Getting started
1. Getting started
Location
Important
Although the O2 handset is water resistant we do not recommend you locate
your main base or charger cradle in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Place your O2 base within reach of the AC power outlet and telephone wall
socket. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should
be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 meter away from other electrical appliances
to avoid interference. Your O2 works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the
base. Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
Handset range
Antenna range: Outdoor range 650 meters1
Indoor range 50 meters1
1When there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any
obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range significantly.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base.
When out of range of the base, the icon flashes. If you are on a call, you will
hear a warning beep.
The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move
closer to the base. The handset will automatically reconnect to the base.
Setting up
Important
The base station must be plugged into the AC power at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully
charged. Use only the AC power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with
the product.

10 Getting started
Connecting the base
1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked lon the underside of
the base and the other end of the line cord into the telephone line wall jack.
2. Plug the AC power jack into the socket marked Pon the underside of the
base and plug the AC adaptor into the AC power outlet. The green Power/
In use light comes on and you will hear a confirmation tone.
Installing and charging the handset
1. Plug the AC power jack into the socket marked Pon the underside of the
charger cradle and plug the AC adaptor into the AC power outlet.
2. The 750mAh Ni-MH battery pack is pre installed. If you are charging the
batteries for the first time, place the handset on the charger cradle to
charge for at least 16 hours continuously.
3. When the handset is fully charged, icon will appear steady on the
display. The display will show the time and handset number (e.g. 2) to
indicate that it is registered to the base.

11
Getting started
Installing the antenna to the handset
To fit the antenna
screw clockwise
with the screen
facing you.
Unscrew
Screw
Replacing the handset battery
1. Unscrew the belt clip, then unscrew the 4 screws on the battery cover (the
screws will stay attached to the battery compartment door) from the back
of the handset and plug in the 750 mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack
supplied.
2. Replace the battery cover and screw the cover into place. Finally, screw the
belt clip on.

12 Getting started
Important
Warning! Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack (750mAh
Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack) supplied with your O2.
Battery low warning
If icon is displayed and you hear a warning beep every 30 seconds during a
call, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again. When
charging, icon will scroll on the display.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 12 hours talk time
or up to 250 hours standby time on a single charge1.
Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been
put to normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset o 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, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need
to be replaced (see page 11).
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time
is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.
1All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected
and usage pattern.
Date and time
1. Press Menu , scroll Dto Clock & Alarm and press Select .
2.
Date & Time is highlighted. Press Select .
3. Enter the date using the format MM/DD/YY e.g.
