Models with an extra handset (e.g. +1) also include an additional handset, batteries, charger and
mains adapter.
IMPORTANT!
Only use with the supplied power adapter/s.
Connection
1. Connect the mains adapter to the socket on the base unit and to an electrical wall socket.
2. Carefully remove the battery cover from the back of the handset. Insert the batteries into
the handset and ensure correct battery polarity is observed, replace the battery cover.
3. Place the handset in the base unit, with the keypad facing outwards. Once the handset is
correctly positioned in the base unit, a beep will be heard.
4. Leave the handset to charge initially for 24 hours before use.
5. Connect the line cord to the telephone plug and the socket on the base unit.
Only for models with an extra handset (+1...):
6. Connect the additional charger’s mains adapter to the socket on the charger and to an
electrical wall socket.
7. Carefully remove the battery cover from the back of the handset. Insert the batteries into
the handset and ensure correct battery polarity is observed, replace the battery cover.
8. Put the additional handset in the charger, with the keypad facing outwards.
9. Leave the handset to charge initially for 24 hours before use.
Please note!
The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects such as staples and pins. Care should be
taken when placing the handset near these items.
Under power failure conditions this telephone will not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone
not dependent on local power is available for emergency use. Do not place the base unit close to other
equipment such as TV sets, computer screens, telecom equipment, fans, on Granite bench tops etc. This
will minimise the risk of interference. Do not place the base unit in areas where it will be exposed to
direct sunlight or other major heat sources. Only use with the supplied power adapter/s.

Installation
Battery
The telephone is supplied with environmentally friendly nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) batteries – 2 x AAA 1.2V. As with all batteries, performance may degrade
over time; should you notice that the standby time has reduced considerably or
there are signs of leakage, the battery pack should be replaced.
Fully charged batteries will last for approx. 100 hours in standby or approx.
10 hours’ call time. These operation times apply at normal room temperature.
Completely discharged batteries will take about 14 hours to fully recharge.
Please note that the battery charge indicator in the handset display ashes slowly
while charging and will stop when the battery is fully charged.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the batteries
from being overcharged or damaged by prolonged charging.
Please note!
To ensure and maintain good charging of the handset battery/s we recommend that the base and
handset charge contacts are cleaned regularly, ie monthly, with a pencil eraser and/or a soft dry cloth.
The recharging system used in this model may result in the handset and the batteries warming up. This
is normal and will not harm the equipment.
When the telephone is installed for the rst time, the batteries must be charged for 24 hours before using
the telephone. Use original batteries only. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by incorrect
use of batteries. Please dispose of any batteries in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner.
Battery charge indicator
The symbol in the display indicates when it is time to recharge the batteries.
The indicator has three segments, which disappear one by one as the battery charge
decreases. When the battery is running low, a warning signal sounds. If the handset
is not recharged at this time, the phone will cease to function until it is recharged.
will only be displayed when the battery is fully charged.

Installation
Range
The range of the telephone varies depending on different factors in the
surrounding environment. Radio waves transmitting the call may be hindered
by obstructions or signal reections that can reduce the range.
Specied ranges require unobstructed transmission between the handset and the
base unit. In such ideal conditions the telephones range can be up to 300 metres.
In a densely populated area, house, apartment, etc. the range of the telephone
will be reduced. Try to get the best range by relocating the base unit. The ideal
location for the base unit is a high and unobstructed place.
Out of range warning
If during a call the handset is carried too far from the base unit a warning tone
will be heard. Unless the handset is moved closer to the base unit within a few
seconds the call will be lost.
