Take time to read this user manual
before you use your phone. It contains
important information and notes
regarding your phone.
1.1 Power requirements
• This product requires an electrical
supply of 100-240 volts AC. In case of
power failure, communication can be
lost.
• The Electrical network is classified as
hazardous. The only way to power
down the charger is to unplug the
power supply from the electrical
outlet. Ensure that the electrical
outlet is always easily accessible.
• The voltage on the network is
classified as TNV-3
(Telecommunication Network
Voltages), as defined in the standard
EN 60-950.
To avoid damage or malfunction:
• Do not allow the charging contacts or
the battery to come into contact with
metal objects.
• Do not open your product as you
could be exposed to high voltages.
• Do not allow the charger to come
into contact with liquids.
• Never use any other battery than the
one delivered with the product or
recommended by Philips: risk of
explosion.
• Always use the cables provided with
the product.
• Handsfree activation could suddenly
increase the volume in the earpiece to
a very high level: make sure the
handset is not too close to your ear.
• This equipment is not designed to
make emergency calls when the
power fails. An alternative has to be
made available to allow emergency
calls.
• Do not expose the phone to
excessive heat caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.
• Do not drop your phone or allow
objects to fall on your phone.
• Do not use any cleaning agents
containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene,
or abrasives as these may harm the
set.
• Do not use the product in places
where there are explosive hazards.

station of a different make, first follow
the procedure described in the
manufacturer’s instructions, then follow
the procedure described in section 7.6.
To register a handset of another make to
the SE650/655 base station, place the
base station into registration mode, then
follow the procedure in the
manufacturer’s instructions.

3 Getting started
3.1 Connect the base station
1Place the base station in a central
location near the telephone line
socket and electricity socket.
2Connect the line cord and the
power cable to their corresponding
connectors at the back of the base
station.
3Connect the other end of the line
cord and power cable to their
respective sockets.
The line adaptor may not be attached to
the line cord. In this case, you have to
connect the line adaptor to the line cord
first before plugging the line cord to the
line socket.
Avoid placing the base station too close
to large metal objects such as filing
cabinets, radiators or electrical
appliances. This can impair the range and
sound quality. Buildings with thick
internal and external walls may impair
transmission of signals to and from the
base.
Power is applied when the power
adaptor is plugged into the unit and
connected to the electricity socket. The
only way to power down the unit is to
unplug the power adaptor from the
electricity socket. Therefore, ensure that
the electricity socket is easily accessible.
The power adaptor and telephone line
cord have to be connected correctly, as
incorrect connection could damage the
unit. Always use the telephone line cord
supplied with the unit. Otherwise, you
may not get a dial tone.
3.2 Wall mounting the base
The base is designed to support wall
mounting. To wall mount the base, follow
the instructions below.
1Remove the bracket from the back
of the base station by ➀pressing
the two latches on the inside of the

4Insert screws (not included) into
the wall.
5Align the mounting hole on the back
of the base with the screws on the
wall.
6Slide the base down into place.
3.3 Install your phone
Before using the handset, the batteries
have to be installed and fully charged.
When the batteries are inserted for the
first time, the unit will not be able to
start normally due to the low battery.
You must charge the batteries on the
base station before you can use the
handset.
3.3.1 Install battery
Always use AAA rechargeable batteries
supplied with your unit. If alkaline
batteries are used instead of
rechargeable batteries, “Warning
Batt” will show on the display and the
battery icon will blink quickly.

16 Getting started
1Slide out the battery cover.
2Place the batteries in the correct
polarity as indicated and replace the
cover.
3.3.2 Charge battery
The handset must be charged for at least
24 hours before using it for the first time.
When the battery level becomes low, the
low battery sensor warns you by blinking
the battery icon. If this occurs during a
conversation, an alert tone sounds to
inform you that the battery is low. If the
battery level becomes exceedingly low,
the phone automatically switches off
shortly after the icon starts blinking and
any function in progress will not be
saved.
1Place the handset on the charging
cradle of the base station. A beep is
emitted if the handset is placed
correctly.
2The battery icon on the display
blinks during charge.
3The battery icon becomes
steady when the handset is fully
charged.
Optimal battery life is reached after 3
cycles of complete charging (over 15
hours) and discharging, allowing
approximately 12 hours of talk-time and
150 hours of stand-by time.
The indoor and outdoor range of the
phone is up to 50 metres and 300 metres
respectively. When the handset moves
beyond the operation range, the antenna
icon will blink.
When you reach the range limit the
conversation may become crackly. Move
closer to the base.
3.4 Welcome mode
Before you first use your handset, you
need to configure it according to the
country of use. After charging it for a few
minutes, Welcome appears in various
languages. Follow these steps to
configure your phone:
1Press oOK to display a list of
countries.
2Scroll nto find your country.
3Press oOK to confirm your
