1. GETTING STARTED
This user guide provides you with all the information you need to
get the most from your phone.
Before you make your rst call you will need to set up your phone.
Hearing aid
Please note that the ML0656 works by sending radio signals
between base and handset.
These signals may interfere with some hearing aids, causing a
humming noise.
1.1 Functions
• 50 Name and number phonebook for storing your most
frequently used numbers.
• Caller Display shows you who’s calling before you answer the
phone* and keeps a list of your last 40 callers. You can also dial

• Redial up to 10 of the last numbers called.
• Use up to 5 handsets with your phone.
• Make Internal calls and transfer external calls between handsets.

WARNING
Do not place your ML0656 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
1.2 Handset range
The ML0656 has a range of up to 300 m outdoors when there is a
clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will reduce the range signicantly.
With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the

range will normally be up to 50 m. Thick stone walls can severely
affect the range.
1.3 Signal strength
The icon on your handset display indicates when you are in
range of the base. When it ashes and you hear a warning beep,
you are out of range and will need to move close to the base.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line cord to the telephone line wall
socket until the handset is fully charged. The base station should
be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
1.4 Location
You need to place your ML0656 within 2 m of the mains power
socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make
sure it is at least 1m away from other electrical appliances to
avoid interference. Your ML0656 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends
on where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible can help
to provide the best signal.
1.5 Setting up the base and handset
1. Plug the power adaptor and telephone cable into the back of
the base.
2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch
the power on. When connected correctly, the green Power light
on the base comes on.

3. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking not of
the polarity markings inside the battery compartment, then slide
the battery compartment shut.
4. Place the handset on the base to charge. You should let the
batteries charge continuously for at least 24 hours. The batteries
and case may become warm during charging, this is normal.
5. Once fully charged, plug the telephone line cord into the
telephone wall socket.
WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable batteries. Only use the approved
batteries. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee
and may damage the telephone.
1.6 Talk / Standby time
Under ideal condition, the handset batteries should give about
10 hours 30 minutes talk time or 160 hours standby on a single
charge (this does not mean you can unplug the base or leave it
for this length of time without charge). Please note that new NiMH
rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity until they have
been in normal use for several days. Battery low warning.
If the battery icon is ashing in the display and you hear a
warning beep every minute during a call, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it.
1.7 Connect the charger(s) and charge the handset(s)
1. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on the
underside of the charger and plug the other end to the mains
power wall socket.

of the polarity markings inside the battery compartment then
slide the battery compartment shut.
3. Place the handset on the charger. You should let the batteries
charge continuously for at least 24 hours.

Your phone is now set up to make and receive calls.
1.8 Battery Performance
To keep the batteries in the best condition leave the handset off the
base for a few hours at a time. Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them last as long as possible. The
charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as
they wear out, thus reducing the talk/standby time. Eventually they
will need replacing.
