
CallBlockerFunction
TheEclipsePlusCallBlockersystemcanbeprogrammedtoblockcertain
calltypesorcallingnumbers.(Seesection10.)
FormostoftheCallBlockingfunctionsyoumustsubscribetoandreceive
theCallerDisplayservicefromyourtelephonelineprovider.
Whenablockedcallisreceived,thebaseandhandsetswillnotring,but
thehandsetwillshowthecallerdisplayinformationandthebacklight
willturnon.Iftheansweringmachineisenabled,itwillanswerablocked
callafteritsnormalsetnumberofringsanditwillrecordanymessage
leftbythecaller,butwithnocallscreening.
NOTE:OthertelephonesconnectedinparalleltotheEclipsePlusCall
Blockermayaffectitsoperation.

Handset&BaseConnection
1) Whenpurchased,allhandsetsarealready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,youmustbe
abletoestablisharadiolinkbetweenthem.Thesignalbetweenthe
handsetandthebaseunitisinaccordancewiththenormal
standardsforaDECTphone:Maximumrangeupto300meters
outdoorsor50metersindoors.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andthebatterychargingindicatoronthebase
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
