Welcome to eircom

You can view a full user manual at www.eircom.net/phoneguides
Your eircom SIXTY pack contains:
•1 base station
•1 handset (with batteries)
•1 connection cord
•1 power adaptor
•1 quick start guide

Connecting the base
Before making any connections,
please refer to the safety instructions
presented at the beginning of this
quick start guide. Never force the
plugs: they are in different shapes to
avoid connection mistakes.
Step 1 Connect the phone jack into
the correct slot underneath
the base station & connect the
other end into the telephone
wall socket
Step 2 Connect the power supply
to the underside of the base
station and plug in. The phone
display will turn on.
Setting up the handset
The batteries are already inserted in the
handset. To put the handset into use,
simply remove the tab by pulling on it
firmly in the direction of the arrow.
The handset emits a double beep to
indicate that it has started and then
a second beep to indicate that the
handset is synchronized with the base.
From then on, your handset becomes
operative and you can use it to make
calls.
Charging the batteries
Place the handset on the base – a
sound will occur and a light will flash
when the handset is placed on the base
correctly.
For optimal battery charge, you
should leave the handset in the base
uninterrupted for approx 10 hours.
During charging, batteries may heat
up. This is safe and will ensure your
batteries are fully charged.
Only use certified rechargeable
batteries. Non rechargeable batteries
could damage your handset.

You will find a crossed out wheeled bin symbol
on the base of the telephone. The symbol
means that the equipment should not
be disposed of with general household
waste.

• not disposing of this phone with your general
household waste

replaced to a civil amenity site at end of life
for recycling
