Please read carefully and keep these instructions with the product

Important

• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, always observe the following basic precautions when using 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.

• Avoid interposing any metal objects (clip, key, etc.) between the battery contacts and charging contacts.

• Your telephone may have a slight chance of being damaged by lightning. Unplug the telephone base from the

mains and disconnect the telephone line during a thunderstorm.

• Do not use the telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.

• Do not use the handset near any intensive care medical equipment. People with pacemakers should consult

their doctor or cardiologist before using this telephone.

• 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.

Adapter for the telephone base: Input: 100-240V~ 50Hz 200mA Output: DC 7.5 300mA

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.

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

Replace the batteries if necessary. The batteries and the handset will become hot during charging. This is normal.
