USINGYOURXC631PLUS

Registering your Handset for first time use

After the Handset has been fully charged, the Handset MUST be placed
on to the main

before first time use.
The Handset will not work with the Base Unit until it has been

registered.

Digital Security Code
ManyCordless telephones operate similarly and on the same
frequency. Withoutdigital code security, some one elses Handset could
make calls using your Base Unit and telephone line. Therefore, to help
prevent any unauthorised calls through your Base Unit, a Digital Code
feature has been added to your XC631Plus.
The code is randomly selected from over 65,000 combinations. The
code is automatically set when you first place the Handset on to the
Base Unit.Before using for the first time you MUSTplace the
new Handset onto the original Base Unitto register it as an additional

Handset.

Once the Base Unit has transfered the security code to the new
Handset it can be used to make and receive calls on the same
Base Unit.

The additional ChargingBase (smaller size) has been supplied for you
to conveniently locate and re-charge the additional Handset. This
ChargingBase does not connect to a telephone line and it does not
assign the security code as explained above.
