Connect
The location of your base station can have an effect on the range and performance of your ID937 (see TIP
below).
Connecting the Base Station
1. Place the base station in a central location near the telephone line socket and electricity sockets.
2. Connect the supplied splitter to the connector at the back of the base station and then plug the line cord
and the power cable into the respective line jacks on the splitter.
3. Connect the other end of the line cord to the telephone line socket and the other end of the power cable
to the electricity socket.
Line cord
Power supply
Splitter
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.
TIP 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.
WARNING The base station does not have an ON/OFF switch. 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.
