Introduction

Quartet 1500 User Guide ~ 3rd Edition ~ 27th November ’01 ~ 4197
General
Only use the power supply
unit included with the product.
Using an unauthorised power
supply unit will invalidate your
guarantee 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 open the handset or
base station (other than to
change the handset batteries).
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.
Do not stand your product on
carpets or other surfaces which
generate fibres, or place it in
locations preventing free flow of
air over its surfaces.
Safety information

7
Quartet 1500 User Guide ~ 3rd Edition ~ 27th November ’01 ~ 4197
Plan the location
Situate your Quartet 1500 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
minimise interference.
Do not situate the product in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Your Quartet 1500 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 44.
Handset aerial
Your Quartet 1500 handset uses a
compact aerial which we recommend
be pulled out to obtain the best signal
and reception available.
2Plug the power supply
cord into the bottom of
the base unit
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Quarter 1500 ready for use.
