Please note!
Under power failure conditions this telephone will not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone

Installation
Belt clip
A belt clip is included, which can be tted on the back of the handset. The belt clip
enables the hand unit to be attached to a belt, waistband or similar. On either side of
the handset, there are indents for the clips to clasp onto. To attach the clip, press it
into place over the back of the handset.
Wall mounting
The base unit can be wall mounted. Use two screws horizontally mounted 50 mm
apart. The screws should t into the two ‘keyholes’ on the back of the base unit.
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.
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 charge indicator in the handset display will ash while the
handset is on the base unit 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. It is better for handsets to be
charged 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 soft dry cloth. The
recharging system used in this model may result in the handset and the batteries heating 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.
When the battery is running low the display will show and 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 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 densly populated areas, houses, apartments, etc. the range will be reduced.
Try to get the best range by relocating base unit, the ideal location is a high and
unobstructed place.
