arrangements should be made for access to emergency
services.
The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the
standard EN 60-950.
The only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power cable from the

Deciding where to put the base station
•To reduce to a minimum any interference with other electronic devices such as
telephones, televisions, screens, etc. we advise you to place your base station at
least 50 cm from any other electronic device.
•Place the base station on a flat surface such as a desk.

•Do not place the base station near a strong source of heat.
The operating range of your cordless telephone will vary according to your
environment. Significant obstacles such as concrete walls or metallic supports
(windows and door frames, partitions, etc.) will lessen the communication range
between the base station and the handset.
Note:
Your Xalio Vox can be adapted for a wall installation using a wall mounting bracket
available from your local Philips dealer.
Connecting the base station
Make sure that you connect the power plug to the correct mains voltage of 230 V.
