Unpacking
The package should include the following items:
- Handset - Mains adapter
- Base unit - Line cord
- 2 NiMH batteries
Models with an extra handset (e.g. +1) are also supplied with an additional handset,
batteries, charger and electrical mains adapter.
Connection
1. Connect the mains adapter to the socket on the base unit and to an electrical
wall socket.
2. Carefully remove the handset battery cover. Insert the batteries into the handset
ensuring correct battery polarity is observed, and 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. Charge the handset batteries without interruption for 24 hours initially
(thereafter fully discharged handset batteries will take 10 hours to recharge).
5. ONCE CHARGED, connect the telephone line cord to the socket on the base
unit and a network wall socket.
6. A click will be heard when the modular plug is correctly connected.
Only for models with an extra handset (+1):
7. Connect the mains adapter to the socket on the base and an electrical wall
socket.
8. Carefully remove the handset battery cover. Insert the batteries into the handset
ensuring correct battery polarity is observed, and replace the battery cover.
9. Charge the handset batteries without interruption for 24 hours initially
(thereafter fully discharged handset batteries will take 10 hours to recharge).
IMPORTANT!
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. The earpiece of the handset
may attract small ferromagnetic objects such as staples and pins, care should be taken when placing
the handset near such items. Do not place the base unit in areas of high humidity of where it will be
exposed to direct sunlight or other major heat sources.
Only use with the supplied power adapter/s.

Installation
Wall Mounting
The telephone can be wall mounted using two vertically mounted screws, 87
mm apart. The screws should then t into the two ‘keyholes’ on the back of the
base unit.
Australia only: To wall mount using the standard wall plate t the supplied
bracket to the underside of the base unit. A click will be heard when tted
correctly.
Range
The range of the telephone varies depending on different factors in the
surrounding environment. The radio waves transmitting the call may be
hindered by obstructions, reducing the range.
Specied ranges require unobstructed transmission between the handset and the
base unit. In such ideal conditions, the telephone 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.
When using the handset close to the range limit during a call, the sound quality
will decrease and the call may be disconnected.
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of possible interference please do not locate the base unit near any electrical
equipment e.g. TV’s, computers, fridge’s, telecom equipment etc or close to radiators, metal pipes
or window frames. Also ensure the base unit is not exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat,
damp or high humidity locations.

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 batteries should be replaced. Always replace both
batteries using only NiMH rechargeables.
Fully charged batteries will last for approx. 100 hours in standby or approx. 10
hours’ call time. The stated times apply at normal room temperatures using fully
charged batteries.
Completely discharged batteries will take about 10 hours to fully recharge (24
hours from new).
Please note that the battery indicator in the display will ash while the
handset is on the base unit, and does not stop/go out when the battery is fully
charged.
The base unit has an automatic charging mechanism that prevents the batteries
from being overcharged or damaged due to 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.
When the telephone is installed for the rst time, the battery pack must be charged for 24 hours
before using the telephone. Use DORO original batteries only. The guarantee does not cover any
damage caused by installing incorrect batteries. The handset is charged with the keypad facing
outwards. Please dispose of any batteries in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner
Battery Charge Indicator
When charging, the status of the battery symbol will remain unchanged until 10
minutes or more continuous charging time has elapsed.
If the batteries are running low will be displayed, although calls can still be
made/received recharging must occur if a warning tone is heard during a call.
Failure to recharge the batteries will result in the telephone ceasing to function.
Recall
Access to additional network services can be gained by using the recall button R,
*and #keys. Contact your network operator for more information.
Press the recall button R followed by the extension number to when connected to
a PBX (TBR only).

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Check that the telephone cord is undamaged and properly plugged in.
Disconnect any additional equipment, extension cords and other telephones
that may be connected. If the problem is resolved, the fault is with the other
equipment.
Test the equipment on a known working line. If the product works then the
fault is with the line. Please inform your local telephone company.
No Number Shown in Display when Ringing
- In order for this feature to function, you must subscribe to the Caller
Identication service from your network provider.
- If - - - - shows in the display, the call may be an international call (no data
received), or from a private or blocked number.
- It may not be possible to receive CID information if the phone operates in a
PBX system.
Warning Signal while Talking/Cannot Connect
- The batteries may be running low (recharge the handset).
Telephone does not work
- Check that charge contacts in handset and base unit are clean.
- Check the adapter, is it correctly connected to the base unit and to the mains
power?
- Check that the telephone cord has been correctly connected to the base unit
and to the line socket.
- Check the charge status of the handset batteries.
