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.

Interference Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interfer-

ence that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-

ence will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.

• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving

antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television tech-

nician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How

To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing

Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds

of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because

radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the receiver. This is usually only

a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equip-

ment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

For hand held operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines. Use of other acces-

sories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
