Recommendations and safety instructions
Recommendations and safety
instructions
For safety reasons, never put the handset in the base
station without the battery inserted or without the lid on
the battery compartment as this could cause an electric
shock.
To avoid damaging your handset/base, only use certified
rechargeable batteries NiMH 1.2 V 650 mAh, never use
never use non-rechargeable batteries. Insert the batteries
in the handset/base battery compartment respecting
polarity.
Only use the enclosed Sagemcom power supply unit and
connect it to your plug socket as per the instructions in
this user guide and on the power supply unit's sticker. As
a precaution if there is a risk of danger, the power plug
can be pulled out to disconnect the 230 volt power supply.
Therefore the sockets should be near the device and
easily accessible.
Do not install your DECT telephone in a damp
environment, such as a bathroom, washroom, kitchen etc,
and not within 1.50 metres of a source of water or outside.
This device is designed for use in temperatures of
between 5 °C and 45 °C.
In regions greatly affected by electrical storms we
recommend that you protect your telephone circuit with a
special fixture for excess voltage.
Do not attempt to remove screws or open the appliance. It
does not contain any user-replaceable parts.

This product is intended to be connected to the public
analogue telephone network of any British and Irish
network operator.
Should you experience any problems, contact your
nearest specialst dealer or the Sagemcom Support Team
on 0845 0900 316.
Your DECT telephone has a range of approx. 50 metres
indoors and up to 300 metres outdoors. The range can be
affected by the proximity of metal objects, such as a
television and electrical devices.
Zones without reception may appear owing to elements in
the building. This can cause brief interruptions in the
conversation, caused by faulty transmission.
Certain medical equipment and highly-sensitive machines
or security systems may be affected by the transmission
power of the telephone. In these cases we recommend
adhering to the safety information.
Your D790-D790A has anti-skid pads that should leave no
traces on your furniture and ensure stability. However,
given the the wide variety of finishes used by furniture
manufacturers, traces may appear on surfaces in contact
with the parts of your D790-D790A. Sagemcom
Broadband SAS decline all responsibility in any such
cases of damage.
The used battery must be disposed of in line with the
recycling regulations in this user manual.
