7Getting started
1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your IT6 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your IT6 base within 6 feet of an electrical outlet and a telephone wall
socket to provide the power to supply the device and to connect to telephone service.
Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your IT6 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
The unit has a range of up to 650 feet 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 the handset either indoors or outdoors, the
range will normally be up to 100 feet. 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 disappears. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning
beep.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base.
Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
Use only the power adapter and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
Connecting the base
1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked on the rear of the base.
2. Plug the power adapter into the socket marked on the rear of the base and plug the
other end into the electrical outlet.

8 Getting started
Charging the handset
3. If you are charging the battery for the rst time, place the handset on the base to
charge for at least 24 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.
NOTE
You cannot access the battery in the handset. Do not attempt to remove the battery, as
you may damage the phone. If you need to replace the battery, contact the customer
service helpline found in this user guide.
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 adapter into the socket marked on the rear of the charger and plug
the other end into an electrical outlet.
2. If you are charging the battery for the rst time, place the handset on the charger to
charge for at least 24 hours continuously.
3. When the handset is fully charged, icon will appear steady on the display. The
display will show
Handset and handset number (e.g. 2) to indicate that it is registered
to the base.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If you hear a warning beep every 2 minutes 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 7 hours talk time or up to 130
hours standby time on a single charge.1

9Getting started
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 down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.
1All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected and usage
pattern.
Setting up your IT6
