Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in dry rooms in a
temperature range of +41°F to +113°F.
¤Set up the base station and charging cradles at a central location in your
building, on a flat, nonslip surface.
The feet on the base station do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. How-
ever, due to the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's
furniture, the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled
out.
For instructions on how to mount the base station and charging cradle on a
wall, ¢page 55.
Please note:
uNever expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight, or other elec-
trical devices.
uProtect your telephone from moisture, dust, and corrosive liquids and
fumes.
Connecting the base station
¤First connect one
end of the power
adapter 1to the
wall plug, and the
other end to the
bottom of the base
station.
¤Then connect one
end of the telephone
cable to the phone
outlet 2, and the
other end to the bot-
tom of the base sta-
tion. Insert the
cables into the cable
ducts on the bottom
of the base station.
Please note
Keep in mind the range of the base station.
It is up to 984 feet in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 165 feet inside
buildings. The range is reduced when Eco Mode (¢page 37) is activated.
