Getting to know your telephone keypad

Thank you for purchasing either the A110 or the C110 DECT telephone.

It complies with the Digital enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Standard and offers superior clarity and many technologically advanced features as well as an answering system on the C110.

It is possible to use up to 5 Handsets with each A110/C110 Base station. Each handset may be linked with up to 4 different bases, to build up a comprehensive cordless DECT telephone system.

Setting up your telephone

The Base Station is supplied with one handset preregistered. The base can accept up to 5 handset registrations. When more than one handset is registered to a base INTERCOM (handset to handset) communication is possible. When 3 or more handsets are registered, two can be one an intercom call with the third on an external call.

Locating the Base Station.

The position in which you place the base station can have a significant effect upon the range and performance of your A110/C110 DECT telephone.

Observe the following points:

•

The base must be near to both a telephone socket and a mains electricity socket.

•Avoid placing base too close to large metal objects like filing cabinets, radiators or electrical appliances. This can impair the range.

•The power of the signal depends on the position of the base. The higher the base, the better. An upstairs room near to the centre of the house is preferred.

Buildings with thick internal and external walls of stone or granite may impair the transmission of the signals to and from the base.

Plug the lead from the adapter into the requisite socket on the Base Unit. Plug the power adapter into a convenient 13 AMP power socket. Turn on the mains power. The Base is now ready to receive the handset with batteries for charging.

Charge for at least 16 hours BEFORE you attempt to connect your telephone to the telephone line.

Setting up your telephone

Handset batteries

Before you can use your A110/C110 DECT Telephone, the handset batteries have to be installed and fully charged. To do this the base station must be connected to the mains electricity supply using the power adapter supplied.

Installing the Handset batteries

The handset is powered by two AA size NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries. Install these into the handset ensuring you observe correct polarity (the position of the +ve and -ve poles is marked on the case) and fit the battery compartment door. Use only Vtech approved rechargeable batteries. Failure to do so could result in batteries exploding whilst being charged.

Place the handset on the base and leave until the handset batteries are fully charged or for at least 16 hours.
