Important note — emergency calls
The DECT 1905 must be registered to a base series
(DECT 1915 or DECT1955) before use and
designed for making emergency calls when the mains
power fails. So you should make alternative
arrangements 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.)

connection
The charger pod(s) should be placed on a level surface,
in a position where:
the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible
■
240-V
AC switched mains supply socket — never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
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, fluorescent
lights, TVs etc.
To use your handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. Be
aware that:
■
Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror
or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the
base unit may block the radio signal.
■
Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the
signal strength.
IMPORTANT — The DECT 1905 charger pod must be
used with the mains adapter supplied with the unit.
Using any other adapter will invalidate any approval
given to this apparatus.
