Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your SD8101 to a direct exchange line (DEL), a line connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an extension socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not connect the SD8101 as an extension to a payphone.

How many phones can you connect?

The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to more than 4, otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly. The SD8101 has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1unless marked otherwise.

Radio signals between handset and base unit

To use your handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link between them. Be aware that:

• Sitting the base unit as high as possible will give better results, in a two-storey house, the best position may be on the first-floor landing.

• Any large metal object, like a fridge, a mirror or a filing cabinet, between the handset and base unit may block the radio signal.

• Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the signal strength.

Choosing a site for the base unit

The base unit should be placed on a level surface, in a position where:

• The mains adapter plug will reach a 230-V AC switched mains supply socket; never try to lengthen the mains power cable.

• The telephone cable will reach your telephone line socket or

extension socket.

•

It is not close to another telephone, this can cause radio interference.

• It is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else where it

might get wet.

It is not close to other electrical equipment, fridges, washing

•

machines, microwave ovens, TVs, fluorescent lights, etc.

Important safety information

This equipment is not designed for making emergency calls in the event of a power failure. Alternative arrangements should be made for access to emergency services. (This means that you should also have a basic phone that does not need mains power, connected to your line so that you can make calls during a power failure)

People with a heart pacemaker should consult their doctor before using the telephone.

If you wear a hearing aid, you should note SD8101 works by transmitting radio waves between base and handset that may cause a humming noise.

1. DO NOT clean any part of your phone with benzene, thinner or other solvent chemicals, which may cause permanent damage to your phone. This damage is not covered by the Guarantee. When necessary, clean it with a damp cloth. Cleaning it with a wet cloth may give you an electric shock.

2. DO NOT use this equipment in places where volatile or explosive materials may be present.

3. DO NOT let the base unit get wet. Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are wet or standing in water. NEVER use your phone during a thunderstorm. Unplug the base unit from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the Guarantee.

4. The SD8101 will produce a certain amount of heat during operation. For this reason it is recommended that this equipment is NOT placed in direct contact with antique, veneered or delicate furniture surfaces.

5. DO NOT dispose batteries with normal household waste.

6. The SD8101 DECT phone emits radio signals which could interfere with other electronic equipment, computers, radio, TV set, clock radio alarms, etc. A distance of at least one meter should be maintained between SD8101 base station and other equipment. This will minimize the risk of such interference.

7. When you do not need to carry your handsets around, leave them on the base unit or charger pod, to keep the batteries charged.

8. If you hear a warning tone as move around during a call, and/ or the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted; you may be going out of range of the base unit. Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the tone stops. Otherwise your call may be cut off.
