your telephone:

• This appliance is intended for indoor use only.

• Observe all markings on the product.

• Do not expose your telephone to moisture and avoid contact with liquids.

• To prevent electric shock, do not disassemble the handset or the telephone base.

• Clean your telephone with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents, especially
aggressive ones.

• Exchanges between the telephone base and handset being carried out by radio signals, wearers of hearing
aids may be bothered by a small buzz.

• Your telephone may interfere with other electrical appliances such as answering machine, television, radio,
clock radio or computer when it is sufficiently close to such equipment. To avoid this, place the telephone base
at least one meter away from other electrical appliances.

• We do not guarantee privacy of communications through your telephone.

• The receiver of the handset may attract small metal objects (staples, pins, etc). Be careful when placing the

handset near these items.

• Your telephone does not work in case of power failure and by consequence cannot be used for emergency
calls. To avoid such inconvenience, always keep a traditional corded telephone in your home.

• To prevent electric shock, do not use your telephone during a thunderstorm. Refer to the information printed on
your telephone directory.

• You can connect this product to a PSTN telephone line or an analog PBX extension port. Warning: Connecting
this telephone to a digital PBX extension port may cause damage.

• Install your telephone close to an easily accessible electrical outlet.

• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this may cause a fire or electric shock.

• To eliminate any voltage within the telephone, unplug the power cord from the mains.

• If the telephone will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the adapter to save power.

• If the power cord of the adapter is damaged, do not try to replace or repair it. Discard the adapter.

• Observe the polarity indicated while installing the batteries.

• It is dangerous to use other battery types or non-rechargeable batteries: they can cause interference and/or

damage to the product. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages caused by such non-compliance.

• Do not use a charger other than the one supplied with the telephone; otherwise the batteries can be damaged.

• Do not immerse a battery in water and do not throw it in a fire.

Installing the telephone base

The telephone base should be placed at least 1 meter away from other electrical appliances in order to avoid
interference. The handset exchanges radio signals with the telephone base. The strength of these signals
depends on the position of the base. You can obtain a stronger signal by placing the base higher.

Operating range of the handset

The operating range of your telephone is 300 meters outdoors without obstructions between the
telephone base and handset. Obstructions reduce the operating range. When the telephone base is
located indoors, while the handset is indoors or outdoors, the operating range is reduced to 50 meters.
Thick concrete walls reduce the operating range significantly.

Signal strength

When the handset is within the operating range of the telephone base, appears on the screen.
flashes when the handset is out of range. Get closer to the telephone base to turn off this indicator.

Installing and charging the battery

1. Insert the plug of the supplied adapter to the back of the telephone base and the other end into an
electrical outlet.

2. Plug the telephone line cord to the back of the telephone base and the other end into a telephone wall
jack.

3. Insert the rechargeable Ni-MH batteries supplied into the handset by following the correct polarity as
indicated. Close the battery compartment.

4. Place the handset on the telephone base and let the batteries charge for 24 hours before using it for the
first time.

Low battery warning

When the batteries are very low, flashes on the handset screen and a warning beep will sound
every minute to prompt you to recharge the batteries.

Battery performance

When fully charged, the batteries offer approximately 12 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby time
under ideal conditions. Please note that a new battery reaches its full capacity after several days of normal
use.
The battery capacity decreases over time, reducing the talk time and standby time. Replace the batteries if
necessary.
The batteries and the handset will become hot during charging. This is normal.

Tip

When you are not using your handset, place it on the charger so that you can always have fully charged
batteries.

WARNING

DO NOT USE STANDARD OR ALKALINE BATTERIES. THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY.
ONLY USE RECHARGEABLE NI-MH BATTERIES AS INDICATED IN THIS USER MANUAL.

Risk of explosion if you use incompatible batteries.
Never use non-rechargeable batteries. Use only batteries that are identical to the ones supplied with

your telephone.

• Never use alkaline or lithium batteries.

• Do not throw a battery into a fire.

• Do not open or damage batteries. Electrolyte is corrosive and can cause irritation to eyes and skin.

It is also toxic and must not be swallowed.

• If you must handle the batteries, avoid them from coming into contact with metal objects. This may
cause short circuit or overheating and you may burn yourself.

• Do not attempt to recharge the batteries by heating. The battery electrolyte may leak, and may
irritate your eyes or skin.

• Observe the polarity indicated. Reversing the polarity of the battery may result in electrolyte
leakage and explosion.

• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use your phone for several months.

• Do not use any other telephone base for charging the handset – the batteries can be damaged.

Warning: Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly installed.
Use only NiMH batteries. The autonomy for the handsets indicated is based on the original capacity of the
batteries.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions of your local authorities.
