Installation
Belt clip
A belt clip is tted to the back of the handset, allowing the handset to be attached to a
belt, shirt pocket or similar.
Wall mounting
The base unit can be wall mounted. Use two screws mounted horizontally 60 mm
apart. The screws should t into the two ‘keyholes’ on the back of the base unit.
Australia Only
The base unit can also be attached to the standard Australian wall plate by using the
included bracket. Attach the bracket by inserting the locators into the “keyholes” on
the back of the base unit and pushing the spring clips into the holes on the underside of
the unit. The base unit can then be attached to the wall plate.
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.
Fully-charged batteries will last for approx 100 hours in standby or 10 hours call time
(does not apply when hands free function is used). These operation times apply at
normal room temperature.
Full battery capacity will be achieved once the batteries have been charged 4-5 times,
completely discharged batteries will take about 10 hours to fully recharge.
Please note that the battery indicator in the display will ash while the handset is
located in the base unit and will not 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. It is better for handsets to be
recharged every other night, rather than after each call.
Please note!
To ensure and maintain good charging of the handset batteries 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.

Installation
Battery charge indicator
The symbol ] in the display indicates when it is time to recharge the
batteries, during a call when the battery is running low a warning tone will
be heard. If the handset is not recharged at this time, the phone will cease to
function until it is recharged. The symbol | will be displayed when the
battery is fully charged.
Range
The range of the telephone varies depending on different factors in the
surrounding enviroment. Radio waves transmiting 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 densely populated areas, houses, apartments, etc. the range will be reduced.
Try to get the best range by relocating the base unit, the ideal location 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.
Headset
When using an optional headset, there is no change in the way a call is received
or made. When a headset is connected, the microphone and earpiece of the
handset are automatically disconnected.
This telephone supports the use of the mute function with a button on the
headset cable.
Please note!
Immediately reduce the earpiece volume on the handset when connecting an optional headset.
The performance of a non-original DORO headset cannot be guaranteed.
