Safety information

This equipment is not designed for making emergency
telephone calls when the power fails. Alternative
arrangements should be made for access to emergency
services.

This product may be used legally only in a country where the appropriate authority
has given its specific authorisation. This authorisation appears on a label under
the base station.
The marking on the product certifies its conformity to the technical regulations
for user safety and electromagnetic disturbance which were applicable on the date
of approval in accordance with European Union directive No. N°73/23/EEC,
89/336/EEC, 91/263/EEC and 93/68/EEC.

Power requirements

This product requires an electrical supply of 220-240 volts, alternating
monophased current, excluding IT installations defined in standard EN 60-950.

Warning!

The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the
standard EN60-950.
The only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power cable from the
electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical outlet is located close to the apparatus and
is always easily accessible.
To be able to make calls in the event of a power cut, it is recommended that this
telephone be used as a complement to another telephone which does not require
mains power.

Telephone connection:

The voltage on the network is classified as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network
Voltages, as defined in the standard EN 60-950)

Safety precautions:

Do not allow the handset to come into contact with water.

•

Do not open the handset or the base station. This could expose you to high

•

voltages. Contact our after-sales service for all repairs.
Do not allow the charging contacts or the battery to come into contact with

•

conductive materials such as keys, paper clips, rings, bracelets, etc.
Make sure you insert the batteries with their polarities in the correct position

•

(see page 6).

Installing your Onis

Connecting your phone

Deciding where to put the base station

To reduce to a minimum any interference with other electronic devices such as

•

telephones, televisions, screens, etc. we advise you to place your base station at
least 50 cm from any such device.

Place the base station on a flat surface such as a desk.

•

Do not install the base station in a damp or humid room.

•

Do not place the base station near a strong source of heat.

•

The operating range of your cordless telephone will vary according to your
environment. Significant obstacles such as concrete walls or metallic supports
(windows and door frames, partitions, etc.) will lessen the communication range
between the base station and the handset.

The range can be improved by placing the base station higher than the handset.

Connecting the base station

Make sure that you connect the power plug to the correct mains voltage of
220-240V.

1 Step one

Plug the power cable
into the base station
and then into the wall
outlet.

2 Step two

Plug the telephone
cable into the base
station and then into
the telephone
connector on the wall.

Caller identification

Your Onis Memo is equipped to receive the telephone number of your callers from
the telephone network. In order to use the functions associated with caller
identification you must subscribe to the caller identification service provided by
your telephone operating company.

When your telephone rings, your handset(s) will display your caller’s number if it is
available from the telephone network. If your caller’s number is stored in the
handset Phonebook with an associated name, this name will be displayed instead
of the number.

Caller list functions

Your Onis can store the identification of up to 20 calls unanswered by the
handset(s). Each entry in the caller list contains:
