5.00 pm, Monday to Friday, on
01325 304 473

Choosing a site
for the base
telephone and
charger pod
The base telephone 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 telephone’s telephone cable will reach your
phone 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, fluor-
escent lights, TVs etc.
The base telephone can be wall mounted if you prefer,
using the template supplied.
Radio signals
between
handset and
base unit
To use your cordless handset and base unit (part of the
base telephone) 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.
Connection
and conditions
for use
You can connect your Big Button Combo 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 Big
Button Combo as an extension to a payphone.

Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile
Composite Default screen

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 Big Button Combo has a REN
of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless
marked otherwise.
Mains power
connection
IMPORTANT — the Big Button Combo base telephone
and charger pod must be used with the mains adapters
supplied with them.
Using any other adapter will result in non-compliance
with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to
this apparatus.
Electrical
safety
◆DON’T let the base telephone or charger pod get wet.
Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used
while you are wet or standing in water.
◆If the base telephone or the 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; then pull it out by the
unplugged cables.
◆NEVER use your Big Button Combo outdoors during a
thunderstorm — unplug the base telephone from the
telephone line and the mains socketwhen thereare
storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not
covered by the guarantee.

Before you start
Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
while you’re using the cordless handset, 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 occasionally
cause a short break in the link between the cordless
handset and the base unit while you are on a call.
The handset’s display will flash briefly, while the link
is automatically 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.
