Read First Before Use
Choosing a site
for the baseunit
and charger pod
The base unitand charger pod(s) should be placed on
level surface, in aposition where:
the mains adapterplug will reach an easily accessible
230-VAC switchedmains supply socket - never tryto
lengthen the mainspower cable.
the base unit'stelephone line cable will reach your
telephone line socketor extension socket (the charger
pod does nothave a telephone line connection).
it is notclose to another telephone - this can cause
radio interference.
it is notclose to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere
else where itmight get wet.
it is notclose to other electrical equipment - fridges,
washing machines, microwaveovens, fluorescent
lights, televisions etc.
if the basecomes into contact with liquids, disconnect
it promptly anduse a soft cloth to dry it; if you believe
that the liquidhas seeped into the unit, do not reconnect
the base station.Contact the IDECT Helpline. Follow
the same procedurefor your handset to remove
the internal batteries.
it is awayfrom hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight.
Radio signals
between handset
and base unit
Signal range betweenthe handset and the base station is in
accordance with theapproved standard for DECT phones:
Maximum range: 300metres outdoors.
Maximum range: 50metres indoor.
The signal rangecould become lower under exceptional
conditions, such as:metallic doors, reinforced concrete,
radio or electricalinterferences, etc.
For stronger radiosignal, it is recommended that your
telephone is atthe highest possible position. If there is
no radio signalreception, Base 1 message and the signal
level icon will flash on the display.

4
Interference If the soundquality gets worse as you move around while
on a call,this is probably caused by interference between
the handset andthe base unit, perhaps because you are
too near toanother phone or other electrical equipment.
"Out of range"
warning
If you heara warning tone during a call, and the sound in
the earpiece becomesfaint or distorted, you may be going
out of rangeof the base unit.
Move to adifferent position to clear the interference.If you
do not move,it might cause a short break or your call may
be cut off.
Mains power
connection
IMPORTANT - The iDECTX3 base unitmust be used with
the mains adaptersupplied with the unit.
Using any otheradapter will result in non-compliance with
EN60950, and willinvalidate any approval given to this
apparatus.
Move nearer tothe base unit within 20 seconds, until the
warning tone stops.Otherwise, your call may be cut off.
Battery safety ONLY use the rechargeablebatteries supplied withthe
handset.
DO NOT use non-rechargeable batteries- they may burst
and cause damageto your telephone.
If you havea
Broadband line
If you connectyour telephone to a line with a broadband
connection, you willneed to insert a micro-filter between
the telephone andthe telephone line; otherwise you may
get interference betweenthe telephone and the broadband,
which could causeproblems.
In a homewith broadband, every telephone must have a
micro-filter connected, notjust the one at the telephone
point that yourmodem is connected to. If you need more
broadband micro-filters, contactyour broadband supplier.
