If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband
connection, you will need to insert a microfilter between
the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may
get interference between the telephone and the
broadband, which could 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.
The base telephone and charger pod(s) should be placed
on a level surface, in a position where:
nthe mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible
230-V AC switched mains supply socket - never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
nthe 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)
nit is not close to another telephone — this can cause
radio interference
nit is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere
else where it might get wet.
if the base comes into contact with liquids,
disconnect from the mains power and the telephone
line and use a soft cloth to dry it;
if you believe that the liquid has seeped into the unit,

Connection and conditions for use:
You can connect this phone to a direct exchange line
(DEL) or to an approved compatible private exchange
(PBX). Do not connect the Big Button Combo as an
extension to a payphone.
The ringer equivalence number (REN) of all instruments
(phones, fax machines, modems, 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 Big Button Combo REN=1, and most other
telephones have a REN=1 unless otherwise marked.

To use your cordless handset and base unit (part of the
base telephone) together, you must be able to establish a
radio link between them. Be aware that:
nany large metal objects, like a refrigerator, a mirror,
filing cabinet etc, between the handset and the base
unit may block the radio signal.
nother solid structures, like walls, may reduce the
signal strength.

If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
while on a call, this is probably caused by interference
between the cordless 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, it might cause a short break or your
call may be cut off.
If you hear a warning tone during a call on your cordless
handset, and 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
warning tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.
IMPORTANT - the Big Button Combo base telephone
and charger pod must be used with the mains adapters
supplied with them. Using any other adapter will result
in non-compliance with EN60950, and will invalidate
any approval given to this.
