1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your C42H in the bathroom or other humid areas.
1.1 Got everything
• C42H handset
• C42H charger
• Power adaptor for the charger
• 2 x rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells
• User guide
1.2 Location
You need to place your C42H charger within 2 metres of the mains power wall socket so
that the cable will reach. 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 C42H works by sending radio signals between the handset and main
base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the main base. Placing it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.
CORDLESS HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight
between the main 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 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.

4 Getting started
1.3 Connecting the handset and charger the cordless handset
1. Plug the power adaptor 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 rst time, place the handset on the charger to
charge for at least 24 hours continuously.
5. The display will show the handset name and number 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

1.4 Battery and Charging
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.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 16 hours talk time or up to 200
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 charger 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 rst 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.
