950.
Battery requirements: The handset requires power source of two rechargeable NiMH batteries, size AAA 1.2V 650mAh (HR10/44).
WARNING! The electrical network is classied as dangerous according to criteria in the standard EN 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 classied as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network Voltages, as dened in the standard EN 60950). Following a power cut, the call in progress is lost.
Safety precautions:
• Do not allow the handset to come into contact with liquids or moisture.
• Do not open the handset, base station or charger. This could expose you to high voltages.
• Do not allow the charging contacts or the battery to come into contact with conductive materials.
• There is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by an electrical storm. It is recommended that
users unplug the phone from the mains supply and telephone socket during a storm.
• Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as where there is gas leaking.
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 or 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.
CAUTION
Use only the mains adapter supplied with this telephone. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously damage the unit.
Base adapter Charger adapter
Input: 230 VAC 50 Hz Input: 230 VAC 50 Hz Output: 9 VDC 500 mA (DECT 225xx) Output: 9 VDC 150 mA Output: 9 VDC 300 mA (DECT 221xx)
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. Never use non­rechargeable batteries; use recommended type supplied with this telephone. NiMH batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable waste disposal regulations.
Hereby, Philips declares that the DECT 221xx and the DECT 225xx are in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. This product can only be connected to the analogue telephone network of the country indicated on the sticker located under the base station.

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 and the base adapter to the wall mains 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.
3. If you have bought a multi-pack product, each extra handset comes with 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 mains 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 rmly 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 and it may get warm during the initial charge. This is normal.

Charging the handset

An empty battery icon indicates the batteries need recharging. Place the handset on the base unit or the charger to recharge the batteries. 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 to ensure the handset is always fully charged.

SETTING UP YOUR PHONE

Registering your handset

You will need to register your handset if it shows NOT REG in the display or if you wish to un-register from its original base and register the handset to a different base unit. You can register up to 4 handsets to your DECT 221 base station and up to 5 handsets to your DECT 225 base station.
To register your handset:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Select SETTINGS and press the OK key.
3. Select REGISTER and press the OK key.
4. Before you enter the PIN, press and hold the PAGING key on the base for 4 seconds until a registration tone is emitted (DECT 225 only). The base is now in the registration mode. (If the base is
full and cannot take on any more handset, it will emit a reject tone instead (DECT 225 only) and you will not be able to register any more handset. See Section 9 - Un-registering a handset - to delete a currently registered handset.)
5. Enter the PIN of the base and press the OK key.
During the registration period, you will see SEARCHNG on the handset.
You will hear a conrmation tone if the registration is successful. The handset label and the handset number will be displayed. If the registration is not successful, the previously unregistered handset will display NOT REG again and the previously registered handset will connect back to its original base again. Follow the procedure and try again.
