Installing the telephone base

Given the length of the cable, you must install the telephone base no more than 2 meters from an electrical
outlet and a telephone wall jack. The telephone base should also 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 out of range. Your should then get closer to the telephone base to turn off this indicator.

Installing and charging the batteries

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.
