Set up your phone system
Location
Place the base unit near a mains socket and a telephone wall jack
to ensure that the connection cables are long enough. Keep the
unit approx. 1 m away from other electronic devices to prevent
interference. The base unit uses radio signals to connect with the
cordless handset. Signal strength depends on the base unit's
location. The maximum range is 300 m based on an
unobstructed line of sight; the range is shorter inside buildings
because of walls and other obstacles.
Connect the base unit
1. Plug the connector on the cable end into the corresponding
jack on the rear side of the base and plug the power adaptor
into the wall socket.
2. Plug the small connector on the end of the telephone line cord
into the corresponding jack on the base and plug the other
end into the telephone jack.
Note: Guide the power adapter cable through the strain-relief tab
on the base.

Connect the charger
1. Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket.
