Read First Before Use
Choosing a site
for the baseunit
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-VAC
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 notclose to anothertelephone - thiscan 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,
televisions etc.
NOTE: if the base comes into contact with liquids, disconnect
it promptly and use a soft cloth to dry it; if you believe that the
liquid has seeped into the unit, do not reconnect the base
station. Contact the IDECT Helpline. Follow the same
procedure for your handset and remove the internal batteries.
it is away from hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight.
Radio signals
between handset
and base unit
Signal range between the handset and the base station is in
accordance with the approved standard for DECT phones:
Maximum range: 300 metres outdoors.
Maximum range: 50 metres indoor.
The signal range could become lower during normal use. Any
large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet,
metallic doors or reinforced concrete, between the handset and

also be reduced by other solid structures, like walls, or by
other radio or electrical interference.

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.
"Out of range"
warning
If you hear a warning tone during a call, and the sound in the
earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you may be going out of
range of the base unit.
Move to a different 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 iDECT X3i base unit 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.
Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the
warning tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.
Battery safety ONLY use the rechargeable batteries supplied with the handset.
DO NOT use non-rechargeable batteries - they may burst and
cause damage to your telephone.
If you havea
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
For stronger radio signal, it is recommended that your telephone
is at the highest possible position. If there is no radio signal
reception, Base 1 message and the signal level icon will flash
on the display.
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.

between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause
problems.
