DESCRIPTION

Cordless telephones operate on the same principle as a two-way radio. The location
of the base station determines the range of operation. In most homes, maximum
range is obtained by locating the base station at the highest point in the house.

The base station operates from a 230 volt AC electrical outlet. Connect the base
station to a telephone line by simply plugging it into a standard telephone jack. The
handset is powered by a heavy-duty rechargeable battery.

n

CAUTION

Charge the both handsets before using the cordless
phone for the first time. Do not attempt to use the phone
before charging the battery pack for a full 10 hours.

the handset in the base station cradle or the charger and charge it for 10 hours. It is

not necessary to turn the POWER switch off after initial charging.

Note

● The handset battery can be recharged and reused many times.

● Repeated recharging for a shorter period may reduce the battery time.

● If the handset battery fails (the BAIT. LOW indicator flashes) even after being

charged for 10 hours, replace it with a new Sanyo cordless telephone battery,
type 3N-270AA (See page 20).

Security code

The security code system prevents other cordless phone users in your neighbourhood
from interfering with the operation of your unit, by assigning a same code to both
handset and base station. Since the security code of this telephone was selected from

1,000,000 different codes, it is virtually impossible to find any other cordless telephone
having the same code as yours. However, if you wish to set your own security code,
follow the steps below.

Technical Information

Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the

performance of your unit.

1.NOISE

Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most
intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise.

Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse

noise through the handset. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be
interpreted as a defect of the unit.

2.RANGE

Because radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the
operating range of the unit. Try several locations and choose the one that gives the
clearest signal to the handset. (Turning in a circle while holding the handset may also

increase the operating range.)

3.1NTERFERENCE

Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the unit to your telephone line. These
electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection

circuits are

used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these

unwanted signals enter the base station. You may hear click or hear the relay activate

when you are not using the cordless handset. Ifthis occurs frequently, you can minimize

or eliminate the problem by lowering the height of the base station or relocating the
base station. It may also be helpful to change the operating channel ancflorthe security

code setting.
