Setting up
Follow these simple steps to prepare your
phone(s) ready for use.
Finding a location
Connecting your phone
Make sure your phone is:
• Within 1.8 metres of a power and phone socket
so that the cords will reach.
• At least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances, to avoid interference.
• Not located in humid or damp conditions, e.g. in
a bathroom.
1 Connect the base power supply into the socket
on the back of the base. Plug the other end into
the mains power socket.
2
Connect the power supply attached to each
charger into the mains and switch on.
On each charger (multi-packs only):
WARNING
Use only the power supply that came with your
phone.
Using another power supply could seriously
damage your phone and invalidate your
warranty.
Do not connect the telephone line cord until
your handset is fully charged. This will prevent
the risk of the phone being answered before the
batteries are charged. Answering the phone
before the batteries are fully charged may
prevent them from reaching their optimum
capacity.
[4]

Preparing the handsets
Battery Performance
Installing and charging the handset batteries.
1
Remove the battery compartment cover.
Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide
the cover off.
Connect the supplied battery pack with the
correct polarity.
Slide the battery cover back until it clicks
securely into place.
2 To charge the battery, place the handset(s) on
the base or on a charger. The charging light in
the base illuminates. While charging, the symbol
scrolls and when the handset is fully
charged, all the bars of the battery symbol will be
filled when the phone is off the cradle.
If the charging light does not come on, reposition
the handset in the base or charger, ensuring that
the charging points contact. You must charge
each handset for 15-20 hours before use.
The handset may become warm during charging,
this is normal. On a single charge your handset will
give 16 hours talk time and 7 days standby time.
New NiMH batteries does not reach its full capacity
until it has been in use for several days.
Over time, as the batteries wear out, the charge
capacity will reduce, so reducing the talk/standby
time of the handset.
Eventually the batteries will need to be replaced.
On each handset:
CHARGE BATTERY
WARNING
BATTERY LOW WARNING
Under no circumstances should non-
rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the
supplied battery pack or you will invalidate your
guarantee and may damage the telephone.
If the symbol is displayed on the handset,
appears and you hear the low
battery tone, you will need to recharge your
handset.
We recommend that you place the handset back
on the base/charger between use to ensure that
it is always fully charged.
