10 Getting started
1. Getting started
Location
Important
Do not place your D87 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Place your D87 base within reach of the AC power outlet and telephone wall
jack. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be
easily accessible.
Make sure the base is not placed too close to other electrical appliances to
avoid interference. Your D87 works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the
base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
Handset range
Make sure the base and handset are placed within range of each other. Any
obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range significantly.
Thick concrete and stone walls can severely aect the range.
Setting up
Important
The base station must be plugged into the AC power at all times. Use only the
AC power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.

11
Getting started
Connecting the base
1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked on 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 on the underside of the
base and plug the AC adaptor into the AC power outlet. Switch on the AC
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. When charging the battery pack 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, will appear steadily 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.

Connecting the handset and charger cradle
(for multi-pack only)
If you have purchased a multiple pack, you will need to carry out this process
for all the handsets and charger cradles.
1. Plug the AC power jack into the socket marked on the underside of the
charger cradle and plug the power adaptor into the AC power outlet.
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the
2 x AAA Ni-MH 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. When charging the battery pack for the first time, place the handset on the
charger cradle to charge for at least 16 hours continuously.
5. When the handset is fully charged, will appear steadily on the display.
The display will show the time on the screen, to indicate that it is registered
to the base.
Important

Getting started
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 21 hours talk time
or up to 240 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 the rechargeable battery will reduce with time as it
wears out, giving the handset less talk / standby time. Eventually it will need to
be replaced.
Batteries and the handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
1All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected
and usage pattern.
