Setting up

Follow these simple steps to prepare your phone(s) ready for use.

Finding a location

Connecting your phone

Make sure your phone is:

• Within 1.8 metres of a power and phone socket so that the cords will reach.

• At least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances, to avoid interference.

• Not located in humid or damp conditions, e.g. in a bathroom.

1 Connect the base power supply into the socket

on the back of the base. Plug the other end into the mains power socket.

Connect the power supply attached to each charger into the mains and switch on.

On each charger (multi-packs only):

WARNING

Use only the power supply that came with your phone.

Using another power supply could seriously damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.

Do not connect the telephone line cord until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the batteries are charged. Answering the phone before the batteries are fully charged may prevent them from reaching their optimum capacity.

[4]

Preparing the handsets

Battery Performance

Installing and charging the handset batteries.

Remove the battery compartment cover. Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide the cover off. Connect the supplied batteries with the correct polarity. Slide the battery cover back until it clicks securely into place.

2 To charge the batteries, place the handset(s) on

the base or on a charger. The charging light in the base illuminates. The symbol scrolls until the handset is fully charged. If the charging light does not come on, reposition the handset in the base or charger, ensuring that the charging points contact. You must charge each handset for 15-20 hours before use.

The handset may become warm during charging, this is normal. On a single charge your handset will give 10 hours talk time and 7 days standby time.

New NiMH batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in use for several days.

Over time, as the batteries wear out, the charge capacity will reduce, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset.

Eventually the batteries will need to be replaced.

On each handset:

WARNING

BATTERY LOW WARNING

Under no circumstances should nonrechargeable batteries be used. Only use the supplied battery pack or you will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

If the symbol is displayed on the handset or if you hear the low battery tone, you will need to recharge your handset. Note: If you set the "Battery Low" tone to off, the low battery tone will not sound. We recommend that you place the handset back on the base/charger between use to ensure that it is always fully charged.
