Connection and conditions for use
You can connect your Symphony
a line connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an
extension socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an
approved compatible PBX. Do not connect the Symphony
extension to a payphone.
The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones,
fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to
more than 4 — otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or
answer calls correctly. The Symphony
other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Choosing a site
for the base
unit and
charger pod
The base unit and charger pod(s) should be placed on a
level surface, in a position where:
■the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible
230-V AC switched mains supply socket — never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
■the base unit’s telephone line cable will reach your
telephone line socket or extension socket (the charger
pod does not have a telephone line connection)
■it is not close to another telephone — this can cause
radio interference
■it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere
else where it might get wet
■it is not close to other electrical equipment — fridges,
washing machines, microwave ovens, fluorescent
lights, TVs etc.
!If you’re using the SMS text messaging facility,
please note that only one SMS phone connected to
the line can receive messages. So you shouldn’t
connect another SMS-compatible phone to the same
line as your Symphony
Radio signals
between
handset and
base unit
To use your handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. Be
aware that:
■Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror
or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the
base unit may block the radio signal.
■Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the
signal strength.
Mains power
connection IMPORTANT — The Symphony charger pod must be used with the mains adapter
supplied with the unit. Using any other adapter will
result in non-compliance with EN60950, and will
invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

When you don’t need to use the
handset (for example, overnight or
when you go out), replace it on the
base unit or charger pod, to keep the
batteries charged.
Whenever the battery charge level
symbol shows ‘nearly empty’( ),
place the handset on the base unit or
charger pod to charge the batteries.
Before you use the handset for the first time,
it’s important to charge the batteries fully.
The handset ‘beeps’ when it’s correctly in
position on the charging cradle.
Leave the handset on the charging cradle
for 15 hours.

If you have a Broadband line
If you connet your telephone to a line with broadband connection,
you will need to insert a microfilter(not included) between the
telephone and telephone line,otherwise you may get interference
between the telephone and the broadband,whichcould cause
problems.
In a home with broadband,every telephone must have a microfilter
connected,not just the one at the telephone point that your modem
is connected to.If you need more broadband microfilters,contact
your broadband supplier.

Before you start
Electrical
safety ■DON’T let the base unit or charger pod get wet. Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used
while you are wet or standing in water.
■If the base unit or charger pod ever falls into water,
DON’T retrieve it until you have unplugged the power
lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from
the telephone socket (base unit only); then pull it out by
the unplugged cables.
■NEVER use your Symphony outdoors during a
thunderstorm — unplug the base unit from the
telephone line and the mains socket when there are
storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not
covered by the guarantee.
Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
while on a call, this is probably caused by interference
between the handset and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone or other
electrical equipment.
Move to a different position to clear the interference.
If you do not move, your call may be cut off.
!Radio interference in the environment may occasionally
cause a short break in the link between the handset
and the base unit while you are on a call. The handset’s
display may briefly show until the link
is restored.
‘Out of range’
warning If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you
may be going out of range of the base unit. Move
nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the
tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.

making calls, including emergency calls.
■When the handset is switched off, it won’t ring for
