4 PACKAGE CONTENT
The package contains the following items:
•1 Handset
•1 Base station
•1 Mains power adapter
•1 Telephone line cord
•2 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries
•User’s manual
5 HANDSET & BASE CONNECTION
•When purchased, all handsets are already registered to the
base unit and should link to it when they are all powered up.
•To use your cordless handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. The signal
between the handset and the base unit is in accordance with
the normal standards for a DECT phone: Maximum range up
to 300 metres outdoors or 50 metres indoors. Be aware that:
>Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, mirrors
or filing cabinets, between the handset and the
base unit may block the radio signal.
>Solid structures, such as walls, may reduce the signal strength.
>Electrical equipment may cause interference
and/or affect the range.
•Do not place the base unit close to another telephone,
TV or audio equipment - it may cause interference.
•Putting the base unit as high as possible ensures the best signal.
•If the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted during a call,
you may be going out of range of the base unit. Move nearer to the
base unit within 20 seconds; otherwise the line may be cut off.

6 INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
4.1 Connecting the Base Station (See P5)
•Plug the mains power cable and telephone line cord into the base
station.

Warning: Always use the cables provided in the box. Use only the
supplied adaptor. Using other power adapter may damage the unit.
Note: Place the base unit within easy reach of the mains power socket.
Never try to lengthen the mains power cable. The base station needs
mains power for normal operation and the cordless handsets will not
work without it.
6.1 Installing and Charging the Rechargeable Batteries(see P3)

observing the correct polarity (see markings inside battery
compartment).

the handset for the first time.
>The handset will give a double beep when it is properly
placed on the base and the battery charging indicator
on the base lights up to indicate charging.
NOTE
The handset may become warm when the batteries are being charged
or during prolonged periods of use. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
