Installation
Where to install the DectGem
Please read the safe ty precautions given at the end of this
Guide.
Your DectGem is intended for use indoors.
Note: Although the handset may be taken outside dur ing dry
weather, the basestation must remain indoors at all
times.
Choose a location that is:
•away from other electronic equipment (such as computers, televisions, video recorders)
•away from heat sources (such as radiators, air ducts,
sunlight)
•away from excessive mo isture (suc h as a bat hroom, near
a kitchen sink or by an open window),
•away from extremely low temperatures, dust or shock
Location can affect signal range. In general, the higher the
basestation is lo cated, th e bett er the signal. Fo r best o utdoor
reception, install th e basestation at wind ow height in a room
near the outdoor area.
The indoor range is up to 30m, depending on the construction of the building; for example, use of steel or solid walls
or floors may limit the range. The outdoor range is up to
300m.
Installing the basestation
Connection sockets are located on the back of the basestation. The right-hand socketis for mains power. The lefthand socketis for the telephone connection.
To connect the basestation:

Changing dialling mode temporarily
If your DectGem operates using pulse dialling, it may be

Note: Thebutton can also be used to change the dialling
mode temporarily. This usage is de scrib ed in t he hi nt
following the instructions for setting the Default dialling mode.
Changing tone duration temporarily
The length of tones generated by DectGem is fixed during
manufacture. In most circumstance s this duratio n is sufficient. If you experience problems accessing your telephone
banking services (for example), you could try varying the
length of the tones during the call.
This facility can be used whether your DectGem operates
using DTMF or pulse dialling.
Dialling a pause
