iDECT X2 System

Important note — emergency calls
The iDECT X2isnotdesigned formaking emergency
calls if the mains power fails. So you should make
alternative arrangements for access to Emergency
Services.
(This means that you should also have a basic
phone, that does not need mains power, connected
to your line so that you can make calls during a
power failure.)
Unpacking your iDECT X2 system
In the box are:
■
the cordless handset (up to four, depending on
which iDECT X2 system you’ve bought)
■the base unit
■two batteries and a battery compartment
cover for each handset
■atelephone line cable for the base unit
■amains power lead and adapter for the base
unit
■
up to three charger pods, each with a separate
mains power lead and adapter, for multi-handset
systems
Keep the packaging materials in a safe place in
case you later need to transport the unit. Keep
your sales (till) receipt, which is your guarantee.
Before you can use the handset to make calls
you’ll need to fit and fully charge the batteries,
as described on pages 5 and 6. Please read the
notes on page 4 before you install the base unit.

Connection and conditions for use
You can connect your iDECT X2 to a direct exchange line (DEL) — a line
connected to 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 the iDECT X2 as an extension to a
payphone.
The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones,
fax machines, 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 iDECT X2 has a REN of 1, and most other
telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Choosing a site
for the base
unit and
charger pod
The base unit and charger pod(s) should be placed on a
level surface, in a position where:
■the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible
230-V AC switched mains supply socket — never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
■the base unit’s telephone line cable will reach your
telephone line socket or extension socket (the charger
pod does not have a telephone line connection)
■it is not close to another telephone — this can cause
radio interference
■it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere
else where it might get wet
■it is not close to other electrical equipment — fridges,
washing machines, microwave ovens, fluorescent
lights, TVs etc.
Radio signals
between
handset and
base unit
To use your handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. Be
aware that:
■Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror
or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the
base unit may block the radio signal.
■Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the
signal strength.
Mains power
connection
IMPORTANT — The iDECT X2 base unit and charger
pod must be used with the mains adapter supplied with
the unit. Using any other adapter will result in non-
compliance with EN60950, and will invalidate any
approval given to this apparatus.
!Make sure mains powerto the base unit stays switched
on. The iDECT X2 needs electrical power for normal
operation; not just for charging the batteries.

Before you start
Electrical
safety
■DON’T let the base unit or charger pod get wet.
Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used
while you are wet or standing in water.
■If the base unit or charger pod ever falls into water,
DON’T retrieve it until you have unplugged the power
lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from
the telephone socket (base unit only); then pull it out by
the unplugged cables.
■
NEVER use your iDECT X2 outdoors during a thunder-
storm — unplug the base unit 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.
Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
while on a call, this is probably caused by interference
between the handset and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone or other
electrical equipment.
Move to a different position to clear the interference.
If you do not move, your call may be cut off.
!Radio interference in the environment may occasion-
ally cause a short break in the link between the
handset and the base unit while you are on a call.
The ‘signal level’ on symbol handset’s display may
flash until the link is restored.
‘Out of range’
warning
If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the
sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you
may be going out of range of the base unit. Move
nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the
tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.
