1IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please follow these safety instructions when using your telephone
equipment to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury:
1) Read and understand all the instructions.
2) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3) Unplug this product from the wall socket before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
4) Keep this product away from hot, humid conditions or strong
sunlight, and don’t let it get wet or use it near water (for example,
near a bath tub, kitchen sink, or swimming pool).
5) Do not overload wall sockets and extension cords as this can result
in the risk of fire or electric shock.
6) Unplug this product from the wall socket and obtain the service of
our Repair Centre under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
•If the product fails to operate normally despite following the
operating instructions.
•If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been
damaged.
•If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
7) NEVER use your phone outdoors during a thunderstorm. Unplug the
base from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are
storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by
the guarantee.
8) Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

6
9) Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries that
came with your phone or an authorised replacement recommended
by the manufacturer. There is a risk of explosion if you replace the
battery with an incorrect battery type. The use of other battery
types or non-rechargeable batteries/primary cells can be dangerous.
They may cause interference and/or damage to the unit or
surroundings. The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage
arising from such non-compliance.
10) Do not use third party charging cradles. Damage may be caused to
the batteries.
11) Please ensure that the batteries are inserted in the correct polarity.
12) Dispose of batteries safely. Do not burn, immerse them in water,
disassemble, or puncture the batteries.

Package Content for single model
The package contains the following items:
•1 x Handset
•1 x Base Station
•1 x Mains Power Adapter for the Base Station
•1 x Telephone Line Cord
•2 x AAA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries
•1 x Back Cover
•1 x Owner's manual
Note: If you have purchased a SOLO 5035+2, SOLO 5035+1, you will also
have the corresponding extra handset(s) and batteries, a charging cradle
and a battery compartment cover for each extra handset.
Connection and Conditions for Use
You can connect your phone to a direct exchange line (DEL) on a local
exchange with its own phone number; to an extension socket connected
to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not
connect as an extension to a pay phone.
The ringer equivalence numbers (REN) of all equipment (phones, fax
machines, modems, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up
to more than 4, otherwise one or more of them may not ring and/or
answer calls correctly. The phone has a REN of 1, and most other
telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

8
Handset & Base Connection
1) When purchased, all handsets are pre-registered to the base unit
and should link to it when they are all powered up.
2) To use your cordless handset and base unit together, ensure that
you are within range. The signal between the handset and the base
unit is in accordance with the normal standards for a DECT phone:
Be aware that:
> Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, mirrors or filing
cabinets, between the handset and the base unit may block the
radio signal.
> Solid structures, such as walls, may reduce the signal strength.
> Electrical equipment may cause interference and/or affect the
range.
3) Do not place the base unit close to another telephone, TV or audio
equipment - it may cause interference.
4) Putting the base unit as high as possible ensures the best signal.
5) If the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted during a call,
you may be going out of range of the base unit. Move nearer to
the base unit within 20 seconds; otherwise the line may be cut off.

2INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
2.1 Connecting the Base Station
1) Plug the mains power cable and
telephone line cord into the base
station.
2) Plug the power adapter into a
100 - 240Vac, 50 - 60Hz mains power
socket, and the telephone line cord
into a telephone line socket.
Warning:
Always use the cables provided in the box.
Use only the supplied adaptor. Using other power cables may damage
the unit.
Note:
Place the base unit within easy reach of the mains power socket. Never
try to lengthen the mains power cable.
The base station needs mains power for normal operation, and the
cordless handsets will not work without it.
2.2 Installing and Charging the Rechargeable Batteries
1) Insert the 2 supplied batteries into the
battery compartment, observing the
correct polarity (see markings inside
battery compartment).
Warning: Use only the supplied NiMH
rechargeable batteries.
2) Place the back cover over the back of
the handset and press down until it
clicks into place.
3) Place the handset on the base and
charge for 15 hours before using the
handset for the first time.
•The handset will give a double beep when it is properly placed on
the base or charging cradle.
•The battery charging indicator on the base or charging cradle
lights up to indicate charging.
Note: The handset may become warm when the batteries are being
charged or during prolonged periods of use. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.

If you have a broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you
will need to insert a micro-filter between the telephone and the
telephone line; otherwise you may get interference between the
telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems.
In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a micro-filter
connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is
connected to.
If you need more broadband micro-filters contact your broadband
supplier.
