Safety information

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 at the
back of 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°91/263/EEC.

Power requirements

This product requires an electrical supply of 230 volts, alternating monophased
current, excluding IT installations defined in standard EN 60-950.

Warning!

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

The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the
standard EN 60-950.

The only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power cable from the
electrical outlet. Make sure the electrical outlet is located close to the apparatus
and is always easily accessible.

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 this 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

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 other electronic 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.

Note:

Your Xalio Vox can be adapted for a wall installation using a wall mounting bracket
available from your local Philips dealer.

Connecting the base station

Make sure that you connect the power plug to the correct mains voltage of 230 V.

Note:

You can connect a Philips battery backup unit between your telephone and the
power supply. Please refer to the instructions for use of this accessory.

2 Step two

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

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

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

Your Xalio Vox has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of 1.0 . To determine the
maximum number of telephones that can be connected to your line, add together
the individual RENs of all the apparatus you wish to connect. If this total exceeds
four, one or all of your telephones may not ring correctly.

Charging your handset

Your handset is powered by a rechargeable battery.

Before you use your telephone for the first time, charge the handset for at
least 12 hours.

This precaution helps to lengthen the life of the battery.

To charge your handset, place it on the base station. The

b

symbol will appear

on the display to indicate that the handset is charging.

When the

b

symbol disappears, your handset is fully charged.

The base station must be connected to a power supply using the power cable
