3 Getting started

3.1 Connect the base station

1 Place the base station in a central

location near the telephone line socket and electricity socket.

2 Connect the line cord and the

power cable to their corresponding connectors at the back of the base station.

3 Connect 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.

War nin g

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.

War nin g

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.

3.2 Install your phone

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

War nin g

When the batteries are inserted for the first time, the unit will not be able to start normally due to the low battery. You must charge the batteries on the

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

2 The battery icon on the

display blinks during charge.

3 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 you reach the range limit the conversation may become crackly. Move closer to the base.

3.2.2 Charge battery

Warnin g

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
