company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be
damaged by person walking on it.
9. Do not overload wall outlet extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on this product.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Instead, when some repair
work is required, take the unit to a qualified technician. Opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the

BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
zDo not burn, disassemble, mutilate, or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, toxic materials
could be released which can cause injury.
zTo reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the battery listed in User’s Guide.
zKeep batteries out of children.
zRemove batteries if storing over 30 days.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with SANIK, type
no. : SN-AAA 60HJ rechargeable battery or equivalent. Do not dispose of the battery in
a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local code for possible special disposal
instructions.
Installation
Connecting the Base Station and Power Plug
Connecting the plugs to the corresponding sockets in the base station (they can not be connected
incorrectly because the sockets and plugs are designed prevent reverse poling). Lay the cable under the
telephone to the rear. Plug the telephone line in the telephone connection socket. Insert the power plug at
the other end in the power outlet. The base station in now ready to operate.
Only use the connection cable
supplied.

4
The base station and charging station have no power switch. Ensure that a Mains
power outlet is close by and that the power plug is easy to access. Check that the
voltage specified on the power plug corresponds with that supplied by local power
network.
Connecting the charging station
Insert the power plug in the socket on the rear
side of the charging station. Insert the power
plug at the other end in the power outlet. The
charging station
Inserting the batteries
Open the battery compartment by sliding the
cover down.
Insert two AAA batteries in the compartment,
ensuring correct polarity.
The handset does not work if the wrong batteries are inserted. It is also possible that
the handset could be damaged as a result. Replace the cover on the battery
compartment and slide it on until it locks in place. Place the handset in the base or
charging station. An acoustic acknowledgement is issued and the charging indicator
signals the charging process has started. Allow the batteries to be charged for 14 hours
without interruption the first time they are charged. When possible, only remove the
handset from the station when the charging process has been completed. This ensures
optimum operation.
CAUTION:
Use only the ATLINKS (Output rated 6V 350mA) power supply that came with this
unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.
