Safety information
General
Only use the power supply unit
included with the product. Using
an unauthorised power supply
will invalidate your warranty
and may damage the telephone.
The item number for the power
supply unit is 872264.
Radio signals transmitted
between the handset and base
may cause interference to
some hearing aids.
Do not dismantle the handset
or base station. This could
expose you to high voltages or
other risks. Contact the
helpline for repairs.
Never dispose of batteries in a
fire. There is a serious risk of
explosion and/or the release of
highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and
base station with a damp (not
wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe.
Never use household polish as
this will damage the product.
Never use a dry cloth as this
may cause a static shock.
Environmental
Do not expose to direct
sunlight.
The product may heat up
when the batteries are being
recharged. This is normal.
However, to avoid damage we
recommend that you do not
place the product on
antique/veneered wood.
Do not expose your product to
fire, explosive or other
hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance that
your phone could be damaged
by an electrical storm. We
recommend that you unplug the
power and telephone line cord
for the duration of the storm.

2Connect the base unit
power supply unit to a
power socket
The power supply unit must remain
plugged in all the time.

Quartet 1100 User Guide – Edition 5 – 17.8.00
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Quarter 1100 ready for use.
Plan the location
Situate your Quartet 1100 close
enough to the mains power socket
and telephone socket so that the
cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical products to
avoid interference.
Do not situate the product in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Your Quartet 1100 works by sending
and receiving radio signals between
the base unit and the handset.
The strength of the signal depends
on where you site the base unit and
how the aerial is deployed.
The higher the base unit is located,
the better. An upstairs room is ideal.
Your product can be wall mounted,
for more information see page 26.
