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.

Note: The button 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.
