6Getting started
1. Getting started
Location
Important
Do not place your C6 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Place your C6 base within reach of the mains power 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 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your C6 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
The unit has a range of up to 300 metres 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 significantly. With the base indoors and the handset
either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick
concrete and stone walls can severely aect the range.
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 mains power at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully
charged. Use only the power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the
product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTOR?
The power adaptor with a clear connector is for the base unit and the power
adaptor with a red colour connector is for the charger unit (for multi-pack only).

7
Getting started
Connecting the base
1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked on the underside of
the base.
2. Plug the power adaptor with clear connector into the socket marked on
the underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall
socket. Switch on the mains power.
Installing and charging the handset
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the
rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’ markings
inside the battery compartment and insert in the correct direction.
2. Slide the battery cover back into place.
3. If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on the
base to charge for at least 16 hours continuously.
4. When the handset is fully charged, icon will appear steady on the display.
Plug the other end of the telephone line cord (make sure that one end is
already plugged into the base) into the telephone wall socket.
Press
down
1
Slide

8Getting started
Connecting the handset and charger
(for multi-pack only)
If you have purchased a multiple pack, you will need to carry out this process for
all the handsets and chargers.
1. Plug the power adaptor with red connector into the socket marked on the
underside of the charger and plug the other end into the mains power wall
socket.
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the 2
x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’
markings inside the battery compartment and insert in the correct direction.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
4. If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on the
charger to charge for at least 16 hours continuously.
5. 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.
Important
Warning! Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells (2 x AAA Ni-MH
550mAh rechargeable batteries) supplied with your C6. Please do not use alkaline
or nonrechargeable batteries. It may cause permanent damage to the product
and void the warranty.
Battery low warning
If icon flashes on the display and you hear a warning beep every minute
during a call, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.
When charging, icon will scroll on the display. Once fully charged scrolling
will stop.

9
Getting started
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 charge.1
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.
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
If you have subscribed to a Caller ID service, the date and time is set automatically
when you receive your first call. (Only applicable to FSK caller ID systems)
If you do not have a Caller ID service, you can set the date and time manually.
Note
In either case the year has to be manually set.
Set the date manually:
1. Press m, scroll dto

The display shows
