1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (XP1050)
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the
following:
1) Read and understand all the instructions.
2) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3) Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4) Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bathtub, kitchen
sink, swimming pool).
5) Do not expose the telephone to direct sunlight or extreme cold
environment. Do not put the telephone close to a heating source such as
radiators, cookers, etc.
6) Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the
risk of fire or electric shock.
7) NEVER use your phone outdoors during a thunderstorm-unplug the base
from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are storms in
your area.
8) Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
9) Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries! The operation’s
periods for the handsets are only applicable with the default battery
capacities.
10) The use of other battery types or non-rechargeable batteries/primary cells
can be dangerous. These may cause interference and/or unit damages.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage arising from such noncompliance.
11) Do not use third party chargers. The batteries may be damaged.
12) Dispose of batteries safely. Do not immerse them in water, burn them, or put them where they could
get punctured.

1.2. Location
For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you should consider when
you place the base unit,
- place it at a convenient, high, and central location with no obstructions
between the handset and base unit in an indoor environment.
- place it away from electronic appliances such as televisions, microwave
ovens, radios, personal computers, wireless devices or other cordless
phones.
- avoid facing radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of
mobile phone cell stations.
- avoid plugging it into the same circuit as other major household electrical
appliances because of the potential for interference. Try moving the
appliance or the base unit to another power outlet.
If the reception for a base unit location is not satisfactory, move it to another
location for better reception.
Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural
factors, the range may be reduced. The range indoors is normally less than
outdoors

2. INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
2.1. Installing and Charging the Batteries
1) Slide down to open the battery compartment cover.
2) Place the 2 supplied rechargeable batteries as indicated. Pay extra
attention to direction of polarity.
3) Slide the battery compartment cover back.
4) Put the handset on the base and charge for 15 hours before using the
handset for the first time. The handset will give a beep when it is properly
placed on the base or charger.
Notes:
1) Use only the supplied NiMH rechargeable battery cells.
2) If the handset will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the
Battery pack to prevent possible leakage.

2.2. Connecting the Base Station
1) Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the telephone jack on base
bottom.
2) Plug the small end of power adapter into a power jack on base bottom.
3) Plug the large end of power adapter into a wall power outlet.
4) Plug the other end of the telephone line cord into the telephone jack or
micro-filter.
5) Always use the cables provided in the box.
If you have broadband service, a micro-filter (not included) is required.
2.3. Connecting the Charger(s) (for Duo/Trio models)
Plug the power adapter into a mains socket.
If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you will
need to insert a micro-filter between the telephone and the telephone line,
otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband,
which could cause problems.
In a fixed with broadband, every telephone must have a micro-filter connected,
not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you
need more broadband micro-filters, contact your broadband supplier.
