IMPORTANT
• Avoidexposureofthistelephonetomoistureorliquid.
• Topreventelectricshock,donotopenthehandsetorbase
cabinet.
• Avoidmetalliccontact(e.g.metalclips,keys)betweenthe
batterycontactsandchargingconductors.
• Thereisaslightchancethatthetelephonecouldbe
damagedbyanelectricalstorm.Itisrecommended
that users unplug the phone from the mains supply and
telephonesocketduringastorm.
• Donotusethehandsetinanexplosivehazardareasuch
aswherethereisgasleaking.
• Followthelocalregulationsregardingthedisposalofyour
packingmaterials,exhaustedbatteriesandusedphone.
Whereverpossible,recyclethosematerials.
• Thisphoneshouldnotbeusednearintensivecaremedical
equipment.Personswithpacemakersshouldconsulttheir
Doctororcardiologistbeforeusingthisphone.
• Cleanwithadry,soft,lint-freecloth.Neverusecleaning
agents,particularlyaggressivesolvents.
• Becausethephoneworksbysendingradiosignals
betweenbasestationandhandset,wearersofhearing
aidsmayexperienceinterferenceintheformofahumming
noise.
• Yourphonecaninterferewithelectricalequipmentsuch
asansweringmachines,TVandradiosets,clockradios
and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that

Getting started
Location
Youneedtoplacethebaseunitwithin2metresofthe
mainspowersocketandtelephonesocketsothatthe
cableswillreach.Makesureitisatleast1metreaway
fromotherelectricalappliancestoavoidinterference.Your
cordlessphoneworksbysendingradiosignalsbetween
thehandsetandbase.Thestrengthofthesignaldepends
onwhereyousitethebase.Puttingitashighaspossible
ensuresthebestsignal.
Handset range
The range is 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handset
eitherindoorsoroutdoors,therangewillnormallybeupto
50metres.Thickstonewallscanseverelyaffecttherange.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range.
Whenoutofrangeofthebasetheiconflashesandthe
handsetgivesanout-ofrangewarningtoneeveryminute.
Thistoneisrepeateduntilyoumovebackintorange.
Ifyoumoveoutofrangeduringacall,thetelephonecall
willbedisconnected.Movebackwithinrangebeforeyou

when placing the handset near these items.
• Thistelephoneisnotdesignedformakingemergency
telephone calls when the mains power fails. Always have
acordedphoneavailabletobeabletomakeandreceive
calls to emergency services if the mains power fails.
• Donotuseyourtelephoneduringanelectricalstorm

makeanyfurthercalls.Thehandsetwillautomaticallyre-
connecttothebase.
Thebasestationmustbepluggedintothe mains power
at all times. Do not plug the telephone line cord into the
wallsocketuntilthehandsetisfullycharged.Onlyusethe
powerandtelephonecablessuppliedwiththeproduct.
IMPORTANT
!
Battery low warning
If the iconflashesinthedisplay,youwillneedto
rechargethehandsetbeforeyoucanuseitagain.
Duringcharging,the icon in the display will scroll.
Battery performance
Inidealconditions,fullychargedbatteriesshouldgive
about10hourstalktimeor100hoursstandbytimefroma
single charge.
Notethatnewbatteriesdonotreachfullcapacityuntilthey
havebeeninnormaluseforseveraldays.
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.
Batteriesandhandsetsmaybecomewarmduringcharging.
This is normal.
Tip!
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the
charging cradle when it is not in use to ensure that the
handset is always fully charged.
DONOTUSESTANDARD/ALKALINEBATTERIES
INTHISPRODUCT,ASTHEREISARISKOF
EXPLOSIONAND/ORINJURY.ONLYUSE THENi-

• Donotopenormutilatethebattery.Released
electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the
eyesorskin.Itcanbetoxicifswallowed.
• Avoidcontactwithmetalobjectswhenhandling the
battery.Theseobjectscouldshort outthebatteriesor
causetheconductortooverheatresultinginburns.
• Donotattempttorechargethebatterycellbyheatingit.
Suddenreleaseofbatteryelectrolytecancauseburns
orirritationtotheeyesorskin.

Purchasing additional handsets
Youmayexpandyourcordlesssystembyaddingmore
handsets(eco8050).Thesecanbepurchasedseparately
fromtheretailerwhereyoupurchasedtheproduct,or
directlyfromOricom(Australia)
www.oricom.com.au.
The eco85 can accommodate a total of 5 cordless
handsets.
If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband
connection, you must connect an in line filter (not supplied)
between the telephone socket and your phone base to
ensure that your broadband and eco85 will work properly.
If you do not install the filter you will experience interference
on the cordless phone and your Broadband may suffer
dropouts. Please refer to the user guide of the in line filter
for installation.
In a home with broadband, every telephone, fax or
answering system must have a in-line filter connected,
not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is
connected to.
Additional in-line filters can purchase from electronic
stores.
• Observetheproperpolarity,ordirection,ofanybattery.
Reverseinsertionofthebattery cellcanresultin
leakageorexplosion.
• Removethebatteriesifyoudonotplantousethe
product for several months at a time.
• Followthe localregulationsregardingthedisposalof
